I spent hours going through websites trying to work out which were the best rides to Fast Pass at Walt Disney world, Florida. I spent an equal length of time looking at videos of the rides at all of the Disney parks. How much research did I do before we went to Universal Orlando theme […]
We had a wonderful holiday to Gran Canaria and we fitted in lots of days out while we were there. After some research before the trip and while we were there I have compiled a list of my Top 12 things to do with kids in Gran Canaria. If you are planning a trip to […]
You may or may not know that we won a competition to Lapland this year with Santa’s Lapland. My son baked some cupcakes for Santa and they received the most amount of likes on Facebook. We were thrilled and stunned to win and completely over the moon. It had been not only been one of […]
The influencer break that we won through Santa’s Lapland was a 3 Day Aurora break which involved a 2-night stay at Santa’s Star Arctic Hotel. This is a new package for 2018. You can find out more about the hotel including its facilities and accommodation in my review post – Santa’s Star Arctic Hotel in […]
When we were staying in Puerto Rico, Gran Canaria we saw quite a few glass bottom boats going in and out of the harbour. Then when we went to stay in the Puerto De Mogán area we again saw one of the glass bottom boats stop here so we decided to have a trip on one. […]
The Doge’s Palace in Venice costs quite a fair bit to get in. Is it worth it? Read on for my review. I remember going to Doge’s Palace as a child and being wowed by the gold and painted ceilings. I don’t remember crossing the Bridge of Sighs, nor do I remember the prison. But I do […]
I had this plan to stay onsite for the duration of our time at Walt Disney World in Florida. My husband, however, had other ideas. It took a fair amount of persuading to convince me that we also needed some time spent off-site. We spent the first two nights of our holiday on-site at Animal […]

It is a masonry fort and it’s the oldest in the continental U.S. Construction began back in 1672 and it was designed by the Spanish engineer Ignacio Daza. The British briefly gained control of the fort and […]
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 […]
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), […]
