traveling and kindle testing
This is like a new sweater or cool new pair of jeans which I bought weeks ago but which still have their tags on. I’ve been on the fence about the Kindle for a long time. I was still working for Amazon when the prototype was being handed around internally and I didn’t like the Read the Rest…
gift ideas for kids who travel
It’s that time of year again folks, time to start thinking about holiday gifts. We’ll be traveling for Thanksgiving this year, so travel is on my mind as I start making my list and checking it twice. Thankfully, this holiday flight is only a short two-hour hop to the Bay Area. As I shop for Read the Rest…
introducing a destination to your child
Introducing a new place to a child is very different to introducing a new place to an adult. If you say “Paris” to most adults, they will likely think of the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, and the Champs-Élysées – regardless of whether or not they have ever visited Paris. If you say “Paris” to a Read the Rest…

kids food and travel
My children are disgracefully fussy about food. I’m not going to even try to comprehend why. The genetics involved (i.e. mine and the WanderDad’s) should point towards adventurous palates with a penchant for hot and spicy. The reality couldn’t be further from the truth. I did an experiment once, and fed them their favorite food Read the Rest…
monday dreaming of my camera
Well, not my camera exactly, the WanderDad’s camera. It was a Christmas gift from me to him, and it was the only camera we had with us on our trip to Italy. But it was stolen. Casio ZX-100 There’s nothing particularly remarkable about this camera. It’s a simple point-and-shoot, takes good photos, and is easy Read the Rest…
Book Review: Rough Guide Rome DIRECTIONS
Photo: Amazon.com The WanderDad, the kids and I spent four fabulous days in Rome this past June. Going to Rome, showing my kids around and having them enjoy the Eternal City as much as I did the first time I visited there was an important goal for me as I planned this trip. The weather, Read the Rest…
Hotel Review: Radisson SAS Rome
I like Radisson SAS hotels. Maybe it’s the clean, sparse Scandinavian styling – almost as far away from my cluttered home as you could imagine. But, we didn’t plan to stay at the Radisson in Rome. It sort of happened by accident. We left Lucca, having just spent a fun but busy week with family, Read the Rest…
A travel accessory every Mom should have…
The KIVA Keychain backpack. My older son is a packrat and a cool stuff, gadget geek. He found this in a local store and just loved the fact that a backpack-sized bag folded up so small. I paid this particular purchase no attention until I was packing for our trip to Italy. Since we were Read the Rest…
If you’re wondering where to go or what to do on your next trip…

The author takes a week-by-week, month-by-month approach to introducing fun, novel, exciting and sometimes challenging places to go and things to do worldwide. There’s definitely some things he mentions which I Read the Rest…
