Yesterday, you read all about my time in LBK and Orlando, Florida. But since what is vacation for but to criss-cross an entire state, that’s not the end of it. I was lucky enough to have AT&T sponsor me for SheStreams, the fabulous Social Media beyond the blog conference held by Maria Bailey of BSM [...]

Our Spring Break came early this year. We were off for two weeks, before just about anyone else, and we headed down to Florida. I have to be honest: mostly, I go to Florida because my parents have a condo on Longboat Key, off the west coast of Florida, near Sarasota, so we don’t have [...]

A couple of weeks ago when I was at SheStreams in Ft. Lauderdale, my husband took the kids surfing. Seriously. Two NY kids surfing. I love it. He shot it with my Sony Bloggie HD camera. (Thanks Clever Girls) So small, yet works so well! I mean, if he can take video with it, anyone [...]

Costa Rica. The Canadian Rockies. South Africa. These are all places I’ve taken my kids. I have nothing against Disney World. I’ve taken them there, too. (Once.) But Disney offers a perfectly fabricated adventure – and they do it better than anyone – and I want my kids to know all about the messy, surprising, [...]

Last weekend was a busy one. On Friday, I stuffed swag bags all day in preparation for the J&R jr Kickoff Party downtown. Then late Friday afternoon I hurried uptown to the first ever Family Travel Conference, which started at 2pm, and went pretty much straight through until Saturday afternoon. Sunday morning, up early to [...]
Family Travel: To Tech or not to Tech?
Posted in Humor, Travel on January 18, 2012 | 1 Comment »
Family vacations are supposed to be all about togetherness. So does that mean that no one can be on their phone or handheld game, or ipad, or computer the entire time? Yikes. I mean, can you get the DTs from electronic withdrawal syndrome? Kim Orlando gave that a shot on her recent family vacation to [...]

Forget the tech. Forget the wireless TVs you can carry from room to room. Forget the cool iPad cases and super slim speakers. THIS is what being in Vegas is all about.

We have friends, who every year, head to Costa Rica on vacation. I’ve been to Costa Rica. I loved it. We had a wonderful trip. And maybe I’ll go back someday to see another part of it, but five years in a row? I don’t get it. I like my vacations to be about discovering [...]
