Our trip to Bangkok has exposed me to something new that we would like to share with the world. I sat in shock talking to the marketing staff about one of our most favorite hotels in the world – The Dusit Thani in Bangkok. This is the third time we have stayed at the Dusit […]
As a parent, there are times when your dreams come true and you get to take the kids and go on a safari. To ensure that there is a smooth flow of events, you will need to ensure that everything is in check. Overlooking anything could cause a disaster, so it is important to plan […]
We have arrived! It has been a rough start to Bangkok with our luggage being left behind in Ethiopia, so we have been told to go out and shop for emergency supplies every day until it arrives (up to 3 days) by the airline and so we only arrive in our casual flying clothes. But […]
Our time has come to leave Kenya and getting to the airport was rather an adventure. Firstly, I somehow looked at the times the flight from Ethiopia was leaving rather than when it was leaving Kenya, so that meant that our time to leave our lovely hotel was quite a dashing trip. We had a […]
So the time has come to leave Kenya and we just so don’t want to leave. We’ve been busy at a local orphanage, and staying at a great hotel, so I am not surprised that I somehow managed to confuse our exit flight., I discovered a treasure at the airport that I believe will be […]
We started our Random Acts of Kindness with the hope of making a difference in every country we stepped into – to travel with a purpose, and to teach my young son to care for others who may never be able to give back. I have to admit that while we have walked the streets […]
While we have traveled to over 70 countries, we still find that there are some hidden gems that other traveling families ask us about. What did we do? Where did we stay? What fun places did we explore? And much more. For this reason, when we find a place that we really enjoyed, then I […]
It has been well documented in recent years that children are spending less and less time outdoors. With the rise of tablets and computer games, it is easier than ever to occupy children from the confines of a lounge. One study across America showed that, despite being enchanted by the outdoors, 80% of children reported […]
We travel the world – permanently – that means we stay in a LOT of hotels and resorts, and we get to see all the good and bad points of properties. We know what we don’t like, and we know what we do like, but we also know what makes us fall in love with […]
We LOVE Kenya! And we have been here long enough to know what makes a good place to stay and what doesn’t. The experiences we have had as we journey around the world have helped us understand the challenges most travelers are forced to deal with. Choosing a good resort in any country tops the […]
Kenya has managed to win a HUGE soft spot in my heart! I cannot believe that it took me years of traveling before I landed in this beautiful country. I remember a Facebook friend saying “you have left the best until last” and maybe she was right? Now that I am here, I have realized that there […]
Children ran on the streets rolling tires with sticks, as our tuk-tuk bumped through the dusty dry laneways. Today is our last day in Diani Beach Kenya, and I promised many of you, that we would distribute food to needy families here, and some of you kindly gave towards this. A lot of you have […]
