I am finishing my basement, and want to put laminate flooring in 2 large
rooms (kitchen and family room.

These rooms are separated by an 8 foot open archway.. as indicated by the
link below.

The question is, Can the 2 rooms be laid continuously. or do I have to put a
transition between the 2 rooms ?

A transition is not required. It's a lot more work to lay continuously.
You'll be doing a lot more notched planks.

Sacrifice a plank and cut it into 3 inch pieces so you can plan the
layout so the tongue of the boards match the opening between the family
room and kitchen (starting from the window in the family room).

A Skil laminate saw makes things easier, though a table saw is fine too.

Buy the laminate with the foam pad already attached, and the laminate
that uses no glue (floating). Costco's Harmonics is good, though the
supplier really gouges for the baseboards and transitions.
