Cruising with Kids – Tips, Tricks and What to Pack

We have just returned from our first ever family cruise holiday. 10 days aboard Royal Caribbeans’ Ovation of the Seas from Sydney to New Zealand. There are lots of online review and guides about crusing with kids, so instead of rehashing the basic info I thought I’d share with you a few tips and tricks from our trip. What to pack, what not to pack, what to expect, what the food is like and most importantly…..did the kids love...

Dubai for Kids

Planning a family holiday in Dubai can be, in one word, overwhelming and in another word expensive! There are SO MANY options for accommodation, things to do and places to see that trying to put together an itinerary can be a bit of a brain explosion. I recently spent a mind blowing 4 days in Dubai with my 7 year old visiting my sister who has lived in the UAE for 5 years, so we had a bit of insider help. I’m sure there are MANY more...

Japan! THE place to go for snow! Kuma Lodge at Madarao, Japan

Why Ski Japan? Only because it’s got THE BEST snow in the world! Add to this the awesome side of experiencing another culture, the comparably short travel time to get there and such lovely people and you’ve got enough reason to consider a visit. View of Madarao resort from Kuma Lodge This year we took the kids to Japan for a 2 week holiday in early March and cannot recommend it highly enough! The best bit is that it didn’t...

Fly LegsUp

On a recent trip to Europe with our three young children, I was dreading the flights. We had done a little bit of travel with the kids before, but with all three children our longest flight had been to Perth and the kids had not even looked like settling down to rest on that flight. So I was not looking forward to the 14 hour long haul flight to Europe AT ALL! Being concerned about the children sleeping or resting, I looked into a product that...

The All Inclusive Bali Family Holiday – NOTHING like I thought it would be

An all-inclusive holiday is something I’ve never done before and I’ve gotta be honest, it’s not the type of holiday that’s ever been on my wishlist. I’ve always thought they sounded a bit restrictive and I’m not really the kind of person to spend an entire day inside a resort. We like to get out and explore and see what’s around. BUT I will give anything a try, and after looking at the websites for the...

Bali Family Accommodation – 3 of the best are put to the test

Our experience at 3 of the best family resorts in Bali! We recently returned to our favourite family holiday destination, Bali, for 9 nights in November 2016. This was my 8th trip to Bali, and my 4 year old daughter’s 4th. I wanted to try some of the best-rated Bali family accommodation and every Google/Trip Advisor search I did, the same 3 hotels came up every time. So I wrote to them to see if we could stay during our holiday and put...

Bali with Kids

Bali with Kids. My friends either love it, or hate it. My family, we love it! This is my seventh trip to Bali, the third with my daughter (3) and it definitely won’t be our last. There are lots of other websites with a lot of great information about traveling to Bali with kids, so instead of rehashing I’m going to give you my personal top tips, and put some links at the bottom of this post for where you can get more detailed...

Travel Tips for Hawaii with Kids

I recently got back from a 10 day holiday on the Hawaiian island of Oahu with my 3 year old daughter, my sister and her 13 year old son. We stayed at the Sheraton in Waikiki and hired a car so got to see quite a bit of the island. If you’re ok with driving on the other side of the road I’d definitely recommend a car so you can escape Waikiki for a few days and see the other beautiful spots Oahu has to offer. There are LOADS of...

The Warwick Hotel – Fiji

My lil family of 3 have just returned from a day 5 holiday dash to Fiji. I have been to Fiji before, but that was many moons ago, before kids, you know, when you just went on holidays and did WHATEVER you liked, WHENEVER you liked. No….can’t remember that far back? Me either. Anywho, this isn’t our first overseas trip with Winnie, so we felt like we knew what we needed from our accommodation and after a few nights of trawling...
