I am so happy that I read. Don’t laugh – it’s true. I’ve committed to designating Thursdays around here, “Travel Tip Thursday”. Naturally, I immediately had writer’s block and could not figure out for the life of me what would be my travel tip for the week. After reading an article on yahoo, I figured […]
Vacation Home Rentals vs. Hotels
After a stressful birthday week with sick kids, I had the pleasure of enjoying a spur of the moment getaway with my family. We stayed in a vacation home on a quiet inlet in Ocean City, MD. Normally, we book hotels when we travel – partially out of habit but mainly due to convenience. Whenever […]
Heritage Travel – taking our kids back to their roots
Whether we are from another state or another country, it’s important to always take our kids back to their heritage, back to where their people come from.

Thoughts on the Plane
Every once in a while I need to write something that may have nothing to do with providing resources, information or tips. My travels tend to have some sort of “adventure” component to them, somewhere along the line. In the past, except for a select few (i.e. family and best friends), all the craziness has stayed locked in […]
Travel Instructions for Daddy
In my beloved aunts words: “It’s always good to write everything down”. And as a result of this wonderful advice, my husband survived my 3-day getaway in one piece. In my previous post, I spoke about a solo trip I was taking. Remember I mentioned how busy I’d be, in an almost neurotic state writing everything down for my husband? Well, I […]
Traveling without Kids
Any chance that I can get to travel solo, I will sing to the heavens and skip with a song in my head. It is a rare occurrence in many moms’ lives, and I’m no different. Traveling with kids is fun and unpredictable but let’s be honest, when they’re young – it ain’t no picnic, […]

I’m always talking about physical vacations but I thought to address the notion of taking a digital break – a vacation from technology – after reading a New York Times article “When phones interfere with Flight Safety”.
