Golf Carts and Baby Turtles, a Great Day on Isla Mujeres

For the Love of Squares, a Walk Around Centro, Madrid
From Puerta Del Sol to Plaza Mayor, Madrilenos love their squares. What makes these plazas the heartbeat of historical Madrid? We try to find out as we walk around the beautiful Spanish city center and get caught up in the joy of shared togetherness.

A Day Trip to Puerto Morelos and the Best Omelette I Ever Ate

End of Days in Playa Del Carmen And Where We’re Going Next
Since leaving Canada in early December we’ve been hanging out in the warm weather of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula.
In the past few months we’ve enjoyed gorgeous beaches, interesting ruins, fabulous meals, snorkeling with turtles, hanging out in ecoparks, lounging in swimming pools, riding on buses plus pretty much everything else you would get to do living at home. It’s actually been low key compared to our previous trip, but we knew that coming in.
We’re only a few days from our flight to Spain. With the weather cooler there than what we’re now used to it will be a wake up call once we set foot on the ground.
We don’t have a lot planned so far, however I’m expecting we’ll spend a few days to a week checking out Madrid before heading south to warmer weather or maybe even west to Portugal. It should be a fun time regardless of where we end up and we’re looking forward to traveling Europe with our little ones.

Even before taking that first step to adventure, there are some serious questions that need to be addressed. Over the years, we’ve been asked multiple times what we do with our vehicle back home when we travel. From leaving it on a farm to keeping it in a garage to leaving it on a lot we’ve done it all. Here’s a few ideas and the pros and cons of each…
