Here’s the question every parent asks me before they’ve even booked the flights: Can one island really work for a toddler who naps at noon and a teenager who wants a real adventure story to bring home? After planning enough Kauai trips to lose count, I can tell you the answer is yes, but only […]

Nobody tells you that the hardest part of planning a trip to New Zealand is not the flight. It is choosing which version of the country your family gets to see. That is the real work behind a good New Zealand family vacation itinerary. And it is exactly what I want to walk you through […]
