American Tourister Colora Review #packmorefun
Two weeks ago, I attended Disney’s Social Media Moms Celebration, and before our trip, I received a surprise in the mail – a 20 inch raspberry suitcase from the American Tourister Colora collection. All of the conference attendees received the same sized suitcase – in either raspberry, lime green, or orange. The American Tourister Colora [...]

Summer Experiences and Savings in the Cayman Islands
Last year, my daughter and I visited the Cayman Islands on a press trip, and we had such a great time. I wouldn’t normally think of traveling to the Caribbean in the summer, but the rates are lower and the weather is just perfect. I definitely hope to return to the Caymans again soon – [...]
Marco Island Restaurants: Where to Eat
Although our hotel suite at the Marco Beach Ocean Resort had a kitchen, we ate all of our lunches and dinners at restaurants or on the beach. I had a difficult time finding information about family- friendly Marco Island restaurants, so I spent quite a bit of time asking for recommendations on Twitter and using [...]

Shipping Up to Boston
See that cute polka-dot blanket on my daughter on the photo above? It ended the evening in a blue Jetblue trash bag, covered in vomit. I’ll backtrack. Our trip to Marco Island started with a flight delay. We were already going to arrive late – after 10pm at the Fort Myers airport, about an hour [...]
Stowe Mountain Lodge Deals This Summer
Last year, we did a review of Stowe Mountain Lodge, a luxurious, kid-friendly resort located in Stowe, Vermont. My kids loved it so much that they hid behind the curtains when we were ready to leave. If you are thinking of taking a trip to Stowe this summer, Stowe Mountain Lodge is offering some great [...]
When What You See ISN’T What You Get
Travelers these days have so many resources to review before booking a vacation. In the past, it was all about word of mouth, travel agents, and brochures, but now we have websites, blogs, online reviews, and photo streams. It’s easier than ever to find out if the place you are planning to visit is as [...]
Spring and Summer Deals at the San Diego Omni
Back in 2011, I traveled to the city of San Diego for the first time for BlogHer ’11. Although I’d heard about the fabulous, near-perfect San Diego weather, I really didn’t know what the actual city would be like. I was pleasantly surprised, and since then, have been wanting to find the right time to [...]
