Thanks to the pandemic, it has been 18 months since we last went on holiday overseas, and we definitely made the right choice of hotel to reintroduce ourselves into the world of travel with. To be perfectly honest, we’re usually quantity over quality travellers, preferring to take more frequent and longer trips in budget-friendly hotels.Continue reading “Hotel Review: Insotel Cala Mandia Resort and Spa, Mallorca”

Riding Ponies at Rancho Cala Mandia
I’m a big fan of supporting/promoting small businesses, and we stumbled across this one when we were exploring Cala Mandia (the village we were staying in in Mallorca). Located down a narrow dirt track behind our hotel, the ranch is home to 3 ponies, 16 horses, and a gorgeous elderly donkey. In the mornings, betweenContinue reading “Riding Ponies at Rancho Cala Mandia”
Visiting the Drach Caves and Porto Cristo in Mallorca: Fun For All The Family
One of the biggest and most famous attractions in Mallorca are the Drach Caves. Whenever a local asked what we were planning to see or do during our stay, they all told us we would regret not seeing their famous caves: and they were right! Beautiful, enormous, awe-inspiring…it would be easy to run out ofContinue reading “Visiting the Drach Caves and Porto Cristo in Mallorca: Fun For All The Family”
Flying with Kids During the Coronavirus Pandemic (Our Flight to Mallorca)
Last week we took our first overseas trip since the coronavirus pandemic began. As frequent flyers, we love being in the airport, but this trip felt very different. Because we didn’t know what to expect, I was actually feeling pretty nervous about flying with the kids (and flying at all, to be honest!). With thatContinue reading “Flying with Kids During the Coronavirus Pandemic (Our Flight to Mallorca)”
Practical Tips: The Medical Kit We Take on Every Holiday with Kids
It’s not very exciting (it’s certainly not as exciting as choosing which kaftans and earrings to take, which is my favourite pre-holiday pastime) but before we go on any holiday, particularly a holiday overseas, I always check that my medical supply kit is fully loaded. So many basic medicines, such as paracetamol and ibuprofen, areContinue reading “Practical Tips: The Medical Kit We Take on Every Holiday with Kids”
Three Days in London: A Whirlwind Itinerary for Travelling with Kids
We have just returned from a whirlwind three day trip to London: we clocked up just over 20,000 steps a day, crammed in so many activities that Boy8 said that his ‘London bucketlist was complete’ and munched on more calories than I’m prepared to calculate. Mr MumTravel and I lived in London before we hadContinue reading “Three Days in London: A Whirlwind Itinerary for Travelling with Kids”
Review: A Family Day Out to Legoland Windsor, Summer 2021
I have a love/hate relationship with Legoland Windsor, considering it both the best and the worst of British theme parks: and much of that has to do with how busy the park is on the day you visit! The mini land is exceptional, a place we could happily get lost for hours. Regardless of howContinue reading “Review: A Family Day Out to Legoland Windsor, Summer 2021”
Free School Holiday Activities in Norwich and Norfolk
The long stretch of the school holidays are just a week away, and parents up and down the country are already beginning to panic about how they’re going to entertain the kids! This year our already-lengthy six week holiday is actually a seven week holiday. We’re planning to spend two of those weeks in KosContinue reading “Free School Holiday Activities in Norwich and Norfolk”
Challenge Woods at The Nest: A New Adventure in Norwich
Another new adventure for us, and another local adventure too. The Challenge Woods is based at The Nest, which is the Norwich City Football Club Community Hub. Friends of ours had visited, and raved about what a fun (and affordable) experience it was, so we decided to give it a go! The Nest’s Challenge WoodContinue reading “Challenge Woods at The Nest: A New Adventure in Norwich”
An Update on Disneyland Paris For Annual Pass Holders
By far the most popular post I have written has been ‘The Benefits of Having a Disneyland Paris Annual Pass (and Why we got Them)’ which attracts tonnes of traffic every week. Sadly, this traffic is making me feel guilty because, since the Disneyland Paris park reopened earlier this month, a lot of the informationContinue reading “An Update on Disneyland Paris For Annual Pass Holders”
