Renting a car in Costa Rica is the biggest hassle, and the biggest expense (excuse my superlatives) of anywhere in the world, but if you don't get a car you will regret it. Exploring the countryside at your own pace, and at your own leisure affords you an experience of a lifetime. We happened upon rice terraces, banana and...
The JR trains, or Japan Railway East Company, in Japan are incredible. The network of trains that go in every direction, crisscrossing and weaving with the utmost fluidity, are remarkable. Take the opportunity to walk around the city, and take an elevated crosswalk that crosses above them. You’ll see upwards of 10 lines working their magic. (Even if it...
Our family trip to Norway was one of those standby adventures gone wrong, but one we probably should have known better to anticipate. I was stressed for weeks leading up to this vacation. We had three flights to take after disembarking the Disney Wonder cruise ship, and making our way to our Christmas destination in Norway. That meant three...
Scandinavian Airlines, SAS Airlines, flies throughout Denmark, Sweden and Norway to 1300 destinations all across Europe. Their slogan, “We Are Travelers” is fitting as Scandinavians travel an average of five times a year throughout the three countries listed above! It was also fitting for our particular family as we are not only travelers, but have Scandinavian ancestry. Everything comes...
Have you ever wanted to fly on a buddy pass? It's cheap, but it comes with a cost. Personally, I love the thrill of flying standby. But if there is one thing you need to know about flying on a buddy pass: it's not for the faint of heart.
When you fly standby you never know if you’ll get...
We are hard on our luggage. I’m talking babies use them for teething, toddlers ride on them like scooters, they serve as toys during “going on vacation” play time, and then on top of all that, we travel a lot. I’m talking at least once a month, and like everyone else on the planet we love not checking a...
Why visit one island paradise when you can visit three or more with Vieques Ferry? All you need is $2 and 20 minutes! The islands of Puerto Rico consist of the main island, Vieques, and Culebra and it couldn’t be easier, or cheaper, to navigate between them.

Japan Airlines just announced their latest perk when it comes to choosing where you want to sit on your next flight: Baby Free Zones. Now, when a parent books a flight with a lap infant, a child icon will be placed on the seat map as a warning for all those dreading an encounter with a small human.

Gabriel has been promising to eat the Korean delicacy silk pupae snack, also known as beondegi, since we first arrived in South Korea. Today, was that day!
In fact, not only did Gabriel eat bugs in South Korea, but each one of our kids were up for the challenge as well.
We are going to share with you why you would...
Like nearly every travel day for us, our trip to Lotte World with kids was mostly a disaster.
But despite our natural tendencies to make poor choices, go as cheap as possible, wake up late, and not plan in advance, we truly had an amazing day at Lotte World with Kids.
This is everything you need to know about the World's...
