The number of US States we've visited is pretty meagre by a lot of travellers' standards, I guess that's common for those of us based in Australia and the UK. I believe it’s something we should all try and put right! We adored our USA road trip in 2014, we discovered that the United States is a country of enormous diversity and that each State holds unique experiences and … [Read more...]

We left home with a vague plan to backpack our way around Asia for as many years as possible, with two kids and a tight budget. Well, plans change, life happens and the universe sometimes points you in directions you never anticipated. We never expected to take a cruise, ever, let alone a bargain trans Atlantic cruise on a brand new ship that would deposit us in New York … [Read more...]

It seems so long ago now! On our first night in Lancaster county PA, in some nondescript but friendly motel, we were just settling down for the night when we hear a bellow from the next room: "Get yourself in that tub or I'll be opening a can of Whoop-Ass on y'all!" We didn't think people really said that. But they do and now so do I, with full Southern accent. The … [Read more...]

Let's rewind 2 months to our last night in the Americas. Dinner on Key Largo was a treat for us, a farewell to Florida, a state we love on so many levels and the last night of our Canada to the Keys road trip before we boarded our cruise back to Europe. That one meal outlived all of our expectations, it was a gorgeous evening, the sun was setting, there was music, wine, Key … [Read more...]

Since I was a kid watching wildlife shows on TV, I've wanted to take an airboat ride in the Everglades, yet for some reason, despite visiting Florida before, I'd never done it. We usually head to Florida for the Disney parks, we've been 3 times now and loved every visit, ( check out how we visited all 4 parks in 1 day or read our tips on beating the queues) but this … [Read more...]

Much as we all love theme parks, most families need to find a few other things to do in Orlando for kids during their Florida holiday. One of our family favourites, for some non-theme-park fun, is Green Meadows Petting Farm. It's a welcome antidote to the hectic days of chasing around the parks and a lovely way for city kids to get up close and personal with a whole farmyard … [Read more...]

We set ourselves a challenge while we were in Orlando, Florida. Visiting four Disney parks in one day. Not only that, we wanted to ride all of the biggest and best rides. Do you think it's possible? If you're wondering if the queues will make visiting 4 parks in one day impossible, don't. See my post on beating the queues at Disney. Here's how we got on. Park 1. … [Read more...]

Yesterday I pulled out all of my road trip with kids ninja skills for a 10 hour journey from Mississippi to Florida. For at least 9 of those hours we were sitting in a car. That's me, my husband and two boys, aged 9 and 7. We've been road tripping with the kids, all over the USA for around a month now, heading from frozen Niagara Falls to the Florida Keys. My road … [Read more...]

We've just spent an amazing few days in New Orleans at Mardi Gras and, honestly, we spent a lot of that time eating. In our whole 1 month USA road trip, I think New Orleans offered us the best food, even on our moderate budget. We did wonder a little, where to eat out in New Orleans with kids, because we ran into quite a few places where children weren't allowed. Signs … [Read more...]

New Orleans Mardi Gras just happened to us by accident. We're almost at the end of our 1 month USA road trip, New Orleans is our final destination, one I'd picked, I'd always wanted to see the Big Easy. As we left Orlando a few days ago we started having a quick look online for accommodation in New Orleans. We couldn't see anything for under $100, even out of town. This … [Read more...]
