We just came back from Punta Cana this past March and after a 2 week stay, I can confidently say that if you are considering a family vacation that checks a lot of boxes ( but doesn’t break the bank TOO much), Punta Cana is an amazing option. There are tons of direct flights from North America ( Toronto, New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Montreal etc) so getting there is a breeze. The beaches are serene, there is lots to do and we had a great experience with all the food. We travelled with our ...| The Daydream Diaries

It was the kind of trip where we could genuinely slow dow...| The Daydream Diaries
Walt Disney World was truly a dream come true for our family. With our kids at the perfect ages—3 and 6—it felt like we were stepping into a real-life fairytale.

Each day, we found ourselves getting more and more “Disney-ified,” swept up in the joy, the wonder, and songs ( I am currently listening to Disney’s Greatest Hits as I type this). By th...| The Daydream Diaries

St Lucia was hands down the best Caribbean Island we have been to. No question. If you want to have Hawaii vibes mixed with the landscape of French Polynesia ( without having a 10-15 hour flight), you should definitely consider it!

Traveling with our 3- and 6-year-olds, we found plenty of family-friendly activities nestled among the island’s nat...| The Daydream Diaries
