9 tips for Eating Out with Kids

Eating out is such a treat: no cooking, no dishes, lots of choice.  Eating out with kids is a lovely family bonding opportunity,  giving a chance to be able to just enjoy each other’s company…I’m not talking fast food restaurant, though that does still have a treat element for most of us. Going to a […]

Is a Hostel for a 40 plus, Lone Female?

Is a Hostel for a 40 plus, Lone Female?

I return to the hostel, to my dorm room shared with 5 others, after walking about 10K, exhausted!

Aruba- What’s the Renaissance Resort really like?

As we pulled upto our hotel, the Renaissance Resort in Oranjestad, Aruba the utter disappointment I felt was hard to cloak!

I was tired and found lots of excuses to procrastinate due to my reluctance to move. The whole situation wasn’t  helped by my slower than expected recovery from my op and […]

It’s more fun in the Philippines

Is it really more fun in the Philippines?   Well, that’s certainly what I got to experience last week high above London. What better way to showcase all your country has to offer, than secure one of the best venues in London-  Searcy’s at The Gherkin– and put on the party of all parties: invite […]

Why is there no transparent pricing for car hire?

Why is there no transparent pricing for car hire?

A car gives a lot of flexibility. While we could’ve easily kept busy at our resort- MW San Lucianu– my feet were itchy:  I wanted to see Corsica!  The only real option with 3 kids in tow under my sole supervision and not much time was to hire a car. Avis gave me a 25% […]

Lindos is an old town over 3000 years old situated on the Greek Island of Rhodes.  This historic town is said to be a must see when on Rhodes.   After a couple of days at the lovely Levante Beach resort (which you can read about here), mostly enjoying watersports, I was quite keen to see […]

The Levante Beach Resort, Rhodes a Mark Warner holiday

Stepping off a plane to be hit by warm, humid air in the dark of the night always makes me existed: There are usually adventures ahead. This time was no different. I was travelling with 12 other lovely ladies to Rhodes to get a glimpse at what a Mark Warner holiday is all about. We […]

A postcard…with love: Nieuwpoort, Belgium

My dear Friend, Today we planned to travel, drive and get to our stop over for the night quickly. Instead we ended up on this gorgeous beach in Nieuwpoort, Belgium.
