A Family Travel Blog
Family Travel (for 2018) As you probably know, I write about family travel for Travelocity every month. Heading into 2018, they asked me for my family travel recommendations this year. Happy to oblige! I short-listed roughly 25 destinations – places that we’ve traveled to recently and loved, places that are… Read More
It was another amazing year of travel! I didn’t quite match my 2016 statistics, flying 230,511 miles, or roughly 25,000 fewer than last year, but I couldn’t have fit another trip in if I tried! My 21 countries included (in order): US, UK, Oman, UAE, Costa Rica, Chile, Bermuda, Mexico,… Read More

To my mind a successful trip needs:… Read More

Five countries were solo – India and Japan for photo expeditions, Germany and Spain for travel conferences… Read More
I’ve been to roughly 80 countries, but in all of that travel I had only spent one day in Japan – a 14-hour layover in Tokyo over a decade ago. It was a huge gap in my travel experience. With a credit from National Geographic Expeditions from a cancelled trip… Read More
