Family Adventure Vacations We’re always heading off on adventures around the world.

Traveling Around the World I’ve traveled around the world, in one itinerary, four times now. The first was when my eldest daughter was 10. We flew LA-Orlando-Paris-Dubai-Oman-Borobudur-Bali-Sydney-LA in two weeks.

I visited several times in college – meeting up with a friend in Zurich, spending a weekend with friends hiking up and down the ski slopes in Crans-Montana and making the requisite… Read More
Why Uganda? This trip started with a ticket credit on Qatar Airways that was about to expire. I looked at the airline’s route map and Entebbe, Uganda jumped out at me. Uganda would be a new country for me (my 99th) and I’ve seen a lot of friends posting about… Read More
Positano Italy Positano always looks amazing in movies and on tv – beautiful and romantic, a hilly beach destination with stunning views and excellent food. In all of my Italy travels though I had somehow never made it to Positano, or anywhere on the Amalfi Coast. It was time to… Read More
