Rancho Bernardo Inn offers World Class Golf and SoCal Get-Away
A few weeks ago we were invited to stay Rancho Bernardo Inn and enjoy a round of golf on their gorgeous 18-hold golf course and enjoy their latest creations at the Avant Restaurant (check below for an awesome giveaway courtesy of Rancho Bernardo Inn!). It has been some time since I’ve played golf (like 20 years) but the world-class golf course is geared for all levels. My husband has been playing for many years now and he loves this course. You can read our review on Travel Advisor here. The rooms at Rancho Bernardo are so comfortable with stunning views! Each of their 287 guest rooms and suites…

GET YOUR MOTOR RUNNING… with Kia’s World-Class Vehicles
My wife and I were invited to attend the Kia Exclusive Brand Experience showcasing Kia’s lineup of world-class vehicles down at The Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego. We headed down from Orange County and they definitely treated us like rock-stars! Make no mistake, the crew at Kia are hard at work coming out with some of the safest and coolest cars on the market, but sure know how to have a good time! Once dwelling at the bottom of the J.D. Powers report, this company has turned around their image and quality of cars to become one of the safest cars available and top the JD…

An Awesome and Affordable South African Safari – Addo Elephant Park
The highlight of my family’s one month trip to South Africa this spring was our self-drive safari in Addo Elephant Park. South Africa offers many different types of safaris throughout the country – from luxurious one week safaris to the one-day self-drive ones. Since we travel full-time on a budget, the idea of spending thousands of dollars on a week safari just wasn’t going to happen. We heard that the self-drive tours are still fantastic and at a fraction of the cost – and it was so true! AMAZING!! Since we were traveling along the southern coast of South Africa in an area called The Garden Route, we decided to try…

Save the Date: August 9th AIG Travel #WhereNext Twitter Party!
I am super excited to be working with AIG Travel this month and sharing with you all the many benefits of sustainable travel. Sustainable travel is the socially-responsible way families and solo-travelers are exploring new places. I wrote a piece about sustainable travel here you can check out but basically sustainable travel is about leaving a positive impact on the communities you visit. This could be something as simple as eating at local restaurants to support the business owners (think small businesses) as opposed to your favorite fast food joint to purchasing souvenirs that are handmade by locals opposed to trinkets made just for tourists. Join the…

Comic Con 2016 delivers and then some!
This week I had a chance to sit down with the filmmakers, producer and stars of the upcoming Dream Works Animation movie Trolls Justin Timberlake and Anna Kendrick at Comic Con in San Diego. And when I say sit-down, I mean at a round-table setting within feet of the one and only JT! Yes, I was in heaven. Be sure to check out my post in the coming weeks about this interview and I’ll share some funny stories with you all like when Justin broke out singing Madonna’s “Like a Virgin” for us mom bloggers (we all about died). I can say he was super down-to-earth as was Anna and…
