What to Pack When Traveling to Europe with a Toddler

Posted on September 14, 2014 by Lesley | 0 Comments

I’d be lying if I said our recent 12 day trip to Germany was easy. It wasn’t. Traveling to Europe with a toddler can be extremely difficult. Athena, my rambunctious toddler, cried a lot. She was tired for the first two days of the trip and rarely slept when she should, leaving me exhausted and with only a couple hours sleep…

The Best Alternative to Caribbean Resorts – Kinderhotel‏ Oberjoch

Posted on September 2, 2014 by Lesley | 3 Comments

Most American families opt for all-inclusive, Caribbean resorts for family vacation. It’s easy and provides tons of options for all family members. Naively, I assumed it was the only legitimate option as well, but I recently discovered Kinderhotel Oberjoch in Germany. It’s the most toddler-friendly, all-inclusive property that I’ve visited and the best alternative to all-inclusive, Caribbean resorts. If you want…

What bucket list activities in Germany should you include when traveling with your family, especially young children though?

Best Toddler Moment of the Germany Trip – Affenberg Salem

Posted on August 28, 2014 by Lesley | 1 Comments

The weather in Germany, with rain showers daily, hasn’t been ideal for touring. Try standing at a bus station with a soaking wet toddler and explaining that the bus still won’t be here for 20 minutes and you’ll understand. When I saw Affenberg Salem, a trail that leads through the home area of about 200 monkeys, on our schedule, I…

August Travels Are Looking Good – Panama & Germany in One Month

Posted on August 11, 2014 by Lesley | 1 Comments

It’s no secret that I’d live out of a suitcase if it meant that I could travel more. (Ok, ok… you got me. I do live out of a suitcase. It’s always packed and I do travel all the time.) This month I’m visiting two new countries and making more than a dozen of my bucket list dreams a reality….

Oktoberfest in Munich

Posted on September 30, 2013 by Jaspa | 1 Comments

Like Oktoberfest itself, this post is not all about beer or drinking! As the main character in a series of adventure novels originally aimed at juvenile readers, I thought I should make that clear, right off the bat. I know it hardly counts as ‘adventure travel’, but attending Oktoberfest in Munich is nonetheless a prominent feature on a lot of…
