Doha, Qatar with Kids Last year I flew to Doha with Qatar Airways and did absolutely as much as possible in Doha and out in the desert over three days. It was a great trip and I was impressed with Qatar and its people, but I wished that I had… Read More
Single Parent Travel My oldest daughter just turned 14, which means that I’ve been taking one-on-one trips with my kids for 10 years. The short version of how the tradition started: my daughter, at 3, wanted to go to Antarctica. I told her that we could go when she was… Read More
A Smart Garage The first time I heard about Wi-Fi, I remember thinking: “I guess it would be nice to be able to send my document wirelessly to a printer in another room.” That was my entire vision of how I thought Wi-Fi would be utilized in the future. And… Read More
Things to Do in Ojai, California Ojai has long been a perfect Los Angeles weekend getaway. The town of 7,500 is less than two hours from LA, but worlds apart, set in a valley of sage and oak and surrounded by orange and avocado groves. It’s easy to find activities for couples, given… Read More

We’ve previously visited Six Senses properties in Oman, the Maldives, Vietnam and the Seychelles, and Soneva Fushi in the Maldives. Why am I lumping Six Senses and Soneva together? Because they were founded… Read More
