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...
Hyatt Place City Center San Juan, Hotels in Puerto Rico, Family Friendly Hotels San Juan, traveling with kids, family travel
One of the things our family loves about having a branded credit card that rewards you with points to a specific hotel chain is that you always know what to expect. Our family stays at Hyatt Place hotels never disappoint. True, the suspense and adventure of traveling to foreign destination and deciding on an airbnb simply by the inflated...
Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress Resort, family hotel, orlando, florida, walt disney world, vacation, traveling with kids
As a family who has taken annual vacations to Walt Disney World for the past decade, this weekend I actually asked myself: "Why go to Walt Disney World when I can just stay at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress Hotel in Orlando, Florida?" The Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress Resort is the vacation. It’s worth repeating: The Hyatt Regency Grand...
Hyatt House Orlando Universal, Family Hotel, Family Hotel with Kitchen, family travel, traveling with kids, diapers on a plane
And I thought I loved Hyatt Place hotels! On our last trip to Orlando we switched up category hotels and opted for the Hyatt House instead of the Hyatt Place. In fact we booked the brand new Hyatt House Orlando Universal Studios located directly across the street from Universal Studios - and this just may be my new favorite...

Orlando, Hyatt Place, Florida, WDW, Disney, Latin Food, Family travels, traveling with kids, creating family memories
We’ve been visiting Walt Disney World annually since 2010, and in all those years we’ve never once stayed off property. When you stay on property, the magic begins the second you step off the plane into the Orlando airport. Mickey and his Magical Express picks you up and whisks you away to your resort. You stay on a magical...
Hyatt Hospitality Hotels, Hyatt Anaheim, Hyatt Place, Hyatt Credit Card Chase Visa, Diapersonaplane, Diapers on a plane, traveling with kids, family travel
We made a lot of mistakes when we first started traveling. The first mistake we made was thinking we could always come back. We’d forgo doing things because they were either too expensive, or the line was too long, or we couldn’t squeeze it in. Traveling isn’t like going to the mall, or stopping at Target on the way...
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...
Cancun, Family Hotel in Cancun, All Inclusive Resort in Cancun, Mexico, Hotel Zone, Family Hotel in Cancun, diapersonaplane, diapers on a plane, creating family memories, family travel, traveling with kids,
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...
Scandic Hotel, Kirkenes, Breakfast Buffet Scandic, Hair on Fire, Snow, Winter in Norway, Norway, diapersonaplane, Diapers on a plane, creating family memories, family travel, traveling with kids, misadventures flying standby,
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...
