ace hotel & swim club, palm springs

Wanneer ik op vakantie ga, vind ik de logies een belangrijk punt. Er zijn van die mensen waarvoor een propere kamer met bed en badkamer volstaat, maar ik wil meer.

uitwaaien in cadzand

Zaterdag hadden we allebei (of misschien zelfs alle drie) nood aan zuurstof. Omdat te zon toch wat meer kwam piepen dan initieel voorspeld, stapten we in de wagen. Een ritje langs de nieuwe A11, dat stond vast. Emma was nog aan het dutten toen we in de buurt van Knokke reden en dus zetten we…

weekendje brussel met de belmodo hotspots app

Afgelopen weekend vertoefde ik in Brussel dankzij Belmodo. Ter gelegenheid van de lancering van hun nieuwste app, de Belmodo Hotspots App, werd er namelijk een wedstrijd georganiseerd waarbij een weekendje Brussel gewonnen kon worden met overnachting en diner in één van de door hen en Visit Flanders geselecteerde hotspots.

alpe-d’huez

And just like that we’re back among our fellow Belgians, a 9-hour ride from our beloved Alpe-d’Huez. Do we feel sad? Yes, we do. But.. it’s also fun to transfer all the photos of the trip onto the computer and compile a blog post. I did my utter best to narrow it down to about…

last minute wanderlust (+ contest!)

As many of you know, the hubby and I already had our fair share of vacation by heading to the US in May and June. However, since the office I’m working at is closed for two weeks during the summer months, I’m now home alone (Steven has to work this summer). One of the things…
