Off To Chicago for TBEX
I’m off to Chicago to meet a long list of travel blogging friends in person (mostly for the first time) at TBEX in Chicago this coming Sunday including: Jamie from TravelSavvyMom, Mara from MotherOfAllTrips, hopefully a few of the fine gals from the TravelingMamas, Jessie from WanderingEducators and many more. It’s going to be a Read the Rest…
In Praise Of Single Moms Who Travel
We interviewed many moms for the Traveling With Kids book, every one of whom had a unique story or perspective on traveling with children due to their own personal experiences. I remember being particularly moved by Karen H.’s story: she traveled through India alone with her two sons, then eight and ten. Having just returned Read the Rest…
Free Range Kids On The Road
I read Lenore Skenazy’s blog Free Range Kids for the first time last month. Seriously, I cannot believe that I missed last year’s media furore when she let her then 9 year old son ride the New York subway home alone – but then again, I’m a working mom and I admit, there are days Read the Rest…
Pre-Teen Pre-Flight Commentary
I think I’ve mentioned that my older son, CAM, is a reluctant traveler. But his inherent grumpiness about everything travel-related sometimes leads to some genuinely funny moments. Here’s a couple from our recent trip to Mexico. On the shuttle from parking to the terminal CAM (At the top of his voice): The only thing which Read the Rest…
How Online Travel Agencies Could Leverage Blog Content
Earlier this month, I attended a travel industry networking event hosted by NerdsEyeView and Yapta.com here in Seattle. This event, the inaugural meeting of SCOOT far exceeded my initial expectations. What I thought was going to be a purely social meet-and-greet event was instead an in-depth discussion of the state of the online travel industry Read the Rest…
Flight Cancelled!
It’s been 10 years since I’ve experienced a cancelled flight so I must admit that I was flabbergasted when we arrived at SeaTac Airport this afternoon to see FLIGHT CANCELLED next to our flight number on the departures board. We had checked in the night before and had printed out our boarding passes. Busy at Read the Rest…
More Ryanair Madness
Today is Photo Friday and I should just post a travel-related photo, but I came across this news article this morning and it’s so nutty, I just had to blog about it. Charging for using airplane toilets??? What utter insanity. Not to mention that comparing this to coin-access toilets at bus or train stations is Read the Rest…
Being a host rather than a traveler for Christmas guests
This year, for the Christmas holidays, we will not be traveling. Instead, my sister and her husband, will be visiting from the U.K. – on his first visit to the U.S. Family visits are always fun, but when you live far away from your family, as we do, visits tend to be infrequent – maybe Read the Rest…
wanderdad, zambia 1969
WanderDad, Zambia 1969 Sometimes, for Photo Friday, I try to choose a photo which compliments the theme I’ve been following in my blog posts that week. Other times, a photo posted by another blogger participating in this fun weekly round-up of photos from all over the world influences my choice. And then there’s times when Read the Rest…
from all the traveling moms
It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve been able to write about some of the fun and interesting posts I’ve found on other travel blogs. I couldn’t believe that in taking some time out, I almost missed the Traveling Mamas post on Romance in Ireland. There are many cynical people (Irish or not) who Read the Rest…
