How To Make the Decision to Open Your Home to Guests
Within our first two years of marriage, Gabriel and I co-managed a small apartment building in Downtown Portland directly next to the Max (local transit train). Our building would literally rattle every time it went by, and our window sills were full of...

What I Learned From My Airbnb Guests
Guest 1:
Our first group of guests was comprised of several members of a family coming to stay for a wedding. At first, communication was poor with these guests. As soon as we received confirmation of...

Family Review of the Hyatt Place Boston/Medford Hotel | Our Family Trip to Boston
Catherine - 0
As card carrying members of the World of Hyatt club we definitely try to choose a Hyatt Hotel when we can. The more we stay at Hyatt, the more we can stay at Hyatt. We chose Hyatt as our card of choice because they were offering a sweet bonus for signing up, and the points transfer point for point...

Where Not to Stay as a Family When Traveling to Iceland: Icelandair Reykjavik Natura Hotel
Catherine - 0
When planning our trip to Iceland we knew we’d be stuck inside for a majority of our time. Between the four hours of daily sunlight, the cold winter weather, and considering the fact that the city shuts down entirely for two full days, we wanted a hotel with a pool that we could take the twins swimming and help...
We didn't know how good we had it. This was our first airbnb experience in Japan, and we didn't fully appreciate the fusion of amenities we were offered. We didn't yet appreciate that traditional Japanese housing offers mats on the floor instead of mattresses, paper for walls, a soaking tub with a bucket instead of a shower, and hand...

Hotel Cheyenne Stay: Our Family Trip to Disneyland Paris, France | Hôtel Cheyenne Stay: notre voyage en famille à Disneyland Paris, France
Catherine - 0
“Boy Howdy Howdy”, is the one thing you’ll have running through your head year after year when you think back on your stay at the Hotel Cheyenne at the Disneyland Paris Resort. It’s like the song that never ends. Now, hear that in your head, and then add a french accent. It even sounds silly in your head. This...
Cancun has never been at the top of our list for places we were even remotely interested in going. Cancun is synonymous with spring break bikinis and extremely poor judgement involving copious amounts of alcohol. When we found Panama Jack's in Cancun we decided to risk it and we took a break from the bitter Utah winter to travel...

What Your Family Can Expect From Your Stateroom & Stateroom Host | The Hardest Working Person on Your Disney Cruise
Catherine - 0
One of the distinguishing characteristics of a Disney cruise is the luxury factor. The grand lobby, the glass elevators, the exquisite foods, the private island… This even extends where most cruises stop: your stateroom. On a Disney cruise your stateroom is one of the largest. Though you won't be spending most of your time here, it makes all the...

Where Our Baby Caught Her Hair on Fire: Family Review of the Kirkenes Scandic Hotel in Norway
Catherine - 0
Nothing happened according to plan this trip to Norway. And I mean that in the most literal sense. When we arrived at the Scandic Hotel, chosen because of how often we’d seen it pop up in search results in Google and we just wanted a sure thing, it was early in the morning after our Hurtigruten cruise. We couldn’t...

Our Family Stay at the Hyatt Regency Aruba Resort Spa and Casino | Idyllic Paradise on the Caribbean Sea
Catherine - 0
We plan all our travels last minute. Part of it is a perk of the job. We get great last minute discounts as part of interline perks. The other part is flight loads. You can’t very well plan everything out not knowing if you’ll even get on a flight where you’ve planned out an intricate vacation. The last part...
