Silom Cooking School (Silom, Bangkok, Thailand).
I didn’t anticipate going to a cooking class while in Bangkok. To me, cooking equals work and I work enough as it is. However, we had family in town and decided to give it a shot. It was super fun. I am disappointed we did not do it sooner. It is a great activity to…

The Dreaded 20 Hour Flight.
I read a story some time ago about a mother who was traveling across the United States with her five month old twins (http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/03/living/feat-twins-fly-parents-care-package/).

Baby and Toddler Free in the Land of the Samurai (Tokyo, Japan).
Currently in the land of the Samurai! This week I traveled solo to Tokyo to meet a friend. Oh boy – the difference between traveling with children and traveling alone is just staggering. For brevity’s sake lets just say it involves a lot less luggage and a lot more sake!

Traffic Jam on the Siem Reap River (Village of Chong Kneas, Siem Reap, Cambodia).
In Southeast Asia, traffic jams exist everywhere – even far from the beaten path or any type of highway. Today we took what should have been a very short trip up the Siem Reap river to the floating village of Chong Kneas. The trip turned out longer than expected due to a traffic jam on…

The Hottest Place on Earth (Probably)(Phnom Penh, Cambodia).
I am writing this blog as Chad, Jack and Anna sleep and as Sam gets ready to do his favorite thing (swim). These poor tortured creatures are recovering from a day spent strutting around what has to be the hottest place on earth: Phnom Penh.
