9:00 am rolls around all too quickly, and we are ready to hike again! I have been up since 6:00 a.m. enjoy my quiet time with a coffee in our room overlooking the misty morning Muong Hoa valley. Every muscle in my body seems to be screaming for attention since our vigorous trek through the […]
The first official day of our tour of Vietnam has us both very excited! We’ve already spent a few days in Hanoi and are ready to go exploring. We check into the lovely Viet View Hotel and Spa in the center of Old Hanoi, and we have an elegant and classically decorated room, complete with fresh […]
I’m perched precariously on the back of the motorbike seat as we weave through the thick late afternoon traffic of Hanoi. Donned on my mop of curly hair is a ‘Hello Kitty’ helmet that is reminiscent of a World War II German helmet in shape. I find my wits are sharp as we wiggle around moving […]

We are flying from Malaysia after two glorious weeks here in Penang. Flying with a child means I always need to consider his needs, as there is nothing worse than an unhappy kid, and the inability to tend to their requirements mid-flight. Some of the things as a parent I need to consider include: how […]
We have just spent 10 glorious days in Batu Ferringhi on the island of Penang in Malaysia. ( You can read about our time here.) Once an island only known for its Betel trees (because the Betel tree fruit, the Areca nut, from where the island is ‘legend’ to have first got its name) so we are told […]
We’ve just spent the best part of ten hours on buses coming from Melaka to Penang. Not one bus, but three buses! And not just driving, there seemed to be long waits where we sat for what seemed forever. On a positive note, the buses improved with each swap, with the last bus being executive plush […]
We have just had the most incredible time in Singapore. We have been here writing the Top Ten Things to Do for Kids and finished off with a great stay at the iconic Raffles Hotel. We wake to a rather smoggy day and the air is thick from the fires and burn-off of Indonesian fields. […]
Singapore is amazing and is an ideal location for families. From little toddlers to teenage kids, you’ll find Singapore jam-packed with exciting activities that will keep your kids off their phones and technology, and out of the hotel room exploring this amazing city. We first booked only four nights here in Singapore, but soon found we […]
Summer may be on its way out in the Northern Hemisphere, but this doesn’t mean that it’s too late to book a beach holiday. In many countries, you’ll find plenty of sunshine hanging around for weeks to come. If you’re thinking of planning a beach break in Europe, here are some of the best destinations to […]
In Singapore, there is a range of fantastic hotel offers for luxury accommodation. Family hotels and resorts are plentiful, and we find a few that we can recommend that will suit all budgets. I think one thing you need to decide before you book is which area you want to stay in. Sentosa Island, Chinatown, […]
If you like to travel in luxury style as a family, then Raffles Hotel is the place for you. We’ve had 2 great days here as the end to our second time in Singapore draws to a close. From the moment we arrive by taxi, my son begins to feel like he is a ‘special […]
