We’ve gone on four Disney cruises now – two in the Mediterranean, one in northern Europe and one in the Caribbean – and stopped at 24 different ports. At those stops we’ve done a little of everything on our shore excursions: we’ve booked official Disney Port Adventures; we’ve booked our own private or… Read More
Note: This post originally appeared at Travelocity.com. I had a crush on a girl in Oslo, so I went. It took 24 hours to travel to Norway’s capital via train and ship from Berlin, but it would be worth it because she was there. Arriving the morning of New Year’s Eve, it was… Read More
The Planning The earth is 24,874 miles around at the equator. Phileas Fogg traveled around it in 80 days in Jules Verne’s fictional novel, but that was before airplanes. Phineas and Ferb traveled around it in 24 hours, but they have the advantage of being cartoon characters. In reality you could… Read More

They’re simple creations – dough wrapped around a metal cylinder, baked and… Read More

Croatia When my son was in Kindergarten he taught himself world geography on his iPod, and a few countries captured his imagination. One was the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Nope, not traveling there with kids anytime soon. Another was Croatia. He liked that the country started with the first three letters as… Read More
Such a fun travel year! Starting in Colorado and ending in Thailand, I flew 178,790 miles to 20 countries on 4 continents. I don’t think I had flown more than 150,000 miles in a year before? Five countries were solo – India and Japan for photo expeditions, Germany and Spain for travel conferences… Read More
Ten Amazing Things to Do with Kids Around the World My oldest daughter just turned ten. In those ten years, we’ve taken her and our other two kids (5 and 8) to 32 countries on six continents and have done a lot of amazing things. So I asked the kids to vote for their… Read More
