As a both a local pediatrician and travel health specialist, and a person who frequently finds himself in international locales, often I am asked about travel with children. While there is no doubt that it can be challenging, simple pre-travel preparation can help parents and children avoid many preventable problems.

Dr Dover is a great resource for our area. His knowledge of vaccinations and travel medicine and illness are vast. If you have any foreign travel planned don't just rely on your family practitioner or the CDC website, go to him for advice that will take into not just the country you plan to travel in, but what time of year, what region and what activities you plan. Dr Dover was particularly helpful to me in some of my travels to India, when he supplied me with a very specific list of medications and instructions to take in case I became sick while traveling in India.
Unfortunately I did become sick and I credit the "pre-emptive" kit that he supplied me with as potentially saving my life, or at least saving me from what could have been hospitalization in a highly speculative facility.

Excellent travel immunization doctor. Not only does he have on hand most vaccines few other offices would ever carry (yellow fever being an example), he determines the best care for you based on your travel destination. Being an experienced traveler himself, he knows this arm of medicine. Dr Dover is educated in tropical medicine from London. He is also known for halting an outbreak of malaria in the States during the Vietnam War era.
