A Week in Orlando, Florida

It was a late morning kind of day for a change, usually we travel early in the morning or very late in the night making it a hectic pack up last minute items and run.  So it was a nice change and all smooth getting ready for this trip to Orlando, on what seems to…

Arizona – A desert beauty

What a day it has been?  What was expected to be the quickest and easiest part of our entire trip ended being the most stressful.  We were supposed to get a cab at 9:30am to go to LAX Airport and depart at 12:30pm to Phoenix.  Notwithstanding the last minute cancellation the night before for the…

Disney’s Anaheim – Enjoyed it a little more than I should.

So first “overseas” trip in the COVID era and all its wonderful restrictions – although we travelled to British Columbia and Alberta earlier in the year, and technically Canada-US travel is semi-domestic but was an experience nonetheless.  It was a full time job just understanding the testing requirements, quarantine timelines (especially for kids), and all…

Travel Apps that Saved My Life

Most regular travellers have their usual go to apps that they rely on with almost obsessive impulse.   They are all intended to make travel easier, less stressful and more organized.  Often times you get so entrenched in your regular apps you miss out on some of the new ones out there.  Here are my current…
