Family World Trip: Medical Poker
Disclosure: I’m writing this post before meeting with the travel doctors or telling our children that they’ll be getting multiple shots over the next few months in preparation for our family world trip. I expect the doctor to be competent and professional. I expect my children to absolutely lose it when they realize what’s going Read the Rest…
Swans At Lake Eola
We spent Christmas 2009 in Cocoa Beach, Florida with some family. I’m not a huge fan of theme parks and I didn’t find the strip-mall ambiance of the beach towns on Florida’s Atlantic Coast very appealing. However, we stopped in the Lake Eola area of Orlando on our way to the airport and discovered that Read the Rest…
Stuck On A Freeway With Two Under-Fours
Today’s guest post is from Sarah Franklin, the editor of How To Fit A Car Seat On A Camel – a hilarious collection of stories about traveling with kids. I love Sarah’s writing and subscribe to her blog nevergoeswithoutsaying. In fact, I might say her post on the real Irish Anthem is possibly my favorite Read the Rest…
Family World Trip And Schooling
We have started detailed planning for our family’s around the world trip. Since we’ll be taking CAM and BigB out of school for this trip, the decisions about how to manage schooling on the road are the first and most important part of our pre-trip planning.

Photo Friday: Taronga Zoo Fun
Since I’ve started blogging about traveling with my children I’ve become, what CAM disdainfully calls, a ‘paparazzi mom’.

Preview Of Whistler Before The 2010 Winter Olympics
We spent last weekend at Whistler Blackcomb – our first foray onto the slopes in this ski season. I had been expecting to avoid Whistler this year since I thought that accommodation pricing would be higher than usual because of the Olympics but I was able to find a pretty good last-minute deal for a Read the Rest…
Terrorist Watch Lists And My Family
According to the TSA, my Mom is a suspected terrorist. Until very recently, so were my husband and son. There are some that might joke about that being the price we pay for being Irish (a country with a fine history of home-grown terrorism) but I disagree. To me, the extra screening and sometimes aggressive Read the Rest…

The Oregon Trail At Whitman Mission
When we spent the weekend in Walla Walla last fall, we stopped by the Whitman Mission for a little leg-stretching between visiting wineries. As you would expect, the NPS provides plenty of information on the history of the Mission. CAM surprised us by sharing what he had learned in his Washington State History class about Read the Rest…
