It has been three years since my last blog. Fear not, I have not given up on traveling with my precious ones just yet, I just took some time out to have some undocumented crazies with them. We decided to have some “normal” family holidays, the sort where one day is as easily predictable as the other- fly to destination, stay, visit, eat, walk around and fly back.
