Cyprus may be a 5 hour flight away and I was dubious about this distance at first, but it really did prove to be a wonderful destination for a long weekend soaking up the sun and winding down with the family. I was a little anxious about travelling off peak at first but was left…
If you had told me a car park tunnel at a Sainsbury’s supermarket in Bude, Cornwall was a no.1 tourist attraction on Tripadvisor and then was going to be one of the longest tunnels of Christmas lights in Europe this year, I would never have believed it. But, turns out it’s true and it looks…
The Langham Hotel, London has always been a special place to me – for those of you who read my previous article on our Langham staycation, you’ll know why. In short, it was a place of fond childhood memories and I always vowed that when I was older, I’d be able to share those memories…
The Polo Bar – a bar that has such a chic and dazzling Swarovski Crystal window display, it has caught my eye many a time when walking past. Situated in the heart of Mayfair amongst London’s most exclusive fashion distric t and only a stones throw from tourist hot spots Bond Street, Regent Street and…
Winter isn’t all about gloom and dreariness. It also isn’t all about taking a sunny break in the tropics, either. There are some wonderful little spots in Northern Europe that make for perfect winter holiday locations, and even if you don’t walk away with a tan, you will still find yourself revitalized and entertained. It’s a lovely feeling to wrap up warm and venture out into a new city, grabbing a hot chocolate or a cup of soup, watching people go about their day, and discovering different winter traditions to bring home.
Montmartre is quite magical at night with those little cobblestone streets, chatter and music filling the air from bars and restaurants and an atmosphere of palpable mischief and mystery surrounding you. Discovering a city at night is one of my favorite parts of traveling, part of it being adventure and the other part a willingness to see how the locals live and dream.
New York City is a great travel destination for families even with small kids. It’s safe, fun, accessible, and doesn’t have to be overly expensive either, if you plan it right.
I don’t think I know anyone who hasn’t spent part of their work day daydreaming about a Caribbean holiday. Or someone who hasn’t plodded through the grey cold of the morning imagining aqua blue waters, white sand, a huge hot sun, and an icy, creamy cocktail. It’s the ultimate dream destination that is just as fulfilling in real life.
Staycations are not something we often go on – with the last one almost 5 years ago, when H was just a little bean growing in my belly. We spent the weekend in Hampshire and although it was very lovely, the exhaustion that came with it wasn’t so and I remember being horizontal for the…
You asked and we listened! We are so excited to announce that we’ll soon be launching a fully extensive travel section to this website to help inspire parents with ideas for outings, holidays, weekends away and so much more.
