There have quite a few issues happening of late with one of my home airports, San Francisco (SFO), and I thought some of these developments might of interest to those of you who travel to the West Coast with some frequency. United Terminal Confusion First is an issue that has been covered quite a […]
Leaving Your Traveling Tyke Behind
Big news… my husband and I just booked a 10 day vacation. In Europe. Without our little one! Now that our daughter is three and a half, we figured the time was right to take an extended international vacation without her. We’ll be heading to the Mediterranean for a 10 day cruise on Seabourn this fall, […]
Where Should My Baby or Toddler Sleep On Our Travels?
One of the most perplexing questions of travel with babies, toddlers, and young kids is where to put them to bed at night. There are a variety of options, none of which are as ideal as your child’s own crib in a quiet room alone. On the road, however, you have to learn to be flexible. The answer […]
Why I Really Do Love Virgin
As I mentioned earlier this week, my family traveled on Virgin America from SFO to JFK and back last weekend for a family wedding. My daughter had the chance to tell Sir Richard Branson himself aboard this flight: “I love Virgin!” And sure enough, I’m happy to report that we do indeed love Virgin after […]
Virgin America: My Very Own Sir Richard Encounter!

Interviews with Traveling Moms: Me!

Since my daughter is a big fan of “Lightening A’Queen” (as she calls him), we were excited to explore the new Cars Land attractions in the California Adventure Park. The only […]
“The Flight from Heck”
If you are a parent who has traveled with a young child, you have probably had one: THE FLIGHT FROM H–L! (Since this is a family-friendly blog, I’ll avoid the more colorful description, but you get the picture). This is the flight that you look back on and cry, cringe, or perhaps laugh hysterically because […]
Favorite Toddler Travel Gear
One of the hardest things about traveling with kids is lugging all the gear! I’ve spend many hours of my life the past few years trying to find innovative and efficient products that make traveling with little ones easier. Here’s a roundup of a few of my favorite products for toddler travel. (Trips With […]
Disneyland: Three Kids, Three Days
It was inevitable that my continuous blog posting would be interrupted by my day job, so my apologies for the last few weeks of radio silence. Hope it won’t happen again any time soon! The good news is that I ended my rough work period with a long weekend trip to Disneyland last weekend! This […]
