We’ve been to Castaway Cay twice now. Once on the Disney Wonder, and once on the Disney Fantasy. During our first visit on the Disney Wonder we did everything wrong. One of those things we did wrong? We booked the worst activity on Castaway Cay: The Glass Bottom Boat Scenic Voyage. Talk about awful. ► Ranking: #stinkydiaper Disney Cruise Wonder Port...
Rafting on the Martha Brae River, Rafting on the Martha Brae, River Rafting in Jamaica, Martha Brae, Jamaica, Falmouth, Yah Mon, Disney Cruise, Excursion, Caribbean, traveling with kids, family travel, creating family memories
No, we didn't take our three year old white water rafting, even though that is what comes to mind when we talk about this excursion and everyone’s jaw drops to the floor. Actually, this is better. This is a Caribbean escape, bamboo rafting under a canopy of trees on a warm river made of silk with no distractions.   Bamboo River...
Hyatt Regency, Hyatt Regency Aruba Resort Spa and Casino, Beach, Aruba, Family Hotel, Upscale Hotel, Caribbean Hotel, Diapersonaplane, diapers on a plane, creating family memories, family travel, traveling with kids
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...
Atlantis Resort, Dolphin Cay, Swimming with Dolphins, Wading with Dolphins, Shallow Water Excursion, diapersonaplane, diapers on a plane, public beach, creating family memories, family travel, traveling with kids
The myth of Atlantis is an enigma. Is it the Greek island of Santorini? Is it lost forever and sunken to the depths of the ocean? Is it guarded by the Kraken? This is exactly why it's such an appealing marketing scheme to call a glorified casino by the same name, Atlantis, and pretend like you are going to...
Boat on the Panama Canal
We traveled 44,986 miles in 2019, and finally after a decade of travel are starting to understand the allure of luxury travel. It’s not just about nice accommodations and being pampered, it’s about vacation not feeling like work. When you travel as much as we do, sometimes vacations just feel like a burden. The groceries, the cleaning, the cooking... If you...
The Wave Hotel, Hurricane Maria, Puerto Rico, Vieques, Traveling with Kids, Family Travel
The Wave Hotel in Vieques doesn’t look like much, but it tells a story of brutality and resilience.   Hurricane Maria attacked the Caribbean in September of 2017, and left behind devastation for every single resident on the island. It destroyed businesses, knocked out power, tore trees from the ground, left power lines thrashing about in the streets, stripped rainforests...

► Nap-Time Version: Bananas Beach Bar and Grill gets our family pick for where to eat before your Bioluminescent Bay tour on the island of Vieques.
Bioluminescent Bay with kids, mosquito bay, vieques, puerto rico, abe's snorkeling and bio bay tours, traveling with kids, family travel
Experiencing a Bioluminescent Bay is a like witnessing a fairy tale come to life. Magic flows straight from your fingertips and metamorphoses into a million twinkling stars submerged underwater. Our Vieques Bio Bay Tour was the night we saw the stars turn upside down. Luminary creatures, called dinoflagellates, are contained by the high protein natural barrier of the mangrove...
Black Sand Beach, Playa Negra, Vieques, Magnetic Beach, Puerto Rico, family travel, traveling with kids
There is no telltale sign of a beautiful oasis hidden on the other side of a dense jungle, a silky soft black sand beach in Puerto Rico except for an itty bitty wooden sign off the side of the road with a small hand drawn arrow pointing towards a narrow staircase In fact, it’s quite likely if you don’t know...
Restaurante El Hamburguer, Hamburgers by the beach, Escambron Beach, Hamburgers in Puerto Rico, traveling with kids, family travel
Much like Los Pinos Café, Restaurante El Hamburguer comes highly recommended by locals in San Juan. It is within walking distance to the best family beach and not too far from Old Town San Juan. The restaurant doesn’t look like much, and the food is not entirely picturesque; in fact, when they brought out our order with the onions...
