Last time we flew, my son held onto a little plane that was from the Disney movie “Planes.” There is something comforting about holding a plane while you are in a plane, and that’s why KLM has launched Bluey last November to appeal to its tiniest travelers. This sprightly little plane (think Thomas the Tank Engine but […]

New York City has the largest St. Patrick’s Day Parade in the world, even bigger than Dublin. Our parade is also the oldest in the world, as the first proud group marched in 1762, 14 years before the Declaration of Independence was signed. It was easy for me to get into the spirit of St. […]

Ten years ago, I had a fabulous honeymoon on Maui and the Big Island. And yet when my friend asked for recommendations on what to buy as a wedding gift for a couple who will be taking a Hawaiian honeymoon, all I could think of was snorkel gear. We did bring our own snorkel gear […]

I’ve always wanted to visit Singapore, so I was very excited by this list of what to do I only had 24 hours there. Frequently, I find myself without a lot of time to explore a destination, and this is an excellent guest post of the greatest hits of Singapore. Singapore is one of the […]

Were you among the 1 million people who filled Times Square to celebrate the arrival of 2015? I sure wasn’t and I had no desire to be. Freezing cold, no bathrooms and packed like a can of festive, light-up sunglasses-wearing sardines? No thanks. I was about three miles away at a friend’s family-friendly New Year’s […]

In a few days, I’ll be flying for the first time with two children! It will be the baby’s first flight. Sure I’m a seasoned traveler, but I’d be lying to say I wasn’t a little nervous. The flight is the least of what I’m worried about. I’m concerned about the hassle of packing, leaving […]

I had a fantastic time in Edinburgh in August 2010, so I was excited to get this guest post about exploring the city on the cheap. It brought back such special memories. I do wish I had made that hike to Arthur’s Seat though. Bonnie Edinburgh is a thriving Scottish city that’s just made for sightseeing on a […]

It was an amazing evening of spätzle, strudel and no shortage of Gemütlichkeit. In other words, it was a true Austrian dinner party, starting with Grüner Veltliner Sekt poured into Riedel glassware to accompany foie-gras cones and Wiener Schnitzel canapés and ending with Zweigelt Eiswein and Sacher Torte, the legendary chocolate cake from Hotel Sacher in Vienna. We sat around a table […]

Traveling with picky eaters (like my toddler and my husband) means that I always have to worry about whether there will be something for them to eat. So while I love Moroccan food, I’d be a little nervous to go to Morocco because they might go hungry. Amanda Mouttaki, an American expat who lives Marrakech, Morocco […]

I’m terrible at sleeping on planes, which is ironic because I’m a champion napper. So when I found that a new full-flat seat developed by Dutch design icon Hella Jongerius is the centrepiece of KLM’s new World Business Class, I was pretty excited. (The Business Class of the whole KLM Boeing 747 fleet will be […]
