Saturday, July 5th, 2008I’m just back from a fantabulous two-week family vacation to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, where we stayed at three different resorts and condos in the area. (This Traveling Mama sometimes has trouble making up her mind when it comes to accommodations; I like sampling many, even if it means packing and moving every several days!)
Oh, we [...]

Family Fun in the Smoky Mountains
Tuesday, July 1st, 2008Everyone has figured out that my family really enjoys the area around The Great Smoky Mountain National Park. It reminds me of my childhood family vacations and the ones I spend with my own little family. In fact, the CajunMama family will be spending the last week of July in the Smokies. Last year we [...]

Best Adventure Outfitter for Families in Santa Fe
Friday, June 27th, 2008Outdoor activities abound in the wilderness surrounding Santa Fe, New Mexico. Rather than “do it yourselves” and book experiences, such as fly fishing, whitewater rafting and horseback riding, through a number of different outfitters, I suggest you have Santa Fe Mountain Adventures make all the arrangements for you.
This “adventure concierge” typically books various vacation experiences [...]
Winning Wednesday: William Joseph CD
Wednesday, June 25th, 2008Italy, Hawaii, Australia, Alaska, Ireland, Paris, and tropical getaways seem to be tops on everyone’s list of dream places to visit.
The last time someone mentioned to me that they dreamed of going to Australia, I encouraged her to go. It happened to be my cousin, who came back after a two week tour to sell her condo [...]
Space Camp
Wednesday, June 25th, 2008Raise your hand if you wanted to go to Space Camp when you were a kid. Me! Me!
I used to spend every childhood summer in Huntsville, AL, the home of the U.S. Space and Rocket Center. I would beg my grandfather to take me to the Space Center so I could buy astronaut food, bring [...]
The Best Luau in Hawaii Isn’t a Luau After All
Tuesday, June 24th, 2008Luaus are a staple of Hawaiian vacations. Many hotels and resorts, on most parts of the major islands, either have on-site luaus or provide shuttle service to them. Several boast of having the best luau in Hawaii. And, frankly, many luaus are interchangeable. Sure, one has more fire-twirling than another, say, but the buffet dinners [...]
Tug-of-War across the Mississippi River
Monday, June 23rd, 2008As travel writers, the Mamas and I receive dozens of press releases in our email in-box weekly. We typically don’t pass them on willy-nilly to you, since we prefer to draw from and write about our own personal experiences in various destinations — from eating well in New Orleans to hiking in Hawaii, and from [...]
Giveaway: William Joseph CD BEYOND
Saturday, June 21st, 2008I’ve been searching for road trip music for all the many road trips I have planned this summer. I like to find tracks that go with the destination, kind of like my own soundtrack. I came across artist William Joseph, who released a new CD, BEYOND. I decided to do a little research on him [...]
