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...

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...
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...

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...

Family Hotel Review of the Howard Johnson Anaheim Hotel and Water Playground: Where the Internet Doesn’t Work and the Rooms Smell Bad
Catherine - 0
The Howard Johnson Anaheim Hotel and Water Playground opened 10 years after Disneyland debuted to the public and was the first good neighbor hotel located in proximity to the park. It’s a five-time winner of TripAdvisor’s Top 25 Hotels for Families in the United States, and claims to be the #9 family hotel in the entire country. A bewildering...

Radisson Blu OSL Airport Family Review: Where to Stay in Oslo When You’re Exhausted and Ready to Give Up
Catherine - 0
Flights didn’t look good departing from Oslo to Amsterdam on December 30 but if nothing else we are risk takers. What do a couple too few seats even mean to a standby traveler? Anything can happen. After all, we made it on a flight from Kirkenes to Oslo that morning when the odds were against us, and not just...

The Happy Ending: Our Family Christmas in Norway Saga Part 3 | Stranded with 3 Children Praying for an Airbnb to Save Christmas
Catherine - 0
Across town, in the opposite direction of the graffiti and promiscuous pictures was where we found our home for Christmas. This darling airbnb, with red cupboards in the kitchen and four single beds laying side by side each other in the bedroom, was perfect for our celebrations. Though we longed to be in Tromsø, we were finally in a...

Airbnb Gone Bad: Our Family Christmas in Norway Saga Part 2 | Stranded in A Stinky Airbnb with 3 Children Praying for Fresh Air
Catherine - 0
We knew it would be an adventure to travel for Christmas, especially through two different climates and with a suitcase full of Christmas presents, but we didn’t quite anticipate everything that could go wrong, would go wrong. On our first leg of the trip from Salt Lake City, Utah to Galveston, Texas one of our bags of luggage was...

Hotel Galvez & Spa | Historic Hotel on the Beach: Family Hotel Review in Galveston, Texas
Catherine - 0
When we see the name Wyndham slapped on a hotel, we are slightly weary of what will be waiting for us on the other end. Ages ago, we attended a Wyndham timeshare presentation, sucked in by the promise of a free stay. Nothing in life is free, and we paid a dear price for that presentation. The sales person...

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...
