    Alcatraz Island really excites kids visiting San Francisco

    ByEileen Ogintz January 21, 2013July 8, 2021

    When we mentioned San Francisco to our kids Ethan (10) and Hannah (8) they both immediately were excited because it has so much to offer, and mostly, for the chance to go and visit Alcatraz Island.

    Exploring and learning with the kids in San Francisco

    ByEileen Ogintz January 20, 2013July 8, 2021

    Our past trips to San Diego and New York have been made more enjoyable, and more cost-effective by using the great benefits that CityPass offers. Our hope was that our holiday trip to San Francisco would be enhanced by using the CityPass book.

    Welcome to the club ladies – wish there were more of these in ski country

    ByEileen Ogintz January 20, 2013June 29, 2023

    There are also plenty of women’s clinics around the country designed for women to hone their skills, whether they are skiers or snowboarders. I wish every resort had a Ladies’ Club like the one offered at Park City Mountain Resort. All it takes is 2 hours and $60.

    You can find affordable family vacation spots in the Caribbean

    ByEileen Ogintz January 18, 2013July 12, 2021

    Sue and Robin Ricketts started Anguilla’s flourishing villa business—ideal for multigenerational families and now manage some 80 villas on the island from the most luxurious ($1,000,000 a week) to totally affordable (a few thousand). Now they also run the boutique 27-room Anacona where rooms can be as low as $150 a night and all kinds of special programs—tennis, sailing, wellness, biking, yoga, art……

    The Anguilla Youth Sailing Club that teaches local as well as visiting kids to sail (look for programs through the Viceroy Hotel and others) “Kids really rally round the boat racing…we start to teach them at age four,” says Paul Koeniger, who oversees the youth sailing club.

    Exploring African-American history in Washington, D.C., and beyond

    ByEileen Ogintz January 17, 2013July 9, 2021

    This January, of course, also marks the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation and I can’t think of a better time than this winter — February is Black History Month — to explore civil rights in Washington and beyond.

    A day well spent at the stunning new Viceroy Anguilla

    ByEileen Ogintz January 16, 2013July 7, 2021

    We spent the afternoon at the stunning Viceroy Resort down the road from where we are staying that employs 600 people for their 166 rooms. Did I mention the five-bedroom villas that rent for as much as $17,500 a night?

    Time for a little relaxation and indulgence at the CuisinArt Anguilla

    ByEileen Ogintz January 15, 2013June 28, 2023

    At the CuisinArt Resort in Anguila. I indulged in a facial (anti-aging of course) and a soak in the “healing waters” pool that offers a combination, I’m told, of mineral sea salt and fresh water that is supposed to help my aching knee.

    ByEileen Ogintz January 14, 2013July 12, 2021

    We’re here on a girlfriends’ getaway ensconced in a huge three-bedroom villa with its own pool, kitchen, and beach. I’m sitting aside the pool and hear the crashing waves as I write this. Did I mention the mile-long beach?

    There is no better time than the week we celebrate Martin Luther King Day and the 150th Anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation to embrace teachable moments with kids about slavery—no more so than at the Lincoln Memorial and Martin Luther King Memorial in Washington DC.
