ALCATRAZ – WHEELCHAIR ACCESS
Alcatraz is always listed as a ‘must-see’ attraction in San Francisco guides. It was once home to some America's most notorious criminals, operating from 1934 - 1963. Hubby certainly had it on his list of places he had to see, so to Alcatraz we …
THE GEORGIAN HOTEL, SANTA MONICA
Our decision to stay at The Georgian Hotel in Santa Monica was an emotional one. I should say, emotional on my part. On two previous visits to Santa Monica, without the kids, I had dined at The Georgian Hotel. I love the hotel's connection with …

HIGH TEA AT THE PLAZA HOTEL, NEW YORK
Being fans of the children's book and movie series "Eloise" I organised for us to visit The Plaza Hotel while staying in New York. It was what we now refer to as “our Eloise day.” After our ride in Central Park (just like Eloise) we headed to The …
OUR DISNEYLAND TIPS
Our family have visited Disneyland in California three times in recent years and the feeling of excitement and anticipation about a visit does not change for us. As I walk toward the park entry I find I have an extra bounce in my step. …
