I passed by our next mom traveler’s hometown last week on my way to Spring Break in Kissimmee, Florida. Well, not actually. As Jennifer (@twokidsandamap) from Two Kids and A Mapexplains it, Pensacola is in Northwest Florida, closer to Alabama than it is to Orlando. Okay, but I was at least in the general vicinity. […]
Legoland Florida in Pictures
Legoland Florida is the largest Legoland in the world. It’s simply amazing. I’m ecstatic that I got a chance to take my son to see it. I think he’s secretly created a bucket list to visit the other 4 of them across the world. Here we come California, Denmark, Germany, and […]
Disney World For All – The Family Travels To Magic Kingdom
I remember the days when we traveled one week every summer from New York to Orlando to visit Disney World. My mom’s best buddy would organize a bus trip for family and friends from Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Manhattan. Preparing for the trip to Disney World was just as fun as arriving at our […]

Outsourcing Travel Services: Where Do We Draw the Line?
It’s 9:30 on a business morning and I’m calling customer service to make changes to a reservation. I get a rep who I can barely understand, part due to our connection and part due to their accent. I have very little time or patience to continue saying, “Can you repeat that please?” After their failed attempts to locate my reservation and a waste of 10 minutes, I hang up the phone highly annoyed.
The Road to Kissimmee and Orlando
The countdown for our family trip to Kissimmee and Orlando has officially begun. Customary to family vacations that we take in the middle of the school year, I’ve had to keep my excitement contained.

Parrot Minikit+ Hands-free Device Review & Giveaway
On average, I spend 260 minutes a day in my car, dropping my boys off to school and therapy. Add running errands to the mix, and I’m easily spending over 5 hours a day behind a wheel. Some of that time is spent sitting and waiting. However, 67% of it is spent actually driving. This […]
