It’s the end of May 2018 and I’m well behind on updating the blog. One of my 2018 resolutions is to get caught up, and needless to say, I haven’t been faring well… That doesn’t mean we haven’t been traveling, through. As a family over the past year, we traveled to Connecticut (a few times), … More A Carolina Wedding and Birthday
A full 15 months and a handful of incredible trips have passed by since my last post, but I’m committed to getting back on track in 2018, and this past weekend provided just the chance.

There were no direct Hong Kong-São … More Ihla Bela – Muita Bela

Instead, we just had a new city to explore and two little girls to take to Disneyland. Arriving in Hong Kong feels a lot like landing at globalization’s epicenter. The … More Hong Kong: The Center of the World
