For the past two years, we have taken a mini-break to Bournemouth to see family. Both times we have stayed at the Highcliff Marriott Bournemouth. It’s a great location and a good and comfortable hotel. Please read on for my review of the Highcliff Hotel. It is currently rated very well on Booking.com with an […]
England doesn’t get much further north than Carlisle in the west and Newcastle in the east. Aside from being along the England/Scotland border, there are quite a few great things to do along this route. Why not consider a Hadrian’s Wall walk which you can find out even more about here? Here’s my list of […]
I wanted to fit in as many great meals into our Disney/Florida holiday as possible. After quite a lot of research into restaurants, I decided that a themed restaurant was something I really wanted to experience. It was a tough choice between the Rainforest café and T-Rex Café both at Disney Springs. I had a […]
Is a vacation to Mexico on your bucket list? If not this post may well inspire you to not only add it to your list but boost it up to ‘must do soon’. Mexico is a large country some two million square kilometres in size. It’s famous for its food, purpose-built resorts, history including Mayan […]
On our bucket list holiday to London, I wanted our son to experience the ultimate places to eat in London. This, of course, had to include a meal at Hard Rock Cafe. There are two in London, one at Piccadilly and the other located at Old Park Lane. Hard Rock Cafe on Old Park Lane […]
I created our family bucket list back in 2016. It came about because of a heartbreaking reality check. Life really should be for living and we really need to try to enjoy it as much as we can. For me, I love travelling and going out for the day. I’m not one for sitting still. […]
We spent around 12 years of our lives living within a one-hour drive of Puy Du Fou. It is situated near Les Epesses in the Vendée region of mid-west France. Over those years, we visited many time,s and from those visits, we learnt many things about how to maximise a visit to this fabulous theme […]
I was quite glad it was only myself and my son for this meal as it was not cheap! The Coral Reef restaurant is located within the Epcot theme park which is part of the Walt Disney World Resort. It is described as unique/themed dining which it was. So was it worth the money? Read […]
As our son is getting older I am increasingly thinking about where to go on holiday that will provide us with some great family adventures. There’s so much more to a family holiday than sitting on a beach. Kids love to be active so why not embrace this and find them things to do that […]
Lombard’s Seafood Grille is located within Universal Studios Park in Florida. You will need a park entry ticket to be able to eat at this restaurant. We liked it so much that we ate there twice, I will include a review of our two meals at Lombard’s below. It is also one of the very […]
We booked a last-minute holiday to Florida, including Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, the Florida Keys, the Everglades and so much more. We often book holidays last minute. To me, there’s only one way to get away with this all so last-minute and that’s by being organised. But being organised for Florida also takes time. […]
The Cowfish Sushi Burger Bar was another restaurant that I kept seeing great recommendations for. It is located on Universal’s City Walk and it’s another of the few restaurants there where you can reserve a table in advance. Considering its popularity with people we were surprised to see it often looking empty when we walked […]
