# Trains & Frogs > A travel resource for all families with neurodiversity, pets, and grandparents. Family travel guides written from real trips by a family who travels with a neurodivergent teenager, a dog and grandparents. Each guide records what actually worked and what didn't: crowd and noise levels, walking distances, pet rules, age limits, food and timings. Each destination has several article types: - **The Experience** — What the trip was actually like — what worked, what didn't, and what we'd tell another family. - **Itinerary** — The day-by-day plan in brief. Built to print, and to read offline. - **Tips & Hacks** — Food, driving, weather, timings and the small things worth knowing in advance. - **Food** — Where we ate, what worked for picky eaters, and what we cooked ourselves. - **24 Hours** — One city, one day, in order — for when that's all the time you have. - **Highlights** — The places worth building the trip around. - **In Detail** — The long version — every day, every stay, every stop, written up in full. Every page on the site has a plain-Markdown copy at the same URL with `.md` appended. All guides and posts in one file: https://trainsandfrogs.com/llms-full.txt ## Iceland The land of fire and ice.
