San Diego is a marvelous city and I am fortunate to live here, but sometimes I just miss the mountain air and being surrounded by trees. Big Bear, although is not like the Pacific Northwest, has been a decent substitute for when I need to cool down after a hot summer. My first Airbnb experience with in Big Bear several years ago and now it has been a place for me and my husband to take our kids.
Read MoreEven though our train ride on the Eurostar was over two hours, it felt like hardly anytime had past as we arrived at Gare du Nord. We entered the station and I was immediately aware of the difficulty to read anything. Dustin proceeded to purchase our train passes while I waited for him off to the side of the walk way. In the midst of the afternoon rush, a young man walked right up to me and asked me directions in French. Taken aback and a little embarrassed at my lack of abilities with the language, I somberly replied in English that I did not speak French. He didn't seem to think much off of it and continued through the labyrinth of Gare du Nord. After a decidedly good length of time, Dustin returned, train passes in hand, and we started toward the RER Station.

Read MoreAfter our eventful and stressful time in the San Diego Airport, we were finally aboard our flight. I had religiously scoured the American Airlines website six or seven months before to snatch up two seats that were in the family section. I learned from a friend who had traveled to Spain recently about planes equipped with cots for long distance flights. Sure enough, we arrived at our seats and the flight attendant equipped us with a safety belt that attached to mine for Gibson and explained that a cot would be brought to us after takeoff. Aboard, settled and equipped we finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Read MoreI was so excited as we entered San Diego’s Lindbergh International Airport and ready for our overnight haul to London. My husband and I had planned for as much as we possibly could for the journey across the pond and felt like we were more than prepared for our trip. Then we arrived at the check-in counter and Gibson didn’t have a ticket.
