Checking In: Huka Lodge Review

Turning 30 is scary, exciting, daunting and something worth celebrating – all at once. For my 30th birthday, the turn of a new decade, I wanted to travel somewhere special to me. I was in the mood for somewhere I already had an established connection with, but to experience something new while I was there. A paradox? Maybe. But that turned out to be the catalyst for a 30th birthday gone wrong – that is, until it went so fantastically well, a year later.

I booked my flight to New Zealand a couple of months before my 30th birthday. That was a year ago when shortly thereafter the borders closed and my birthday travel plans turned to dust. But alas! I turned thirty plus one this year and finally, the trip I had so yearned for was back on the cards. I was heading to New Zealand.

Dorm Room Essentials – Mommy Travels

Moving a kiddo into a dorm room can be incredibly challenging. There’s very little space to work with, so you have to think strategically about the must-have items you need to get through the year. I just moved my daughter into the dorms last month, so we are now well-acquainted with many of the best current options. She is at least in a two-person room. Noah somehow ended up in a triple his freshman year, so you can just imagine what that was like. Neither situation is impossible but it definitely took some advanced planning.

The easiest way to maximize space is to buy much smaller versions of the items your college kid uses the most. That’s a recurring theme in this article. Everything is the smallest version without compromising the quality of the item. For example, instead of bringing an iron and an ironing board buy a travel-size steamer

Checking In to the Carlton Hotel in St Moritz

If there’s anywhere in Europe you can guarantee you’ll enjoy in the ski season it is St Moritz. In fact, this town in the Swiss Alps only comes to life when there is snow. Sure, it is beautiful year-round but without a layer of white powder, St Moritz wouldn’t be half the fun. And indeed it is a lot of fun when the season is in full swing. Visitors come from around the globe – I myself included, having flown here all the way from Australia to check in to the Carlton Hotel in St Moritz and report back on what you can expect from this luxury five star hotel overlooking the beauty of St Moritz.

I can make both these statements since that’s who I traveled here with. The good vibes start the second you walk into the resort and don’t end until you’ve left. To kick things off you are greeted with a spiked popsicle or a non-alcoholic one if that is what you prefer. Many Thanks to Apple Vacations for sending us to Margaritaville Cap Cana Island Reserve.
