Family Safari Package, In Palm Springs

Meet Me at the Market Bar in Dublin

After a long week of work, not only do I want something tasty at an affordable price and a refreshing drink, but I want some good atmosphere to come with it. I also want a place that is accommodating for groups, the type of place where a waiter won’t sigh in annoyance if someone else arrives to...

Shakespeare “In the Park”

I think most people either love Shakespeare or hate Shakespeare. I have never met anyone who is ambivalent about The Bard. I first read “Romeo and Juliet” in middle school, but it wasn’t until I read “Hamlet” and then “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, both...

Beaches Resorts Lifts Single Supplement

When we’re in the Caribbean with our kids, the SPF we’re usually worried about is Sun Protection Factor – and we want it to be a high number. However, Beaches Resorts have introduced a new initiative called SPF (Single Parent Fun), and this number is effectively 0 – and that’s a good thing. When...
