If you’re planning a visit to Egypt, I HIGHLY recommend taking a cruise along the Nile River. We almost didn’t opt in for it because Austen and I suffer from motion sickness and I didn’t want to chance it.

But I decided that I didn’t want to miss out on a once in a lifetime experience. I’m so glad I took the chance. The river cruise was so smooth that neither of us got sick at all. There were a few times I didn’t even notice we were moving until I went up on the deck or looked out the window.

All in all, our Nile River Cruise cost about $575 per person but that price included our internal flights from Cairo to Aswan and the. From Luxor back to Cairo. We booked the cruise through our guide @loai_rami_elshaer

Check my stories for a breakdown of the day to day activities on the Nile River Cruise.

How to save money during your family vacation [SAV

How to save money during your family vacation [SAVE + SHARE]

Travel expenses can add up quickly. Here are a few tips you can use to cut cost on your next family vacation:⁠⁠
⁠⁠
• Stay in a vacation rental or any ⁠⁠accommodation with a kitchen. This will help ⁠⁠you cut back on the expense of eating out 3 meals a day. After we check-in, we usually go to a grocery store to pick up enough food for a few meals. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
• Consider not staying close to all the action. If ⁠⁠you stay on the outskirts of a destination, it ⁠⁠
provides ⁠great savings since everything from ⁠⁠
accommodations, gas, and even groceries are ⁠⁠cheaper the further away from tourist centers.⁠⁠

• Decide on a budget before your trip and stick ⁠⁠to it. I found that it’s easiest to stick to your ⁠budget when you use cash. That way, you will ⁠⁠know exactly when your well runs dry.⁠⁠

• Avoid souvenir shops. Instead visit the local Target or ⁠⁠Walmart to get more affordable souvenirs for ⁠your ⁠friends and family.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Check out my stories for my complete list of family vacation money-savers.⁠⁠

What’s your favorite money saving vacation tip?

Instagram vs reality! Behind every beautifully crafted image is a whole story that usually involves some shenanigans 🤪. This is the Philae Temple a gorgeous structure located on an island in Aswan. What the brochure didn’t tell us is that it’s full of feral AKA gangsta cats that will slap food right outta your hands.

We understand that cats have a significant place in Egyptian history and culture. I was prepared to see a rack of cats but didn’t expect them to be so aggressive. In our 10+ day Egypt trip, this was the only place we experienced this. If you’re planning a visit…be prepared!

Welcome to one of the cutest café’s in Paris – Angelina Paris! This café is not only pretty, but it’s also said to serve the best hot chocolate in Paris. We couldn’t visit Paris without stopping by to try it out. Which was a hit with the kiddos. The famous tea house is also known for its French pastries. We tried a few out while we were there as well.

If you’re planning a trip to Paris, you need to check out this café.
