From even before the moment we stepped foot in the front foyer of Armada Peru Hotel in Istanbul, we had amazing service. What happened to us this day was unique. The roads were blocked so we had to follow a taxi in order to find a place to park and get to the hotel. The taxi […]
We are part of a Facebook group called ‘Families on the Move’ – a group of long-term traveling families who encourage, swap tips, share advice, and generally help each other. We also meet up from time to time, so the kids can play, and the adults can talk. One family in this group has been […]
We Slept in a Cave in Cappadocia This is our third year of travel, and over that time we have slept in many weird and wonderful abodes. We’ve slept in a Palace in Paraguay, a Tent in Croatia, a Treehouse in Guatemala, a Yurt in England, a Castle in Wales, and many more interesting places. […]
We have arrived at Selçuk and it is Saturday night. As usual, we are ‘winging it’, and don’t have a hotel booked as it is offseason. We try a couple and they are both crazy prices for nothing very exciting. But, the minute we walk into the Efes Antik Otel we know we are going to stay […]
©Exploramum and Explorason – Hotel Famissi We drove nearly all day, with a 2 hour stop in Ancient Delphi, and then heading on past snow-capped mountains toward the Meteora region. We are booked to stay in a lovely hotel called “Hotel Famissi”. When we drive in Kalampaka, it appears that Famissi is a popular name […]
We have arrived in Athens. I drive around (and no – Athens traffic is not that crazy either), with a list of hotels to look at, and they all look pretty bad. We head to an area where we are due to have a conference, and the prices are sky high for hotels, or they […]
Hotel Cokkinis – Million dollar view on the coast of Greece We have left Corinth and then been to see the famous Greek Canal and we decide to take the old road toward Athens, hugging the coast. We call into about 3 different hotels and apartments, but nothing feels right. It is getting dark and […]

St. Andrews to Broughty Ferry, Scotland Today is a big day. We left Edinburgh after lunchtime, made our way over the famous Forth Bridge area and then turned to drive along the coastal route. We stopped for hot chips and a coffee at a lovely seaside town called Pittenween. At first, the sky was blue, […]

Encarnacion Hotel Puesta del Sol & Canela Fina Restaurant, Paraguay We decided to meet our Norway friends in Encarnacion. It is always nice meeting people you know while on a family travel since it eliminates the need for luxury travel experts advice. This, therefore, means that we save so much during our single parent travel. […]
