Third, it’s a cool, interesting city. Despite all of that,… Read More

Six Senses Laamu in the Maldives: Our New Favorite Resort Anywhere
The Maldives with Kids For my son’s nine-year-old trip with me, he chose the Maldives. This wasn’t a surprise – he’s always liked remote islands and turquoise waters. The only issue was with the distance. The Maldives are almost exactly halfway around the world from California, 12 time zones away. Not a major problem… Read More
Chile’s Atacama Desert with Kids
Spring Break in Chile Part Two – the Atacama Desert with Kids We traveled to Chile for spring break largely because of Patagonia – one of the most beautiful destinations anywhere.

Costa Rica with Kids We have a week off from school every February.

Hawaii is always an option, except… Read More

Ten Incredibly Cool Kid-Friendly Activities Around the World
On our 13-hour flight back from Sydney this weekend, I started working on my round-up post of our favorite things in the world from the past year. Some are easy, since there’s usually one view from a hotel room that stood out, one breakfast, one resort, and so on. But… Read More
Ashford Castle: The Coolest Place to Stay in Europe
I definitely can’t take credit for discovering Ashford Castle. In the past year it’s been ranked in the top 10 in virtually every list of European resorts, and I’ve watched as other travelers posted from there on Instagram.
