Our fun family trip to Lithuania and Latvia took an unexpected turn when just as we were finishing up our week of camping in the Curonian Spit, our 5-year-old daughter began complaining of very painful sores on the insides of her thighs. For a few days prior, we had been trying to keep them clean and covered with bandages but to no avail. On the last day of the Lithuanian leg and as we were on our way to Latvia, Samantha was in so much pain and discomfort that we decided to stop in Klaipeda and find a hospital to...

I continued my trip through the Caribbean with a final and longest leg of the trip which was 1 week in Guadeloupe.

The journey for this part of the trip started with me going to Ferry terminal in Dominica to get the ferry to Guadeloupe. As appose to the last ferry that I took this one was a lot...

This post is a bit after it happened, so bear with me when it comes to some of the details.
Last summer we decided to take the kids on a camping trip to Germany that would allow us to go to Europa Park but also to do a few other things in the area. I spent some time finding a camping site that would be able to take our huge family tent, the dog, be in a good location for ironman training and not too far from Europa Park.
We settled on the great campsite Campingpark...

For Christmas 2021 we gave the kids 4 options to chose from for the family holiday. Christmas in Lapland with Santa, Skiing in Austria, a week with the Grand parents or Christmas in Egypt with Pyramids and Mummies. Guess what they chose, much to my own delight?
Jump to conclusions of trip ->
So, the planning for Egypt began. We have travelled in a number of MENA countries and knowing some of the difficulties with these places we decided to book a private package trip, to still have some control over the travel plans but to have someone else...

Recently we flew from Geneva to Malaysia with Etihad and were a bit disappointed with our experience.
We expected a lot more from the middle east carrier as our experiences with Emirates and Qatar have always been very good.
So we chose Etihad this time based on price, as we were flying for Christmas and New Year the prices on all airlines were quite high and so when we found a good price on Etihad we thought we would take it.
We did not think before hand that Etihad was a budget airline but some of their practices seem to...

I would suggest going and getting yourself a cup of tea and some biscuits, as this is going to be a long one.
Way back at the start of 2018 we decided to put together a Kilimanjaro trip and started recruiting friends for this idea and looking into the logistics behind it.
You have many options when you look into a trip up Kilimanjaro. You can do it all yourself (expensive and guide still required from what I understand) or go with one of the many tour companies who are both foreign and local.
We had took the advice from...
