Simply put, this is how I would describe my time visiting Oahu, Hawaii.
Life is meant for the living and let me tell you that over here they are not afraid of taking risks. Before I get into the best of the best during our visit to Oahu, Hawaii…
A quick note…Oahu is insanely beautiful and there are many great outdoor activities to choose from. However, being that we also wanted some time to relax, enjoy the beach, swimming and some fun pool time with the kids, we did not explore the other Hawaiian islands. But I would definitely recommend at least visiting 2 of them because it is GORGEOUS especially if you’re not planning on coming back anytime soon….lordy lord those are long flights with kids….

”I don’t want to have kids because I want to travel”
This statement could not be any more wrong. Yet, I hear it soooooo often, and it’s the number one thing that gets us nervous when we usually think of traveling with young kids.
Do you squeak like a dolphin whenever you think ”well, I want to travel but….I have young kids”
What’s your story?
Did she tell you this?… scenario number 1
Are you one of those moms that socializes at mommy groups. You know the place where moms happily shares their mom undereye bags stories and secretly compares their child’s motor skills and natural abilities to the other ones. Then, a comment about our childless friends might slip into the conversations because honestly, we can all relate to this subject one way or another.
True story, one mom said that her ”friends without kids” would lovingly look at her kids and say” your kids are soo cute, ahhhh you should have more”. Then she replied: ”why don’t you have some then” , that’s when it happened…”no way, we want to travel, kids aren’t for us….but yours are sooo adorable!” Yep, that answer is becoming a natural pairing like salt & pepper, couples and traveling.
OR did she tell you this? ….scenario number 2
The instructor of the zipline told me that she was engaged. A very fit, petite, funny and late twenties, I’d bungee jump looking kinda women. As soon as she heard that we had left our 2 young kids at the airbnb with my parents so we could do an activity together, like fire burning her toes, she immediately added that ”I’m not ready for kids, I want to travel before any kids”
Yes, traveling before having babies launch out of you is great but don’t fall into the ”i’m doomed to stay at home or only visit relatives and friends” lifestyle if that is not your hearts desire.
Comments closedTraveling with kids can be a wonderful experience if you let go of expectations and carry a well-packed mommy bag.
Malta was not planned. We wanted a quick 2 day getaway from our current stop in Tunisia and Malta hit the mark. However, once we arrived and saw the oh so beautiful views and immediately thought “wow, more people should visit this place!”

This was a first to remember!
I remember being a little girl and whenever we would stay at a hotel with my family, we (the kids) always wanted to go to the top floor “just to see” where the presidential suite or penthouse was located. I remember the feeling going up the elevator and thinking, wow, this is exciting. I would wonder who you needed to be to actually stay in these large rooms. I thought only celebrities, royalty and presidents stayed in these rooms.
So when we were looking for places to stay on our recent trip to Tunisia, Kais wanted to surprise me and book something luxurious. Well it did not disappoint, it was grand, traditional and oh so beautiful that you never wanted to leave. When he said that he had negotiated (he always loves a good deal) the rooftop Presidential suite for one week, I was throughly excited! It reminded me of my childhood. My favourite part was that it had an outdoor pool opened 24 hours, the breakfast was served near our room, we were on the rooftop and the breakfast selection was absolutely delicious!

Good Morning !
As promised, I am adding a second post with more photos of Istanbul for you to see. This city is by far one of my favourite destinations and I have explained the reasons why in my previous post here .
The friendliness, quality service, honesty, amazing prices, one of a kind products and beautiful landscapes was what got us hooked.

This was one of the most beautiful trips I have ever had the chance to experience!
The best part is it was spontaneous and with very little planning. The only thing we booked were the basics such as airplane tickets and hotels.
You know what, once upon a time…before I had kids… I used to buy travel books and research online for hours before going on a vacation about everything such as what to see, where to eat, what activities to do during that time, the festivals, the best views and so on.
Clearly if you are going somewhere far away that you might not visit again, then you really want to see the best of the best or the main attractions.
Well, this Summer we did not stop traveling, I had 3 big trips with only a few weeks or even only 1 week in between so needless to say, I kept everything to a minimum except for my meticulous planning on what to pack (such as putting outfits together to reduce the amount of stuff and buying mini travel size of my favourite products).

[bigletter custom_class=””]As you may be aware from the proliferation of headlines that end in “…and the internet is very upset about it!” the Internet is constantly very upset about various things. Some of those things provoke quite understandable if not righteous upper. Other times though, the internet just seems bored and looking for something to kick around the ol’ Twitter echo chamber.[/bigletter]
