The Gift of Giving During the Holidays

Posted on December 19, 2019 by Lesley | 0 Comments

It’s that time of year that most kids are on their best behavior because they know that Santa is watching and they want to receive gifts for Christmas other than a lump of coal. I didn’t want Athena to be on her best behavior because she was expecting more gifts. I wanted to teach her the gift of giving, especially…

Flying at SkyVenture Montreal

Posted on June 18, 2018 by Lesley | 0 Comments

Have you ever had a dream where you’re flying and it feels so unobstructed, freeing, and beautiful? I’ve had that dream since I was a child and yesterday it became a reality at SkyVenture Montreal. We defied the law of gravity in an indoor freefall simulator. From the minute I entered the SkyVenture Montreal simulator, I was overcome with pure…

Extravagance in The Tree Tops at Secrets On The Lake

Posted on April 27, 2017 by Peter Bateman | 0 Comments

I find it hard to compromise when I travel; I often find myself forgoing the indulgent hotels in favor of the gritty hostel, campsite, or staying with locals. It’s not about saving money; it’s about getting to know somewhere (It’s also about saving money). Sometimes that can be difficult curled up in your duck feather duvet, sipping on tiny bottles…

2016 Bucket List

Posted on January 8, 2016 by Lesley | 20 Comments

After a wild 2015 of trekking gorillas and chimpanzees, searching for polar bears, taking selfies with penguins, swimming with whale sharks, and diving with great white sharks, I didn’t know what to focus on for my 2016 bucket list. I want to continue exploring the world and experiencing new countries and cultures, but I want to spent more time with…

Top 6 Bucket List Resorts for Families with Toddlers

Posted on June 2, 2015 by Lesley | 44 Comments

I learned a valuable travel lesson now that I have a toddler. “Family-friendly” doesn’t always include toddlers! Travel with children to some luxury resort destinations and you get the feeling that kids are an afterthought. Childcare and babysitting services can be non-existent or grossly overpriced and amenities and services are solely focused on adults. To help you make the most of…
