So, if there is one thing we have learned over the years, it is how to simplify things to make travel more of a pleasure and less of a hassle, especially during…

Tipping is rather different when you’re traveling in Europe. It is not as expected or as high as it is here in the US, even when service has been less than stellar. If you have never been or haven’t been to Europe in awhile, here are some tipping tips to help destress your vacation and give you one less thing to worry about. It does…

While we love to travel every chance we get, we do think about what damage we inflict on the environment at the same time. From energy use in transportation to all of the disposable products to food we waste, it’s hard not to have a negative impact. But, it doesn’t have to be that way. There are a few easy things you can do to…

We do a lot of solo travel and love it, but it hasn’t always been easy. It takes awhile to get used to travel alone and some people never do and simply won’t. We, on the other hand, would never think to NOT travel, because we had to go by ourselves. In fact, it’s often one of our favorite ways to escape… The “getting used…

We would love to always be able to plan way ahead for our vacations, but all too often life intervenes and we aren’t allowed this luxury, so we head off for a quick getaway. And, hey, sometimes travel spontaneity is really the way to go, especially if you’ve had the week from hell and really, really need to leave it all behind and unwind. When that…

But, it certainly doesn’t mean that armed with a little knowledge, we still can’t have amazing adventures. For some, nothing actually will change much at all, but those are the lucky few. For the rest of us, some adjustments in…

I did 50 squats, 40 leg lifts, tons of lunges, and jogged in place the other morning. I got in a serious 20 minute workout. By the time I got home, I was really sweating. Okay, so you’re probably going, “Big deal. So did I”. What’s the difference? I did mine while I was walking my dogs. For some reason, I started doing side leg…

Traveling is a huge part of our lives. We travel for fun, for vacation, for fly fishing, for work, for triathlons, to see family, and sometimes just because. Finding the perfect place to stay always take priority, because where you stay plays a very important role in your overall vacation experience. Whether we are staying one night or two weeks, we want to be comfortable,…

When I lived in London for several years, I actually sort of commuted. While my husband lived there full time, I would come and go every 10 days to two weeks. We also did a lot of traveling around the world during this time. Not only did I rack up the frequent flyer miles and get to know a lot of flight attendants personally on…

We recently spent 9 days traveling with another couple, 7 of which were spent on a sailboat. It could have been a disaster or pure bliss. It’s hard to know going in which it will be. You could be the best of friends for many years and then be constantly at each other’s throats on vacation together. It only takes one bad comment, adverse event,…

It happens. Kids grow up and then they are 18 and legal to drink in many countries where you may travel. The summer after my twins turned 18, they traveled to Europe and India together and were legal to drink. As they were staying in small hotels and hostels, we knew they would be asked regularly if they wanted a drink and so, we knew…

We’ve done a lot of traveling over the years with the kids, both domestically and internationally. It takes planning, fortitude, AND creativity, but I wouldn’t trade one experience for the world. We’re happy to share what we’ve learned with you. Some of these are for the kids and some of them are for the grown ups. These are not the technical tips having to do…
