Zanzibar. The name rolls of the tongue evoking images of distant lands and foreign climes. How could the island of Zanzibar not be exotic when the name itself is so cool? My children have been begging me to visit the island ever since one of their school friends had a family vacation to Zanzibar. Zanzibar...

Family Fun at Rio’s Carnival Bloco for Children

ny_lon@living1 — Wed, 10 Feb 2016 21:55:46 +0000

The first thing our children noticed at the Banda de Ipanema Kids Bloco was the shaving cream being squirted by gleefully chuckling Brasilian children.

I was a little surprised when I heard our hotel concierge at Hotel Touring say that Bologna is not considered a particularly child-friendly city for tourism. Lots of families from the north of Italy pass through the town in the summer though on their way to the beaches and countryside of the south of Italy....

A Complete Cutefest at a Cat Cafe with Kids

ny_lon@living1 — Fri, 30 Oct 2015 09:10:01 +0000

Tokyo can be overwhelming for anyone. The crowds, the signs, the neon lights, the traffic etc. all add up to a lot of sensory overload. So what do you do when you need to unwind? Heading back to your hotel room is an option (but boring). How about unwinding like many Japanese do? Head to...

Every year, they beg to go to the Cape Cod Inflatable Park during our summer vacation in Martha’s Vineyard. According to them, with its new upgraded inflatables, the park is even more...
