Breakfast at DoubleTree by Hilton: A Holiday Treat

Posted on January 29, 2025 | 1 comment

One of the joys of being on holiday is waking up and heading to a buffet breakfast – it’s like a little celebration to start the day. During our recent stay at DoubleTree by Hilton, we indulged in their breakfast buffet, which, although smaller compared to some other places we’ve stayed, still offered a delightful variety to satisfy everyone in the family.

The kids were thrilled with their favourites – cereals, crispy bacon, sausages, hash browns, and pastries. Watching them excitedly pick out their plates and enjoy their meal made me so happy. For me, a good breakfast sets the tone for the day, and this one didn’t disappoint. It even felt a bit luxurious, with freshly prepared eggs available to order. Though it took a little while to get the eggs just right, the staff were friendly and eager to help, which made the experience pleasant overall.

Every morning, we looked forward to this routine – sipping coffee while the kids explored the options, from sweet pastries to warm savoury bites. It became a little family tradition during our stay, and I loved seeing the kids embrace it. Traveling isn’t just about the big moments; it’s these little ones that make it special.

Coming back home to “normal” breakfasts was definitely an adjustment. After all, how do you go from a variety-filled buffet to a quick piece of toast? These moments make me appreciate the joy of travel even more – from exploring new places to enjoying the simple pleasure of breakfast together.

If you’re staying at a DoubleTree, definitely give their breakfast a try. It’s not just a meal; it’s a great way to start your holiday mornings on a positive note.

What was available?

  • A selection of cereals
  • Crispy bacon and sausages
  • Hash browns and baked beans
  • Pastries and toast with spreads
  • Fresh fruit and yoghurt
  • Made-to-order eggs
  • Juices, tea, and coffee

For us, breakfast became one of those cherished parts of the day, and it reminded me how much I love traveling with the kids – watching them grow, love, and enjoy everything that comes with it.

Off We Go: Summer Adventures Await!

Posted on January 17, 2025 | Leave a comment

There’s something magical about the start of a holiday—the buzz of the airport, the excitement in the air, and the joy of embarking on a new adventure. As we packed our bags and headed to the airport, I couldn’t help but feel a wave of happiness wash over me. Traveling has always been my passion, and sharing this love with my kids makes it even more special.

The kids were just as thrilled as we were! From pulling their little suitcases to gazing in awe at the planes outside the window, their excitement was infectious. Boarding the plane, they eagerly took their seats, buckled up, and were ready for takeoff. Their joy during these moments reminds me of how much there is to appreciate in the little things—like watching the world from above or guessing how many clouds we’d fly through.

Traveling for the last 20 years has truly widened my horizons. I’ve explored over 30 countries, and while I’ve ticked off some incredible places from my bucket list, there’s still so much left to see and experience. Yet, despite all the adventures, the excitement of traveling never fades. Every journey feels like the beginning of something new—a chance to learn, grow, and make unforgettable memories.

Now, as I watch my kids embrace the joys of traveling, I hope they too develop a love for exploration. I want them to see the world, meet people from all walks of life, and understand the beauty of diversity. Traveling teaches us to enjoy life in its purest form, to be curious, and to cherish the world around us.

As we set off on this summer break, I look forward to all the fun, laughter, and memories waiting to be made. Whether it’s splashing in the water, exploring hidden gems, or simply enjoying family time together, every moment is a treasure. Traveling brings us closer, teaches us new perspectives, and fills our hearts with joy.

Here’s to the adventures ahead and a lifetime of exploration!

Jacaranda blossoms

Posted on December 17, 2024 | Leave a comment

Spring in Sydney is a magical time of the year, and I absolutely love it. The warmer temperatures invite us to enjoy the beaches, spend time outdoors, and soak up the sunshine. But what truly makes spring special in Sydney is the breathtaking sight of jacaranda trees in full bloom.

These iconic purple blossoms transform the city into a picture-perfect wonderland. Streets, parks, and neighbourhoods are draped in a canopy of vibrant violet flowers, creating a dreamy, almost surreal atmosphere. It’s no wonder jacaranda season is such a beloved time for locals and visitors alike.

This weekend, we decided to embrace the season and visit one of the parks known for its stunning jacaranda trees. The view was simply mesmerising. We spent hours strolling through the park, capturing beautiful photos, and taking in the tranquil surroundings. The kids loved running under the jacaranda trees, their laughter blending with the peaceful rustling of the leaves.

For me, jacaranda season feels like a celebration of nature’s beauty and a reminder to pause and appreciate the small joys in life. These purple blossoms have a way of uplifting my spirits and making even the simplest day feel special. Whether it’s enjoying a morning coffee under a jacaranda tree or taking a leisurely walk along a jacaranda-lined street, it’s impossible not to smile when surrounded by their vibrant hues.

Jacarandas bloom for only a few weeks, typically peaking in late October to early November, making their beauty fleeting but all the more precious. It’s a season that brings people together—whether it’s photographers capturing the perfect shot, families enjoying picnics, or friends gathering under the blossoms for a catch-up.

If you’re in Sydney during spring, make sure to take a moment to experience the magic of jacaranda season. Trust me, these trees have a charm that’s hard to resist and can brighten anyone’s day.

What’s your favourite part of spring? Do you love jacarandas as much as I do? Let me know! 🌸💜
