Planning Rome with kids feels like a daunting task. We haven't taken the kids to Italy yet, but our friends Frank and BJ have taken their son and have written their recommendations for how to plan a trip and the top sights to see with kids in Rome. They share what experiences in Rome are the most engaging for small
Sailing from Split to Dubrovnik, stopping at seven ports of call along the coast of Croatia. Fortresses, national parks, biking, swimming, nude beaches, wine tasting and more.
Unless you’ve been island hopping in the Dalmatian Isles, you might not have heard of Mljet or considered visiting this funky little Croatian island. There are lots of things to do on Mljet and if you have the opportunity to spend a few days here, it’s well worth it and you’ll be so glad you did. We loved the two
When you live in the United States and you think about taking a trip to Europe, your mind darts so quickly from place to place and you start to create an enormous to-do list of sights and experiences you MUST cross off. Venice, Italy is at the top for everybody, I swear, and rightly so. But today you hear stories
We sailed into several beautiful port during our sailing trip through the Dalmatian Isles of Croatia, but none stole our hearts the way Vis did. Visiting Vis was exactly what we’d hoped for when planning our trip to Croatia. With two days of exploring we know just what to see and what to do in Vis. The Best of what to
So, you know that we had the most amazing time sailing from Split to Dubrovnik with Med Sailing Holidays, well after we made our final port, we took some extra time to explore King’s Landing… I mean Dubrovnik. We had the run of weather in Dubrovnik, including the most booming thunder ever, but most of the time is was sunny.
Wouldn’t it be great if all travel all the time went exactly as planned and the weather was always perfect? Yeah, but that doesn’t always happen. We just did Dubrovnik in the rain and it was actually really cool and gave us a very different perspective on the city. But what do you do when it’s raining in Dubrovnik and
So, who followed along on our incredible sailing adventure through the Dalmatian Isles of Croatia? What?! You missed it?! Well we’ve got lots to share about the whole experience from ports of call to booking your travel.

You guys, I have a work trip to London. "London, Baby!" Yes, in addition to the work stuff I've got going on, including researching some stuff for an upcoming family trip, I'm doing London Joey Tribiani style. London solo travel is going to be all about fun, history, famous sights and visiting with a bunch of my London friends. Follow along
Italy really is a unique, beautiful country everywhere you go. We loved Venice and its canals, and getting completely soaked when a monsoon hit. Florence was awesome despite being there during the week that EVERY museum closed for maintenance. And then exploring Pisa was such a whirlwind that we could only love it; no time for anything
We have so much travel planned in the next few months, but we’re also looking at our next potential trips too. We may be hitting the UK in September. We’ll definitely be in Mexico in October. We’ve been talking about Italy. Last time we were in Italy we just wandered through the country, hiking as we found it, swimming when
We’ve become aficionados when it comes to traveling without technology and instant communication, which is funny because when we’re at home we’re connected so easily. Being in the grand blogosphere we’re told about all kinds of programs and services as they’re made available to travelers; some are awesome and some we forget that we were ever approached. Insidr shared the
Every place you visit has different versions of itself. Seattle has the pretend romantic side that's captured in Sleepless in Seattle, but then is also full of fog and spilled coffee. Los Angeles has the traffic and pollution you see on the news, but after dark it's calm and quiet. And then Venice is all tourists all the time
Every city has its must-see sights. Sometimes they are built up to be the most amazing thing you’ll ever see and sometimes they’re completely underrated. Venice is incredible, but St Mark's Square is ridiculously crowded. You know what’s not as impressive? The Space Needle in Seattle. Also, the Leaning Tower of Pisa but it is unique and when it comes
We are always planning another trip; always adding to our travel bucket list. A week out, month, maybe a year or two. We need to have a list of where we want to go and what our next jaunt is. Typically, we plan a year out, but sometimes it’s more, and then sometimes we are so random that we disappear
