Tomorrow my interview on the Expats Blog will be live so be sure to check it out, it was before I was sick so there’s funny in there :)… But today, I am sharing some budget friendly tourist ideas for seeing New York City.
Barcelona -Exploring Montijuic
On our second day in Barcelona, we decided to visit Monitjuic. We discovered a cable car on the first day which goes all the way up from the pier but that was too busy and only takes cash. How dumb is that? Why be a tourist attraction that only take cash? Especially when it’s almost 100 euros for 4 people. Anyway, …
I’m Not Changing Much, Just Turning Slightly….
As with all things fluid, I find my direction changing again ever so slightly. When I started this blog I was hell bent on imparting all the knowledge I had on raising kids. I was always getting compliments on how well behaved our kids were and asked how we did it. The King was encouraging me to write a book. …
Madrid by Iphone and the train to Barcelona…
We spent a couple of days looking around Madrid while the King did the business. It rained the whole time but we still enjoyed the sites. The kids even tried Spanish McDonald’s.. verdict? It’s the same.
Where My Kid Clears the Plane… and not in a Good Way
I think I’ve mentioned before, Miss Gremlin has sketchy personal hygiene at best. I try, I really do but she’s just a grub. As these things often go we were on the plane, nicely settled in… but then I could smell someone’s feet. The stench wasn’t too bad but it was starting to waft in our direction. That creepy foul …
Conquering Jetlag
How do you get over jetlag quickly? Do you just sleep when your body wants to? Or do you force yourself to adjust to local time immediately? For me it’s a combination of both. I find travelling with the clock is easier than travelling against it. Whenever I travel it’s usually over several time zones, therefore the adjustment is bigger. They say that it …
Our Trip comes to an End
On Tuesday morning we board the plane for the long trip home. It’s been an awesome visit to Australia this time, we’ve packed so much in. We’ve seen family, friends and done farm stuff and had some exciting new experiences with the kids. They’ve connected more with their cousins and Aunts and Uncles, who were quite impressed with how they …
Continuing Kids Adventures
UPDATED- Back on the farm from the city. The kids had an absolute blast with their cousins. It’s this type of thing I miss for them, they don’t miss it because they’ve never had it but I remember my childhood just like that. The huge family gatherings on a pretty regular basis. All the kids running everywhere. It was a …
The Homeland Awaits….
The searching is over, the stressing, the co-ordinating, the booking has been done ……… Will everyone be happy? I doubt it, there’s always someone looking for more time with us but we only have a few weeks….and we can only be shared so much 🙂 Our trip to the homeland is secured. I always have such trip anxiety. Until I’m …
How To Collect a Kid from the Airport, City Style………
When collecting an unaccompanied minor from the airport, you’ll need to take along a lot of patience. You would think that having Grand Master D fly home on his own would be less hassle all round and I suppose it probably is, but it was rather a long frustrating process. I left home before he even boarded the plane to …
