With the exception of medications, any amount of liquid including […]

Meanwhile, 10 Years Ago in Florida…

Posted by 3 years ago 6 Comments 8005 views

When Jen and I were kids, our parents took us to Ocean City, NJ, every year. This planted the seed for our travel obsession.

Posted by 3 years ago 1 Comments 1234 views

I never complain about travel. But … I will complain about booking travel. The husband and I are going to Mexico in June.

My unsolicited advice to anyone who is building or designing a bathroom in a hotel suite … MAKE IT LARGE ENOUGH FOR TWO PEOPLE! Really. This was by far the worst hotel bathroom I have ever been in. And it was a suite! Recently, Roni and I went to Denver to scope out two hotels for […]

Electronics Can Stay On!

Posted by 3 years ago 0 Comments 649 views

Friday was a good day for travel. It was announced that you no longer have to turn off your electronic devices when the plane is taking off! Apparently reading your Kindle, listening to an iPod, or playing a game on your phone no longer interferes with air traffic control. I just have to say it. […]

Last year I started an end-of-summer tradition by taking both kids to DC by myself. I thought it was a good idea to have some alone time with them doing something I love (traveling). We had a BLAST and it put all my fears of being the only adult traveling with 2 kids to rest. […]
