If You Can’t Beat ‘Em
My husband Gaz and I donned our raingear and headed to Nanjing Lu, the main pedestrian thoroughfare and shopping district of Shanghai. Big, bright, neon and modern, much of Shanghai’s architecture resembled a caricature of what someone in the 50s thought “The Future” would look like. Shimmering glass buildings covered in a rainbow of glowing signs flanked the wide walkway. The streets heaved with people, and in the sea of short, black haired … [Read more...]

Going to Rome with Children
Although it always depends of your kids' favorite activities, energy level and interests, the capital of Italy can be a quite rough place to bring children under eight for many reasons.

In fact, this experience can easily overwhelm the younger … [Read more...]

Let me remind you that God supposedly sent Adam to Sri Lanka after his expulsion from heaven, as it was close to what he had left behind. After this visit, I have no reason to doubt this, as Sri Lanka truly is a paradise on earth and I was happy to get a taste of it.

It will be a family vacation they will never forget! First book in at a … [Read more...]
