You never know what you’re gonna get when you reserve a crib at a hotel or Airbnb. We’ve had cribs and playards that were either too small or too soft and unsafe (so much so that we left early!). My advice for what it’s worth: make sure you have a back-up plan or bring your …
We just returned from three days of Christmas rides, lights and delights in Vienna, and I am officially drinkin’ the Christmas market ‘Kool-Aid’ (or Glühwein in this case). In this itinerary, we visited a market that’s been named the most beautiful market in the world! If you’re ready to tick off a big bucket list …

We had a wet n’ wild blast at Atlantis Aquaventure during our stay at the amazing family resort in Dubai – Atlantis the Palm. We all can’t wait to go back to one of the biggest water parks in the world for more water coasters and body slides. It even holds a Guinness World Record …
Every hour that passed on our 16-hour flight from SFO to Dubai, the stakes became higher and higher for Atlantis Dubai to measure up. Not only did it exceed our expectations, but we loved it so much that I’d do that flight again in a heartbeat and not even leave the resort (no offense Dubai!). …
