Located in north-western Malaysia, Ipoh was once an overlooked destination used by travellers as a brief stop-off on the way to the Cameron Highlands. However, since the city’s heritage has been gradually restored it has become increasingly popular with visitors who want a taste of old-world Malaysia and has even featured on Lonely Planet’s ‘Best of Asia’ list. Still largely considered off the beaten track Ipoh has retained its authentic … [Read more...]

Italy: 5 Reasons to Visit Lake Garda
Last summer we took a trip to Italy, the first as a family and the first doing this kind of trip. In the past we've enjoyed all-inclusive trips to hotels all over Europe and beyond, but with the girls getting older and not willing to share a room with us, let alone a bed, we looked at different options.

Now I should point out that these are an added extra, … [Read more...]
Norwegian Cruise Line : Video
Cruising as a vacation is booming, with more and more families choosing it as an option. Why? Well I think because of the variety of things on offer, families feel safe and they know their children will have enough on offer to keep them entertained.

Dreaming of America
A good friend of mine, a fellow travel blogger, Alice from Project Wanderlust, is off to America soon with her family on our major eight-week trip. They will be visiting New York, Washington DC, New Jersey, Vegas, LA ... to name a few places. I'm really excited for her … and also just a little bit jealous. I've never been to America. It's been on the top of my bucket list for years, particularly New York, but I've just never got round to … [Read more...]
