Family Adventures and Travels
Earlier this month, we took a memorable trip to Orlando, Florida where we visited Magic Kingdom, Epcot and Universal’s Islands of Adventure – and plenty in between! It was wonderful to see Little T enjoying his first Disney experience and it also exceeded our expectations to the point that we’re already speaking about our next…
Last May, we visited Granada, a wonderful place for a city break located in the vibrant region of Andalusia in southern Spain. The region was under Moorish rule from the 8th to 15th centuries, and Granada is known for its well-preserved examples of architecture dating back to that period – in particular its UNESCO World…
For the first week of May, I brought Little T to visit my in-laws in Fano, Italy, while Mr. G was in Toronto for a work trip. I realised that I haven’t posted a Snapshots from Fano post since last summer, despite having been back four times since then, so I’ve put together some photos…
In early March, we traveled to Prague for a long weekend staying at the Four Seasons within a short walk of many of the city’s attractions.

The tranquil town of Kailua on Oahu’s Windward coast is only a 30 minute drive from Honolulu across the scenic Koolau mountain range, yet it feels a world away from the bustling city. During our 2009 trip to Oahu, we were enamored with Kailua’s beaches and we headed back to Kailua Beach Park again the day after…
A year after his first dip in the Adriatic Sea, sitting on my lap and splashing the water around him, Little T returned to the beach at Fano a flurry of activity, running along the shore, filling up his water pail, shoveling sand and venturing out into the shallow water to practice swimming. Our week…
Today’s post is a throwback to when we discovered that we were expecting Little T! We found out the amazing news one week before our vacation in South Beach which added a special element to our trip, knowing that it would be one of the last before our new addition to the family arrived. We…
