The Deep, Hull | Things to do in East Yorkshire
We asked on our Facebook page what people recommended us to do in Hull. We’d never been, but as it was only one and a half hours from Scarborough where we were based for some of the Summer Holidays, it was a short trip away. Several people put forward The Deep in Hull. If I’m…

How much did we save using the ‘I Amsterdam’ City Card?
As we were planning our Amsterdam trip this summer Google kept suggesting the ‘I Amsterdam’ city card. This card covered museum entry, public transport & a canal boat ride. Would we get back the 84€ it would cost us for the 72 hours in the city? We decided to take the punt, explore the city…

Discovering Hotel Not Hotel in Amsterdam
When my parents kindly offered to take the girls on a Norweigan Cruise this summer, we decided to take the opportunity to head off on a child-free city break. We toyed with a few destinations but settled on Amsterdam. With daily KLM flights from Newcastle with less than an hour flying time and easy transfer…

Choosing A Budget Hotel in Florida!
We’d found the amazing cheap Florida deal, but didn’t like the look of the cheapest hotel. I’m sure it was OK as we spoke to many people on the flight that were going there, but I wanted a little more. I’d never stayed over on International drive before and had always been nearer Disney Springs area. So…

How much our £2000 Florida holiday really cost!
We’ve returned from our “cheap” last minute Florida deal, but how much did it really cost? After all, this was our alternative for £3,600 11 days all inclusive in Benidorm. My friends had told me year on year food and shopping is cheap outside of the theme parks, so we gave it a go. Recapping…

What is Inside Wonderworks on I Drive?
As a family, we’ve been going to Florida on and off for about 8 years. Previously with my parents, I’d been 4 or 5 times. It has always been somewhere we loved going as there is so much to do. No matter how many times you go there are always more reasons to return. Wonderworks…

Trapped in a room with an Alpha Male!
I love a challenge and as it was my Birthday, I had one choice to make. What do I really want to do that is special and I’d not done before… in Orlando. OK, I’m lying the kids had the first choice of a day at Aquatica, but as it was packed on Labor Day…

Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party 2018
On our “Budget” holiday we chose not to buy Disney Park tickets to try and save some money but spotted that Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party was on during our holiday. For us, it was a good option to get some “cheaper” Disney Magic and bring home a sack of souvenirs! Mickey’s Not So…

Things we’re looking forward to in August 2018
We’re already a couple of weeks through the school holidays and the kids have started to say the “B” word. Unless they can site watching Youtube for the remainder of the holidays. Abigail has started memorise the Netflix catalog, while Imogen is just watching people making slime, poking slime and then mixing lots of different slimes together.…

Booking a £2000 holiday to Florida in the Summer School Holidays
I had a theory and I did some research and there was a chance it would be possible. As a family we love Orlando and Florida, there is something addictive about the country. Is it simply the sunshine and happy holiday feelings? It’s got to be more than that as you’d get the same in Spain. Maybe…
