Kate’s Escapades – “On the news, a family dies”
Print“On the news, a family dies…” That is an actual quote from my then 7-year-old son during a vacation in Arizona. It’s one of my favorite quotes from my family’s vacation quote book. Yep, we actually collect random and ridiculous vacation quotes taken completely out of context, just because we say so many dumb things while traveling together. Reading through them helps us remember fun times and makes us laugh at ourselves. Here’s the story of … Read entire article »

Liz’s rant: Roughing it in a rotel
PrintBy now, I’m sure most of you know that I start my day with Gordon Deal and The Wall Street Journal This Morning every weekday, and I’m not above admitting it.

Betcha Didn’t Know…
PrintBetcha didn’t know…there will soon be a refrigerated beach in Dubai (Yep! The same place I told you about in yesterday’s betcha didn’t know…that has an indoor ski slope.)

Guest Rant – RoadTrip Soundtrack
by Megan McKinnon
PrintRoadTrip Soundtrack Once the weather starts to warm up and the sky is bright blue with big fluffy, Simpson’s-like clouds… that’s when I start to think about vacations. My favorite type of vacation is going anywhere near an ocean, but to me, the most fun part of vacationing is getting there.

Guest Rant – The Magic of Disneyland
by Ryane McKinnon
PrintDisneyland is my favorite place in the world. I go at least once every year, and then spend the rest of the year counting down the days until I can go back again. Whenever I hear of anyone else planning a trip, especially if they have never been to Disneyland before, I get nearly as excited as I would if I were going myself. I love to offer advice on what shows to see, what … Read entire article »
