Wednesday, 14 Nov 2007 | Views [771]

If you are traveling to Bolivia and happen to be traveling with small children, do not, I repeat, do not take them to the Valley of the Moon in La Paz. Oh sure, they can get in for free. There is a reason. If your kid plummets to their death and you ... Read more >

Road trip to the highest ski slope in the world

Wednesday, 14 Nov 2007 | Views [852]

Just as being in a city that is at an altitude of 3500 m is not enough, we decided that a trip to Chacaltaya (which is 5300m just at the parking lot) would be fun. I had recuperated enough with my bout of food poisoning to go along on the trip, but ... Read more >

Someone once told me “either you have a good trip or a good story.” Well, we had a good trip (all of our flights were on time, we made all of our connections from Toulouse to Paris to Buenos Ares to Santa Cruz to La Paz) but what fun is there in hearing ... Read more >

"Mommy?" "Yes darling," I said absentmindedly while trying to pack extra socks into our suitcase. "Mommy, what is Bolivia?" I rocked back on my heels, "Well, Bolivia is a country." "Where?" "... Read more >

  As it is typical to do when planning the perfect family vacation, I googled the security low-down on the place we are about to visit. (funny, I don’t remember doing this the last time we went to Disneyland….) Mind you, the government websites I ... Read more >

Wednesday, 31 Oct 2007 | Views [505]

The illusion of the immortality of youth … oh, how I miss it. Long gone are the days that I could swing my backpack over my shoulder and take off insouciantly for foreign destinations. Twenty year ago I poured over the “where to” sections of guide books ... Read more >

La Paz : either you step off the plane and admire the magnificent view or you crumple to a heap and have to be scrapped off the tarmac. It turns out that La Paz is the highest capital in the world at an altitude of 3,600 meters (11,811 feet) and something ... Read more >
