Seeing the World One Step at a Time

Mellieha in Malta

September 13, 2019 by Samantha Priestley1 Comment

Mellieha in Malta

It’s always difficult trying to find reasonably priced holidays in the summer school break, so when I spotted this package deal to Malta I snapped it up for me, my husband, Tom and my two daughters, Eva, 12, and Lily, 10. I wasn’t sure what to expect, as Malta used to have the reputation of being a destination for older holiday makers, rather than families, but it seems the island is trying to change all that. Our resort, Mellieha, has the … [Read more...]

My Trip To NY NY in Las Vegas

Recently my husband and I took a trip to Las Vegas so we could get a few days away. We weighed our options carefully and decided to stay at the New York-New York, Las Vegas Hotel and Casino. We both love playing casino games and have been going there for about 20 years. From home, we're only a short 45-minute flight from the strip. It's a no brainer. Some people go to Vegas for the shows and other entertainment, but we only go for gambling. … [Read more...]

A Perfect Vibe, Koh Mak, Thailand

A Perfect Vibe, Koh Mak, Thailand

A number of islands in Thailand or beach destinations, especially in the southern part of the country can be over tourist-ed at times and or are destinations for travelers who want to party. For many years I've been attracted to some of the islands in the north closer to the Cambodian border including one of my favorite islands in Thailand, Koh Kood. However, recently I made the trip to Koh Mak, a tiny neighboring island accessible via one of two … [Read more...]

Visiting Vegas: The home of the casino

While you may think a visit to Las Vegas is all about heading into a casino and gambling for the entirety of your trip, you'd be mistaken. Sin City is full of wonder and is packed with an incredible array of things to do, as well as having a flutter on the spin of a roulette wheel. The common misconception when it comes to this awe-inspiring city is that it's all about drinking and gambling - Vegas is actually a many-layered and wondrous … [Read more...]

Las Terrenas & Vicinity, Dominican Republic – August 2019

The small town of Las Terrenas sits on the edge of the northern part of the country on the Semana Peninsula. Arguably some of the best beaches in the Dominican Republic are located here.

Lodging, food, and a number of water activity shops are spread out along the … [Read more...]
