Beating The Queues At Disney. Orlando Florida.
After three amazing visits to Orlando Florida and one to Anaheim, we think we’ve learned a thing or two about beating the queues at Disney.
When we read a post from our friend and fellow Aussie traveller Sharon about suffering in the Disney queues we felt her pain but we were a bit surprised becau

Posh Pooches Celebration Florida
Princess Pooch. She and her owner were gorgeous.
So, you know how I love finding unexpected things as we travel and not over-planning everything? Well we had another good one today! Posh Pooches in Celebration was yet another unexpected road trip joy.
We went for a drive to check out the town of Cel

New Orleans Mardi Gras
New Orleans Mardi Gras just happened to us by accident.
We’re almost at the end of our 1 month USA road trip, New Orleans is our final destination, one I’d picked, I’d always wanted to see the Big Easy.
As we left Orlando a few days ago we started having a quick look online for accommodation in New

Where to Eat Out in New Orleans With Kids
We’ve just spent an amazing few days in New Orleans at Mardi Gras and, honestly, we spent a lot of that time eating.
In our whole 1 month USA road trip, I think New Orleans offered us the best food, even on our moderate budget.
We did wonder a little, where to eat out in New Orleans with kids, beca

How I Became a Road Trip With Kids Ninja!
My road to becoming a road trip with kids ninja!
Yesterday I pulled out all of my road trip with kids ninja skills for a 10 hours journey from Mississippi to Florida. For at least 9 of those hours we were sitting in a car. That’s me, my husband and two boys, aged 9 and 7.
Was it hard? No
Did they fi

Why Travel to El Salvador ?
Inside the spectacular Iglesia del Rosario in San Salvador
Why travel to El Salvador? Nobody goes to El Salvador.
That’s what a family member said when she found out we were heading for the smallest country in Central America. It’s not your usual tourist destination, certainly not for family travel

Did Travel Blogging Fund Our Long Term Travel?
When we set off on this adventure in 2013 we hoped we could travel indefinitely, or at least for several years, on our savings and a few small income sources. We had a travel blog that was doing OK and we had a dream, would, could, travel blogging fund long term travel? Almost 1 year in and we’re ru

Visiting Four Disney Parks in One Day
We set ourselves a challenge while we were in Orlando, Florida. Visiting four Disney parks in one day. Not only that, we wanted to ride all of the biggest and best rides. Do you think it’s possible?
If you’re wondering if the queues will make visiting 4 parks in one day impossible, don’t. See my po

Finding Cheap Cruises
Finding cheap cruises isn’t so hard, this is how we found a cruise for under $30/day. Pin this to Pinterest to bookmark it.
What do you think about cruising? If you think it’s just for rich, old people who enjoy dinner dances, you’d be wrong, these days there is a ship for everyone.
In January this

Things To Do Around Port Douglas. Not The Usual Things.
I get a lot of emails from people asking me for ideas on things to do around Port Douglas. After all, I lived there for 7 years, I know the area pretty well and I’m a travel blogger. It’s what travel bloggers do, help people with travel plans. So, rather than answer each email individually as I nor

Flower Carpets in Antigua Guatemala
We knew that flower carpets in Antigua Guatemala were an Easter tradition before we arrived. We didn’t know that we’d be seeing them every Sunday during Lent, in the run up to Easter, and we knew nothing about the process of making them, nor the amount of time the locals invest in this beautiful tra

Things to Do in Orlando for Kids : Animal Farm
Looking for something different to do in Orlando for kids?
Much as we all love theme parks, most families need to find a few other things to do in Orlando for kids during their Florida holiday. One of our family favourites, for some non-theme-park fun, is Green Meadows Petting Farm. It’s a welcome

Problems of Travelling With Kids
Problems of travel with kids, oh yes, there are a few. Some consider them major problems, others, tiny inconveniences massively outweighed by the benefits. We are firmly in the second group or we wouldn’t be doing this crazy non-stop travel thing.
A reader asked me to write this post a long time ag

Getting to Guatemala from USA. The Cheap Way.
Bus heaven! The bus from San Salvador to Guatemala City.
We think we found a great way of Getting to Guatemala from USA at the end of our 1 month USA road trip. It worked our cheaper for us to fly from the USA to El Salvador and enter Guatemala overland, than it would have been to fly direct to Guat

Attacked by Dogs in Antigua
We travel to find new and different experiences, but while being attacked by dogs in Antigua qualified for both categories, it was an experience we really could have done without yesterday.
We are a family of 4, we have two small children, 7 and 9. We are staying in Antigua, Guatemala for a while a

Food in Antigua Guatemala
tortilla soup, one of my new Central American favourites. Cafe Sky Antigua
While we are having a very nice time here, quietly living our lives for a month, the food culture in Antigua is very different to what we’re used to in Asia. For some reason we expected everywhere on the backpacker trail to h

Things to do in Kandy, Sri Lanka (With Kids or Without)
When you think of things to do in Kandy the big-ticket attractions are what probably come to mind:
The Temple of The Tooth
The Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic is located inside the Royal Palace of Kandy, on the shore of the lake, and is justifiably the biggest tourist draw in Kandy. This Buddhist

Travelling During Perimenopause
Perimenopause has been a roller-coaster ride for sure. When we left home 10 months ago I already knew that I was in the midst of this interesting time of life, but I didn’t expect my symptoms to get progressively worse and to cause us a few problems as we travel. I’m tough, really tough, not a deli

Getting To Dambulla From Kandy Sri Lanka
Getting to Dambulla from Kandy, Sri Lanka
Kandy, high in the hills of Sri Lanka is a pretty good place to base yourself if you want to visit all the historic sites in this part of Sri Lanka. We spent 5 days in Kandy, enjoyed the relatively cooler climate of the hills and were never short of somethi
