It IS possible to have absolute luxury, fine dining, candlelit dinners every night when holidaying with kids.  I always thought you had to give up (even if only something very minor) but Jean-Michel Cousteau, Fiji is all of this and a whole lot more!  Clients I’ve sent there always come back raving about the resort, but seeing, doing, experiencing the tropical treat that is Jean Michel Cousteau, Fiji delivers quality timeout for mums and dads and high energy kids club delights single-handedly.  Jean-Michel Cousteau, Fiji is a 5 star resort located in Savsavu, an hours flight (on a small plane) from Nadi.  Built on a former coconut plantation, the resort ticks all the boxes: eco-friendly, child-friendly, parent-friendly. In fact, my only disappointment was that we could only change our flights to  extend our stay one (rather than two) extra nights, it was that good!

New York or the "Big Apple" as its affectionately known is a hussling bussling city thats home to Wall Street, Times Square, NBC, Central Park, the Brooklyn Bridge, Empire State Building and hundreds of celebrities.  Everyone, who is anyone, wants to be seen in New York yet there is still plenty to entertain the kids on a family holiday.

Should I take my kids to Las Vegas is a common question we hear, well my answer is a definite yes!  We just returned from a family holiday to America and Vegas was one of my favourite destinations.  There is something for everyone in larger than life Las Vegas.  There are plenty of family shows, activities, sights to see and as a bonus many are free or cheap.  The whole strip is just amazing with its themed hotels and bright lights, plus the Grand Canyon an easy day trip away... a must do destination in America.

We arrived into Phnom Penh airport early in the morning and were welcomed by bright sunshine and a line of smiling tuk tuk drivers. I was pleased to see the tuk tuk's here are much larger than elsewhere in Asia and fit the 4 of us and our luggage.  We advise the driver of our accommodation and off we go ducking and weaving through the bustling streets of the city.

We've been lucky enough to travel through Kuala Lumpur several times with our kids and it is one of my favourite Asian cities. With a lively China town full of great shopping plus temples, mosques, a skytower, fantastic restaurants, lovely people and a range of day tours to islands and countryside its easy to understand why we love it.

Chengdu is a busy city in South West China.  We visited Chengdu to see the gorgeous giant Panda.  The Panda centre is exceptional and was a highlight of our travels in China. We also ventured to the 1000 buddha cliffs and the Giant Buddha at Leshan.
