For the first four nights of our nine-night holiday to Gran Canaria, we stayed at The Marina Suites, Puerto Rico 4 star aparthotel. There are many different websites (including their own) that you can book through. We found our best price on Jet2.com After some careful consideration we chose to book half board and we […]
I would absolutely love to go on a cruise. It’s something we’ve not yet done as a family but we really must do soon. I’ve been looking on the internet and there are some really amazing cruise destinations. Not only that but on family-friendly cruise lines. It’s out with the preconceptions of cruises and in […]
Hands up! Who loves Forrest Gump as much as we do? It was an absolute must for us to eat at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. when we were holidaying in Florida this year. It’s actually a chain of restaurants across the USA (there’s even one in London) all themed on the great movie from 1994 […]
For the remaining 5 nights of our holiday to Gran Canaria, we stayed at the large resort the Hotel Cordial Mogan Playa Hotel. When I say large I mean huge. This place was one of the biggest hotels we’ve ever stayed in. Reception alone was the size of most hotels. It was vast and really […]

September-January is a very busy time in our household and we desperately wanted to escape to some winter sun. So we decided upon a bucket list holiday to Gran Canaria. We started looking at getting some winter sun back in late November. Nearly everywhere was thrown into the mix. In the end, short-haul (around 4 hours), […]
As soon as we’d booked our holiday to Iceland I knew that a trip to the Blue Lagoon was going to be a must. It’s so iconic and if you mention Iceland to most people they think of the Blue Lagoon. No bucket list can be without a visit to it. I booked our slot […]
Situated on Goodramgate, a side street up by the historic York Minster you will find Fancy Hank’s bar and kitchen. The restaurant is inspired by food from the southern states of America. We were recently invited to review their food and we were met with a wonderful vibrant restaurant with friendly staff and a great […]
Although we are originally from Ireland, we lived in South Wales for over ten years. It is where our son was born, and we loved our time there. What made South Wales even more magical for us, once our son came along, were all the wonderful castles it has to offer. You are never too […]
We have Christmas at Blenheim Palace listed on our round-up post – Ultimate Christmas Bucket List. We were kindly invited to review the preview event and it was, for us, an ultimate family bucket list experience. It was so utterly beautiful, magical and clever. I hope my review can do it justice because honestly, it has […]
This is not a new bucket list tick for us as we have been on a pirate ship before. It was, however, a considerably more fun family adventure and an improvement on our first pirate ship experience. The Black Raven pirate ship runs from the harbour at St. Augustine in Florida. They run family-orientated and ‘booze’ […]
As Ecotourism is becoming increasingly popular to alleviate our carbon footprints on the world so are volunteer holidays. I often see families taking time out of their holidays to volunteer and help communities with their schools, animal conservation and rescue. There are many different organisations now offering family volunteering holidays. It’s a concept that I […]
