A Family Travel Blog
I’m writing this post from the Park Hyatt Tokyo, here with my 7-year-old. Japan is my 48th country with kids, and in the course of all of that travel we’ve learned what to take and what not to take on trips – to the point where we typically don’t start… Read More
Antarctica Packing List I’ve now been to Antarctica twice, first with National Geographic Expeditions with my 8-year-old, and most recently with Adventures By Disney with my 12-year-old. I originally included this packing list in my second blog post, but it makes more sense to make it a separate post so… Read More

Note: this post was sponsored by Adero, but they seem to have gone out of business. The post is still relevant though, and there are now a lot of companies, including Apple, that make small tracking devices that can keep you from losing things. Packing I’ve done packing posts before… Read More
Packing Tips I’ve done several packing posts over the years: But when Travelocity asked me to write a packing post for them, I realized that I’ve never done an all-inclusive packing post. So now I have! This includes the main items from our ‘every-trip’ packing cube, clothes, shoes, luggage, packing… Read More
I’m writing this post from Prague at the end of our annual month in Europe. Czechia is our 47th country with kids and our 10th this summer alone. Over dinner we started talking about what we’ve learned through all of this travel and quickly came up with ten pieces of… Read More
A Complete Safari Packing List (e.g. What to Wear on Safari) As frequent travelers, we try to pack light. This was easy to accomplish in warm East Africa. Most lodges have inexpensive laundry services ($1-2 per item) and it’s easy to hand wash and quickly dry non-cotton items. We traveled around… Read More
