Today was the last day of school before our March break (or Spring break as some call it). I've been listening to everyone's travel plans and feeling a bit jealous. I would so love to be going somewhere exotic!

In 2008 we took the kids to spend 10 days in the Smoky Mountains. Nearing the end of our trip, the last day at Dollywood, I had an accident. Actually a couple….

When we first entered the park my hubby wanted to go hear a Gospel quartet, as we were waiting for it to start, my youngest child was wiggling like only a 2 year old can. In a matter of seconds of trying to get him to sit still, he flailed his arms and one of his hands made its way to my face and he scratched my left cornea

I am a Canadian traveler and wannabe trend setter. Problem is the only trend I've been setting lately on my global gallavants is a long caravan of travel trip-ups and feckless faux-pas in foreign lands.
