A Villa in Tuscany with Kids A few years ago we agreed to take the kids (1, 3 and 5) on a Disney Cruise through the Mediterranean. Expecting to basically be trapped on a Disney ride for 12 nights, we scheduled the next part of the summer to be far more relaxing…a… Read More
I’ve now traveled to Bali with my daughters three times the past few years. My oldest daughter was 9 and 10 during our trips. My youngest was 9. Per my post on the best places to go with kids at every age, Bali is perfect for 9-10 year olds, and… Read More
One on One Travel When my daughter was four, I took her to Australia – the start of our tradition of one-on-one travel. When she turned five, we decided to head off again, and this time she chose China. She was studying Mandarin in Pre-K and wanted to travel to… Read More
Rosewood Mayakoba with Kids We’ve been searching for a perfect kid-friendly hotel since, well, our kids were born.

Kid-Friendly Hotels Listen up hotels! I’ve stayed at a lot of you, and some of you are definitely more kid-friendly than others. I’ve written before about things that could be improved at specific hotels (the Mauna Lani in Hawaii, the Four Seasons Bora Bora), but since readers of this blog have given… Read More
How to Travel for Less We travel a lot with our kids – 15 countries or so most years. We couldn’t do it if we were paying full prices for everything, or getting gouged by avoidable fees. These are the top 10 things I do to travel for less, and… Read More
Mexico City Walking through the streets of Mexico City, we knew we were being followed. There were three or four men, dressed only in black and white, staying a steady distance behind us. They followed us for over a mile. When we slowed down, they slowed down. When we sped… Read More
