    Families can spread out at hotels in Orlando

    ByEileen Ogintz February 24, 2013July 6, 2021

    These days, not only do we want more room to spread out (think two rooms, two bathrooms, two TVS) but we want the experience to be fun. And we don’t want it to cost a bundle either. Did I mention that Disney has just unrolled free Wi-Fi at all of its resorts?

    ByEileen Ogintz February 21, 2013July 10, 2021

    None of us want to wait until summer for some fun in the sun. We all could use some rest and relaxation right about now, whether your family’s idea of vacation heaven is a bluebird sunny day on a ski slope, a blue-sky sunny day on a beach or a hiking trail.

    Carnival needs to step up and restore the trust of traveling families

    ByEileen Ogintz February 15, 2013July 7, 2021

    Carnival really needs to work hard in the days ahead to restore trust. That should start with a public explanation of how this happened and how it intends to prevent a recurrence. But instead, Carnival has so far offered only to refund passengers the cost of their cruise, is busing them home and initially offered them $500 each. That seems to fall short.

    Remembering Those Cozy Cannes Nights

    ByAndy Yemma February 10, 2013November 10, 2025

    Jetlagged, hungry, and in need of a bed, we found our way to our hotel for the night — Chateau de Goville–an old manor in the Norman countryside. I kept saying the château would be Downton Abbey-esque, but it wasn’t until we settled into our room and found a plaque on the wall stating that the Duchess of the Estate had lived (and died!) in this very room nearly seventy years ago that we really felt the chateau’s history.

    It’s Okay Not to Take the Kids on every trip

    ByEileen Ogintz February 10, 2013October 4, 2023

    When you are after an adult’s getaway, you don’t want a lot of kids around to either spoil your tranquility or make you feel guilty. If you wanted to be with kids, you would have brought your own.

    A Pow-Pow Day through the eyes of an 11-year-old!

    ByEileen Ogintz February 8, 2013July 15, 2021

    Snowbasin is more than just a mountain to me, it’s my home. I have many sweet memories of my life on skis here. Like when I first got onto a pair of skis at the age of three.
