Posted by Noemi as Islands, Around The World, Destinations, Nature, Asia, Resorts, Family, Getaways, Travelogger
We just came back from a short summer trip where we discovered a great beach for families. The resort is called Tamaraw Beach Resort and it can be found in the Puerto Galera, off the coast of Batangas in the Philippines. Puerto Galera used to be the destination for many beach lovers until it became overcrowded. That is why we were pleasantly surprised with what awaited us at Tamaraw Beach.
Their accommodations have been designed to suit family needs – the rooms are huge and can fit up to 6 people (at least our room did). They also have family apartments that can fit 10 …

Last Skiing Trip For The Year
Posted by Noemi as Around The World, Destinations, Nature, Tips, Family, Americas, Resorts
For some families, hitting the slopes during the winter period is the best way of bonding together. There is nothing to compare to the adrenaline rush that one experiences going down the slopes and at night, warm, cozy rooms at the lodges are something to look forward to. For these families, the coming of spring could be a disappointment in this respect.
However, there is still a bit of time to sneak in a last skiing trip before the season ends for the year. Here are a few of the ski resorts that stay open till May.

Broadway
If you have extra cash to spare and you like the theater, then Broadway should not be missed. Some say that you have never really seen what a play has to offer unless you’ve seen it in Broadway. This point is debatable but the fact is that a Broadway experience is really something else. Of course, you have to be ready to pay for that experience – tickets can easily cost over a hundred dollars, even for discounted ones! Alternatively, you can pick from New York’s countless theaters if you cannot afford Broadway – don’t fret, many of use can’t! Theaters abound in New York …

The Farther You Go, The Closer You’ll Get
Posted by Noemi as Around The World, Books, Family, Travelogger
Sounds like a movie or book title, doesn’t it? Well, in fact, it is the title of book which contains a collection of written work by well known authors. It is edited by Laura Manske. So why I am writing about this book?
To be honest, I have never really read a book that focuses on family trips or vacations. Of course, I have books (fiction) which may talk about a family going on a trip but nothing like this one. Another confession – I don’t have my own copy of this book yet so I have not read the whole thing but the preview offered by …
