The post The Ultimate Cruise Packing List appeared first on Flashpacker Family Travel Blog - Travel with Kids.]]>
Lucky you! You're off on a cruise. You've got your trip booked and now you need to put together the ultimate cruise packing list before you set sail. If you're wondering what to pack for a cruise, look no further. Our cruise checklist with help you decide what to wear on a cruise as well as other cruise essentials you'll need to bring onboard. In addition to knowing what to take on a cruise, you'll also need to know how to dress, how to pack and what little extras are important to bring.
Making a list of what to bring on a cruise is essential. Download my printable cruise packing list! You'll find it further down in the post. This post focuses primarily on what to pack for a Caribbean cruise but the cruise check list is customisable for any type of cruise you're headed on. For other location-specific cruise ship packing lists see these posts:
Here's what luggage I recommend for a cruise:
Suitcase – Don't bring a huge suitcase. When you're packing for cruise trips, remember that your stateroom will be quite small. If you follow my packing list for a cruise below you won't overpack. A 25″ suitcase should be adequate. This one from Delsey is great!. If you're sharing a suitcase with your travel partner, then a 29″ suitcase like this will also work. There is limited storage in stateroom closets for multiple large suitcases so it's a good idea to share one per family.Tote bag– A tote bag can be used as carry on when you're travelling to your cruise port and for your items for the first afternoon on board. Sometimes there is quite a wait to get your checked luggage so you need to pack you bathing suit, a pool coverup, sunglasses, hat, sunscreen and any essential items like medication, reading glasses, passport and wallet. You can also use your tote bag on day excursions. Packing cubes – Packing cubes are a lifesaver when it comes to organising what to pack on a cruise. I never travel without them! Organise your clothing for day and evening, your underwear and your swimwear into seperate packing cubes so you can easily find what you need. You can lift packing cubes straight out of your suitcase and pop them into the drawers in your room. Makes for easy packing and unpacking! If you're sharing a suitcase with a partner or children, use a different color for each family member. Folding beach bag – If you're planning a lot of beach excursions, definitely bring a folding beach bag. You'll get pool towels when you exit the ship for the day so you need something to carry them in, along with your waterbottle, sunscreen etc. This folding mesh beach tote is perfect! Laundry bag – A mesh laundry bag is a very useful item for travel and makes unpacking when you get home a lot easier. Wet bag – A wet bag to protect your belongs from a wet swimsuit in your day bag after a beach excursion or when you're packing up to go home on the last day. Hanging toiletries bag – Put your toiletries in a hanging bag as there is not a lot of counter space in your bathroom. Luggage tags – It's important to tag your bags well so they don't go missing between the cruise port and your stateroom. It's also a good idea to take a photo of your luggage so you can easily describe it in the event it does disappear. Kids' Backpack – If you're cruising with kids, then bring along a small backpack to keep all their bits & pieces together.

Wondering how to dress on a cruise? Knowing what to wear on a cruise ship isn't easy if you haven't been. When I think about Caribbean cruise clothes, I think of bright, light and airy resort wear. Picking your clothes for a cruise is actually pretty easy. Break it down and think about the tips of activities you'll be doing on board though and it's actually pretty easy to work out how to dress for a cruise.
Need more inspiration on what clothes to wear on a cruise?
Planning what to pack for cruise needs quite a bit of thought. I would encourage you to get organised now and print out my checklist for cruise packing below. Go through your own wardrobe and look at the clothing you already have and decide what would make good cruise apparel. Then fill in the gaps by buying a few extra items. It's always nice to have something new to wear for a vacation!
My biggest tip for deciding what to pack for a 7 day cruise is to think of outfits you can create and selecting pieces of clothing that work with one another. My Caribbean cruise packing list consists of a mixture of excursion outfits, clothes for cruise ship wear, resort casual pieces for non-formal evenings and cocktail dresses for formal wear for cruise dinners.
This is a 7 day cruise packing list. For longer cruises, you will be able to do laundry on board. For shorter cruises, just omit a few outfits to suit the length of your trip.
Your swimwear is one of the most important things to take on a cruise! After all, you will be spending a lot of time in the pool or at the beach. You don't need to bring a beach towel as they are provided onboard on the pool deck or when you're leaving for excursions in port.
Of course clothes are not the only things you need for a cruise! What to bring on cruise depends a little on personal preference, especially in terms of electronics.
Electronics may come under the list of things to pack on a cruise vacation…. or they may not! A cruise is an excellent "digital detox" vacation as internet is very slow and expensive on board. You'll pay about $200 for a week long cruise if you want internet in your cabin. You won't need a hair dryer as they are a provided on board.
While you will get some basic toiletries provided in your cabin, it's often not adequate quality or quantity for me personally so I like to bring my own. I recommend decanting your own shampoo and conditioner into travel bottles. These squeezey silicone ones are the best. Use a hanging toiletries bag for your bathroom essentials. You can organise your toiletries further by using small Ziploc bags for things like makeup, hair accessories and first aid items. Put your sunscreen and bug spray in a large Ziploc bag so you can pop it into your tote when you head off on excursions.
A couple of things to pack for a cruise that I would definitely recommend for everyone is seasickness prevention supplies. You never know how your body is going to react to the motion of the ship so it pays to prepare in advance. Throw all these little items into a Ziploc bag together so you can put your hands on them if you need them. Once you return home, keep them bagged up for your next cruise!
Pop all your documents in atravel document wallet to keep them organised. A money belt is also a good idea for cruise excursions when you don't want to bring your wallet along.
My cruise packing list for men is fairly similar to the women's list above. All the extras can be shared between travel partners so I'll just cover the list of what to wear on a cruise for men. Men's cruise wear is relatively straight forward. Cruise attire for men means short sleeved shirts or t-shirts with shorts during the day. Evening cruise clothes for men on non-formal nights is slacks, long sleeved shirts and maybe a sports coat. Formal cruise attire men is a dark suit, shirt and tie with dress shoes or a tux if you're going full formal. Tuxes can be rented on board.
As a mom it's up to me to decide what to pack for kids on a cruise. Thankfully the rules for dress codes and cruise wear for kids is a little more relaxed. You know your kids best so feel free to adjust my family cruise packing list.
You won't need to bring your own portacrib for babies & toddlers. They are provided by the ship.
All of the items from my cruise list above have been collated into an easy cruise packing list pdf that you can download and print. As you lay out items for your vacation, check them off the cruise packing checklist pdf so you can organise yourself ahead of time.

Wondering what to wear on a cruise? Cruise ship attire can be a little tricky to plan, especially if this is your first cruise. Cruise attire varies from a bathing suit & cover up to cocktail dresses and if you're not careful you can end up way overpacking. With this post, I've put together 12 outfits for a cruise that will take you from excursions to evening easily, without stuffing your suitcase. You'll see that all my cruise clothing can be mixed and matched to create multiple cruise ship outfits from just a few key pieces.
These Caribbean cruise outfits are by no means definitive but I just want to show you how easy cruise wear can be to put together when you know how. With seven basic pieces you can build so many different outfits for cruise activities and excursions, pack light and, most importantly, look fantastic.
Note that this is all Caribbean cruise attire but almost all these outfits would work for a Mediterranean cruise also. You can read my European Cruise Packing List post here.
If you're looking for advice on what to wear on an Alaskan cruise, please see my Alaska Cruise Packing List for lots of ideas.
For a full list of what to bring on a cruise, read my Ultimate Cruise Packing List here.
My cruise wardrobe ideas are all built on a few key pieces. With these few items and a few well-chosen accessories you can create so many outfits to wear on a cruise! You'll notice that all the accessories I've picked to go with this cruise dress attire have been repeated throughout the outfits. I've included plus-size alternatives to the key basic pieces and of course the accessories are all plus-size friendly. I have also tried to pick affordable pieces with many items coming in under $35.
A maxi dress is one of the best outfits for cruise ship passengers because it is lightweight, comfortable and works with many body types. Just remember to pack a suitable bra if you're getting one like this with spaghetti straps.
Plus size option:
Plus size option:
This is perfect casual cruise attire for on or off the ship.
Plus size options:
Plus size options:
A black jumpsuit is one of the best outfits for a cruise! It's so versatile and stylish.
Plus size options:
This jumpsuit goes easily from daywear to attire for Captain's dinner on a cruise just by switching out the accessories for more glamorous options. If you don't want to do a jumpsuit then a black dress would also make perfect cruise dinner attire.
Plus size options:
A nautical-inspired striped t-shirt is one of the nicest cruise wear ideas. Comfortable, practical and easy to wear. I like this one because it's slightly longer length means it covers my butt but could also be knotted at the side or tucked in and flounced over jeans.
Plus size options:
Plus size options:
This is classic cruise casual attire and would work for a city sightseeing excursion or a day at the beach. The kimono provides good sun coverage for your back & shoulders and can be worn over a swimsuit as a beach coverup also.
Plus size options:
Plus size options:
Cruise ship dinner attire for formal dining evenings doesn't have to be a cocktail dress or evening gown. You can dress up a simple sundress with the right accessories.
Plus size options:
These cruise clothes ideas are based on my own experience on two Caribbean cruises. I way overpacked my Caribbean cruise wardrobe on my first cruise. I didn't know what proper cruise attire was so packed much more than I needed, just in case. By my second cruise I had some practical experience on cruise attire ideas based on what other travelers wore on board and what I did and didn't use from my first experience. On my second cruise our whole family of four managed to travel in just one carry on backpack!
On my first cruise with RCL I did note that Royal Caribbean cruise attire was slightly dressier in my experience than what we observed on our second cruise with Norwegian.
Now you should have some really good ideas on proper cruise attire for women. Be sure to drop me a comment below to let me know if this blog post helped you pack for your cruise.

The post 3 Days in Los Angeles appeared first on Flashpacker Family Travel Blog - Travel with Kids.]]>
Welcome to Hollywood! What's your dream? Everybody comes here; this is Hollywood, land of dreams. Some dreams come true, some don't; but keep on dreamin' — this is Hollywood. Always time to dream, so keep on dreamin. – Pretty Woman
Start your three days in Los Angeles over in Beverly Hills! Did you know you can actually have Breakfast at Tiffanys on Rodeo Drive? Well, not exactly IN Tiffany & Co but at a patio restaurant right outside the store on Via Rodeo. It's definitely worth dining at 208 Rodeo for the novelty factor but the breakfast offerings are also healthy and delicious. Just what you'd expect from LA. Not only that, the restaurant sits opposite the Beverly-Wilshire Hotel, setting of the film Pretty Woman. You're ticking all your dream LA boxes by brunching here! After brunch, go for a wander up and down Rodeo Drive to soak up some of the opulence and excess that is Beverly Hills.
After Beverly Hills, move on down to Hollywood and do the tousity sites. The Hollywood Walk of Fame is fun to wander up and down in search of your favourite celeb's star. If you want to see and learn more then a walking tour of Hollywood is a great idea! If you don't want to walk, an open top bus tour is a fun idea.
If you want to do a spot of celeb spotting, cruise over to Robertson Boulevard. Hollywood execs and stars lunch on the patio in front of The Ivy and frequent the Starbucks and Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf just down the road. Here's a map to show you where to wander for maximum chance of seeing a celebrity! The Grove is another great spot to search for celebrities. Keep lunch light an healthy and visit Veggie Grill at The Grove while you're there. This veggieful vegan West Coast chain restaurant serves delicious salads, bowls and sandwiches.
Continue your quest for celebrities with a drive around in search of star homes! You can take yourself on a little self-drive trip if you're hiring a car. Look online for a guide to star homes and program the addresses in your GPS or just pick up one of those star maps you see for sale on Hollywood Boulevard.
Grab a late dinner. Rock Sugar Pan Asian Kitchen in Century City has amazing dishes with inspiration coming from across Asia's. Definitely one of my favourite restaurants in the world! If you need to do a little shopping on your trip to LA, the stores here at Century City are open until 9pm (or 7pm on Sundays). With only three days in LA this is your best chance to squeeze in some time buying a few nice things to take home.
No list of what to do in Los Angeles in 3 days would be complete without seeing this city's gorgeous coastline so it's time to soak up some famous Californian sun and visit one of LA's fantastic beaches. If you're looking for some inspiration on which beach to choose, check out this post on the most beautiful beaches in LA. You'll find the beaches in LA easy to get out to if you're travelling by car and a wonderful way to spend the day. Watch street performers and people parade up & down the sidewalk on Venice Beach. Walk the pier at Santa Monica Beach. Take a cheesy shot of yourself next to one of LAs famous lifeguard stations a la Baywatch. Pick a spot for a late brunch on the beach, Malibu has lots of wonderful restaurants if you fancy driving out a little further otherwise just grab something locally.
After you've had your fill of the sun and sand, spend a little time admiring the arts. The Getty Villa in Malibu is a fantastic spot to soak up some ancient culture with hundreds of antiquities from Greece and Rome lining the galleries inside this very pretty villa. Allow at least an hour to wander about. It's closed Tuesdays so plan accordingly.
LA has some of the best Korean food in the US so, for dinner, head down to Koreatown and take your pick of the many restaurants on offer. Depending on how late you like to be out, have dinner before or after heading up to the Griffith Observatory. The park closes at 10pm. Admission to the Observatory building, grounds, telescopes, and parking is free but you'll pay $7 to visit the planetarium.
A theme park is a must for your 3 days in Los Angeles itinerary . If you're travelling with kids or if you're just a big kid yourself, this is the day to take them to Disneyland. Located in Anaheim, 30 to 60 minutes drive from Los Angeles, Disneyland's original theme park will delight kids and adults of any age. You can either drive out to Disneyland or catch an Uber which will set you back about $50.
Disneyland requires a full day of exploring so come prepared with water, snacks, comfy shoes and sunblock. Don't forget to make use of your Fastpass by booking times for the rides you really want to go on without having to wait in line.
Got a little more time up your sleeves or you don't like something on my Los Angeles 3 day itinerary? If my list of what to see in Los Angeles in 3 days isn't enough, here are a few more ideas:
We recommend staying in the Beverly Hills or Hollywood area to make the most of your Los Angeles itinerary 3 days. Here are some suggestions on where to stay if you want to explore LA in 3 days:
Of course if all of these hotels are out of your budget you should try a Priceline Express Deal to get an amazing rate. We only paid $130 a night for the Beverly Hilton by using the tricks I mention in this post on using Priceline Express Deals.
Airports – Los Angeles is served by three airports. You'll most likely be coming into LAX if you're visiting from abroad. Flights from within the US also land at Burbank and Long Beach if you're flying on Southwest. Private jet charter is also an option when flying into LA.
By Car – If you're road tripping around the US then you'll be arriving into LA by car. Be warned that driving on LA's freeways is an intense and quite scary experience if you're not used to it. You'll also need to allow yourself plenty of time to get into the city and make sure you avoid rush hour at all costs!
LA is not a walkable city and the public transport isn't great. You'll need to get around by car whether that's hiring one or making use of Lyft or Uber. Traffic can be immensely frustrating in LA so allow yourself plenty of time to get between destinations and out to the airport when you leave.
Parking can also be a pain in LA. Some hotels only have compulsory valet parking and the prices can be high, think $35 a night. You'll need to factor this into your budget when you're calculating if it's worth it to rent a car or whether you can make do with Ubering about the city.
Los Angeles in three days is a great little trip! If you're visiting for the first time or on a stop over to somewhere else in the United States or abroad then make a little time to explore. You can definitely see the best of LA in three days if you plan your time wisely. With my LA 3 day itinerary at your side you're sure to have fantastic 3 day trip to Los Angeles.

The post The Ideal Alaska Cruise Packing List appeared first on Flashpacker Family Travel Blog - Travel with Kids.]]>
Wondering what to pack for Alaska cruise? You're not the only one! Coming up with an Alaska cruise packing list is one of the top requests I get from readers who are headed off on a cruise. Why? It's hard to pack for Alaska cruises because of the climate variations, range of activities on offer and the different dress codes for evening events. You need to think about dressing for warm days, chilly weather, daytime hikes and formal evening dinners. Not easy! But I've researched packing for Alaska cruise trips extensively and come up with a the ideal list of what to bring on an Alaskan cruise.
Daytime temperatures in Alaska between May and September range from 55-65˚F (12-18˚C),but can climb to as warm as 80˚F (27˚C) on hot days. Evening temperatures are generally between 40-50˚F (4-10˚C) which can feel quite chilly on deck but the inside of the ship, cabins and dining rooms will be warm. The range in temperature and diversity of excursions can make deciding what to pack for an Alaskan cruise quite difficult.
When you're planning what to wear on Alaskan cruise you need to cover three different styles of outfits – excursion clothes, casual clothes for around the ship and formal attire for evenings. This list should help you decide what to take on an Alaskan cruise to keep you comfortable, warm and stylish throughout your journey whether you're sightseeing, sitting on deck watching the wildlife go by or enjoying a fine evening meal with friends.When going on an Alaska cruise what to pack is the most important consideration so you need to get it right.
I've based my Alaska cruise attire on what I would personally wear as a women in my 30s. I do try to be stylish as well as functional on my travels. You can certainly adjust your Alaskan cruise wear based on your own personal style or clothes you think work better with your age and stage.
At the end of this post you'll find a printable list of what to pack for a cruise to Alaska that you can use to aid your packing and pre-trip organisation. I've also included a packing list for Alaskan cruise wear for men.
Most 7-day cruises will have two formal dining nights. How far you choose to dress up is entirely your choice! Smart cocktail dresses are always a winner. On regular dining nights you should still change out of your excursion clothes into jeans a dressy top at the least.
The above Alaska cruise outfits are obviously for women but with a few small tweaks this list can be adapted for me.
If cruising makes you queasy, bring these four items to easy your motion sickness.
We've covered your Alaska cruise clothing but here are a few tips on how to pack for an Alaskan cruise that will be helpful for your trip!
To make your job even easier I've put my entire packing list for Alaska cruise into an easy checklist format. You can download my Alaskan cruise packing list here. This Alaska packing list will help you organise yourself and your family before you head out on your cruise.
Thanks for reading through my post on what to pack Alaska cruise! I hope it's helpful when you're packing for Alaskan cruise trips in the future. If you think I've missed anything from the list, please let me know what to bring on Alaskan cruise. Or if you have any clothes for Alaska cruise that worked out really well on your trip then I'd love to hear about them. Your Alaska cruise wardrobe needs to fit your own personal style and taste so please feel free to adjust and amend the list I've provided on what to take on Alaskan cruise to suit your needs.

The post Three Reasons to Fall in Love with NOLA appeared first on Flashpacker Family Travel Blog - Travel with Kids.]]>
What is NOLA? New Orleans, Louisiana. Of course.
After visiting NOLA this November, I now understand why some many people love it. There is really something special about this city. When I told people I was visiting NOLA, they instantly gushed about New Orleans. So… why do people love New Orleans? Why is New Orleans so great?
Every corner you turn, on almost every street in the French Quarter, there is music. Musicians jamming out jazzy tunes, solo crooners, big bands stopping traffic in the middle of the street, banjos, crazy people dancing to portable stereos. Music is everywhere in New Orleans. And it's infectious.
The street music scene in NOLA really helps to set this city apart from others in the US. It doesn't seem controlled or contrived. The music blends comfortably and organically into the city. Like it's always been there. I love it. You'll find anything from a guy just singing the blues unaccompanied on a corner, a 10 piece big band jumping like mad or a lady tap dancing like crazy in a tiny bar.
Food is definitely a reason to fall in love with a place and New Orleans has some amazing food. New Orleans foods are unique compared to what you'll find to eat in the rest of the US. New Orleans cuisine is some of the most interesting I've ever tasted – Southern flavours with a French twist. Creole, cajun, I'm not sure exactly what the right term is. All I know is… yum!
There are some things that only NOLA knows how to do. Like perfectly fried crawfish, light & fluffy beignets and freshly shucked oysters on the half shell. New Orleans foods are fun to eat and go best with a glass of something in hand.
I'm going to go more into some of the great New Orleans foods in an upcoming post on a self-guided food tour of NOLA. You'll fall in love with NOLA cuisine after this. Trust me. Once you get a taste of New Orleans you'll be hooked.
The French Quarter has beautiful architecture, narrow streets and charming squares. You could wander around day and night, listening to music, admiring the colours and reading the historical plaques on the sides of buildings. Outside of the French Quarter, the Garden District makes for a beautiful drive and really puts you back in time to wonder about who lived in these magnificent mansions. Over in Tremé, small colourful houses liven up the streets and make you think about the African American history of the city.
New Orleans, in the French Quarter and Bourbon Street particularly, is a lot like Las Vegas – a city which I also love. NOLA, New Orleans is somewhere that knows what it is. Where people come to party, to have a good time. Or, as the famous New Orleans quotes say "Laissez les bon temps rouler"…. Let the good times roll.
The difference is, New Orleans feels totally authentic. Unlike Las Vegas, there's no marketing machine pumping out gimmicks to draw in the masses. NOLA just is what it is. It's cool and it knows it. I love NOLA and so, it seems, does the rest of America.

The post Where to Stay in San Francisco on a Budget appeared first on Flashpacker Family Travel Blog - Travel with Kids.]]>
Look for a hotel in the business districts. Business travel occurs mostly on Monday to Thursday nights which means hotels in the business or financial districts of big cities are relatively empty at weekends. Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights are prime nights in leisure or tourist locations but not in business hotels. You can get a much better room, at a much better price, for your weekend trip by using this tip.
Better yet, choose a hotel outside of San Francisco proper in one of the tech towns in Silicon Valley. If you're travelling by car or renting a vehicle this works really well. While it might look far on a map, the drive into the city particularly at weekends is really quick. Wondering where to stay near San Francisco? Have a look at these hotels in Silcon Valley.
We scored three nights at the Sofitel San Francisco Bay in Redwood City, just 30 minutes drive to San Francisco, for only $170 a night. Staying during the week, this same room would cost over $400 a night!
Look for gaps in calendar's on Airbnb. Many properties seem to have vacancies Monday to Thursday, indicating that it's leisure travellers using Airbnb for accommodation at weekends as opposed to business travellers. Find a few places you like the look of, check their calendars for booking gaps during the week, and send them a (polite) message saying something like this:
"I've noticed you have a gap in your calendar between Monday and Thursday this week. I love the look of your apartment but it's slightly outside my budget. Would you consider offering me a special rate since it would fill the gap in your calendar?"
Wondering where to stay cheap in San Francisco? We ended up in a sweet two-bedroom apartment in Oakland, just 20 minutes drive from downtown San Francisco, for only $130 a night! You can get a $20 coupon for your first Airbnb stay by using this link.
Split your stay into two blocks using the weekday and weekend tips above. I found it impossible to find anything decent on Airbnb available for a whole week, even looking in advance. Splitting up our week-long stay into two blocks was the most cost effective way of spending our time in San Francisco. We really enjoyed seeing two different parts of the Bay area.
We often switch hotels during the course of our stay. This is such a simple way of not blowing your budget on hotels. Now you know where to stay in San Francisco cheap! Apply this booking strategy to your trips to any big cities around the world that see both business and leisure visitors. It'll work in New York, Washington DC, Sydney, London, Auckland… you name it!

The post Swimming with Sea Turtles in Hawaii appeared first on Flashpacker Family Travel Blog - Travel with Kids.]]>
When we decided to go to Hawaii, I asked my friend Mary who lives on the Big Island… "Where can I swim with sea turtles?" As a local, I knew she would have the answer and she promptly gave me a list of where to see sea turtles in Hawaii. We saw a couple of Hawaii sea turtles sitting on the beach at Punalu'u on our way around the Big Island. We also stood right next to a sea turtle swimming in the lagoon at the Hilton Waikoloa Village. But the best experience by far was swimming with them over in Hilo!
The best place to swim with sea turtles in Hawaii's Big Island is at Carl Smith Beach Park. Carl Smith Beach Park is on the east coast of the Big Island in Hilo town. This is not a sandy beach, rather a grassy park with rocks leading down to the water. There are plenty of spots where you can step into the water from the rocks or by climbing down the stairs.
The Hawaiian word for turtle is "honu" and you'll quickly learn it as there is plenty of signage around about respecting the honu when you're at the beach park. See below for my paragraph on how to swim with turtles safely and respectfully.
There is limited parking at the beach park and it was very busy the weekend we visited. Mostly with locals, rather than tourists, many of whom were picnicking in the park or having birthday parties under the gazebos. I can imagine that visiting during the week would be much less crowded. There are restrooms, showers and drinking fountains as well.
The lava rock and surrounding reef make the water very, very calm and easy for kids to swim in. The water was a lovely temperature when we visited in January, very easy to jump straight into the water.
The Carl Smith Beach Park is by far the best place to see turtles in Hawaii that we encountered on our travels. We did see turtles on the beach in a couple of other locations on the Big Island but the weren't nearly as active or interested in humans.
Here are some pictures of us swimming with sea turtles in Hawaii. As you can see I could not stop taking photos of Reuben and his friend T swimming with the turtles. It was such a beautiful experience! Being in Hawaii swimming with turtles is an absolute must-add item for your bucket list.
Swimming with the turtles in hawaii was a dream experience. The turtles were just so friendly. We actually couldn't believe how easy going they were and how interested in the children. The two turtles we saw seemed to have no reservations about swimming up and around us as we stood and waded in the shallow water. Swimming with turtles wasn't at all scary despite the surprising size of the Hawaiian turtles when you are up this close to them. Five-year old Reuben was completely comfortable in the water with this amazing sea creatures. Along with his friend T, the two of them probably spent close to one hour in the water with the turtles.
I think this photo says it all… pure joy!
Hawaii is one of the best places to swim with sea turtles in the world. This is in part due the the fact that Hawaiian green sea turtles are respected by the Hawaiian people and protected by both state and federal laws. Please note take of all of the following guidelines for your own personal safety and the safety of the honu.
My friend Mary who lives in Hawaii has a couple of informative posts on sea turtles in Hawaii that you might like to read.

The post Where to Stay on the Big Island Hawaii appeared first on Flashpacker Family Travel Blog - Travel with Kids.]]>
As you can tell from the name, the Big Island is, well… big! You would be hard pressed to drive around it in one day and see everything you want. For this reason we recommend that, when looking where to stay on Big Island, you split your stay across three separate locations. This is easily doable if you have a week-long trip to Hawaii. Luckily, we tried and tested this strategy ourselves and it worked beautifully. We uncovered the best places to stay on the Big Island during our week-long trip and I'm going to share them with you now.
The best place to stay on the Big Island and what Big Island hotels you pick does depend somewhat on your budget. You'll find that in each best place to stay on Big Island has hotels at a range of price points but the Big Island is expensive overall so you do need to have a somewhat healthy budget to come here. I'll give you some budget, midrange and luxury alternatives so you'll know where to stay in Big Island no matter what your budget is.
Kona is the main hub on the Big Island of Hawaii. You'll find many of the island's local residents here as well as a good deal of the Big Island hotels. Kona itself doesn't have much in the way of beaches but it makes an excellent gateway to the Big Island. Kona town is very cute with lovely restaurants and has many of the island's tours and attractions like the Atlantis Submarine Kona (stay tuned for an upcoming post on this!) and Manta Ray snorkelling at night.
We think this is best place to stay in Kona Hawaii. The Sheraton Kona sits in a prime spot, south just south of Kona town, surrounded by black lava rock and crashing waves. The hotel is very 70s but was renovated in 2012 and has beautiful Hawaiian decor. The Sheraton Kona has an amazing pool area with waterfalls, a sandy-bottomed kids pool and an epic waterslide. Check out my Youtube video of us going down the waterslide! We saw dolphins playing from our oceanfront room, fabulous sunsets and enjoyed sipping a cup of Kona coffee on the balcony each morning. It really is one of the best places to stay in Kona Hawaii if you can afford it. Check prices and availability at the Sheraton Kona here.
If the Sheraton isn't available or within your budget, here are some other ideas on where to stay in Kona Hawaii:
Big Island Travel Tip
You can fly direct to Kona from Anchorage, Denver, Los Angeles, Oakland, Phoenix, Portland (OR), San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, Seattle and Vancouver. Within Hawaii you can fly to Kona from Honolulu, Kahalui (Maui), Kapalua (Maui) and Ho'olehua (Molokai). Click here to search for flights in Kona (Kailua) airport.
In order to explore the "other" side of the Big Island, you need to stay for at least 1-2 nights in Hilo. This will allow you to explore the Volcanoes National Park, swim with turtles and see some of the "wet" side of the island's best natural attractions like Akaka Falls.
Deciding on places to stay in Hilo Hawaii isn't as easy as on the other side of the island. There are less hotels on the East coast of the Big Island.
Big Island Travel Tip
Tip: You can actually fly into Hilo from Honolulu, Kahalui (Maui) or Los Angeles. Click here to search for flights into Hilo.
Finish your Hawaiian vacation with a relaxing stay at a Big Island resort in Waikoloa. You'll find the most beautiful resorts on the island here as well as water sports and activities like whale watching and glass bottom boat tours. Waikoloa is also the easiest point to access the Big Island's nicest beaches.
You won't find a bigger, more beautiful hotel than the Hilton Waikoloa Village. It's easily one of the best places to stay on the Big Island of Hawaii… maybe even in the whole of the Hawaiian Islands. This is a huge resort, so big in fact that there's a monorail and boat shuttle to help you get around. There are two large pool areas with water slides but the most alluring part of the resort is the lagoon in it's centre. Swimming the this sandy bottomed lagoon is a real treat, especially when you spot a turtle swimming right next you. The Hilton Waikoloa Village also has the best luau on the Big Island which is a must for an evening of Hawaiian culture, food and entertainment.
There are plenty of hotels and resorts to choose from in Waikoloa Village on the Big Island. They're not cheap but a few luxury nights will round out your Hawaiian vacation and help you relax before returning home.
Do let me know if you need any further guidance on the best place to stay on the Big Island in Hawaii. I'd be happy to help you pick the best Big Island hotel for your Hawaii trip.
We absolutely loved the week we spent on the Big Island this year. I can't wait to share more of this magical place with you. Stay tuned as I have posts coming up on:

This is not a packing list for travelling with carry on luggage only. I'll be writing that post soon. This post covers what to pack in a carry on bag when you're also checking luggage. These airplane carry on essentials should all fit into a small tote, purse or backpack and could be carried in addition to a carry on suitcase if you do choose to travel without checked luggage.
Deciding what to pack in your carry on bag is important. Think about all the items you need on hand when you're onboard a plane for up to 12 hours at a time.
You can download a printable version of my carry on packing list at the bottom of this post.
Toiletries are definitely a carry on essentials for overseas flight, especially if you're transiting or flying at night. Remember that any liquids you bring on board must but under 100ml or 3 oz.
When it comes to electronics, what to bring in your carry on depends on how long you're away for and your style of travel. Don't feel you have to bring everything on this list. Just add the things you feel you need for your trip. You should pack all your valuable electronics in your carry on for security reasons.
If you're travelling with your family you'll be wondering what to pack in carry on for kids. All the above items can be shared across the entire family but there are a few extras things to pack in a carry on bag to keep your kids happy. For more tips on flying with toddlers, read this post.
Download my carry on essentials list to help make packing for your trip easier. This carry on bag checklist will keep you organised and help you pack light. Print out my checklist for carry on bag packing and mark off the items as you pack.
Download: Carry on essentials checklist
Know you know what to put in a carry on bag, let me tell you how to pack it! Your carry on luggage needs to be organised so you can put your hand in your bag and pull out exactly what you need without having to dig around for ages. I like to keep my carry on necessities organised into sections using packing cubes or Ziploc bags.
Now that you know what to put in your carry on bag, here are some ideas on the type of carry on bag to bring on your travels. Here are four different options for you to select from based on what tip of trip you're taking:
All the items above should fit in a larger sized hand bag.
A backpack is a great option for your carry on bag, especially if you have kids and need to keep your hands free in the airport. If you're not travelling carry on luggage only, I'd go with one of two options.
If you're not planning on walking a lot on your travels, using a tote on the plane is a great option. They're super stylish and you can fit a tonne of stuff in them. The downside is they're not that useful as a day bag once you get to your destination. A tote plus the Travelon purse I mention above would be a great combo.
Everything I've included on this list of what to put in your carry on bag would more than fit into a carry on sized suitcase. I would only choose a suitcase as carry on if I were travelling without checked luggage. If you want to travel carry on only, you do get to take a personal item on board as well. I suggest using a purse for all your smaller items and squeezing your laptop into your carry on suitcase.
If you've got questions or comments on what to put in a carry on bag, just let me know. You can leave a comment below or send me through a message on Facebook. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have about what to put in carry on luggage or packing in general.
If you've got an idea for some essentials for carry on bag that I haven't included in my list, I'd be happy to hear them. Just leave a comment below.

The post Family Villa Holidays Are A Fantastic Idea! Here's Why… appeared first on Flashpacker Family Travel Blog - Travel with Kids.]]>
We spent a month in a villa in Orlando and it was a great decision. We had all the comfort of home in a resort setting plus plenty of room for the kids and grandma. Here are the five reasons I think you should rent a villa on your next vacation. I've included some pictures of our place in Orlando to help convince you!
Choosing a holiday villa will save you money compared to hotels. Especially if you've got a large group of family travelling together. When you're travelling as a family with one or two kids you might be able to squish into a hotel room but add in grandma & grandpa plus sisters or cousins and you're looking at at least three to four hotel rooms. Renting a larger villa means spreading to cost of one property over everyone enjoying the vacation. If you calculate the rate per person, it almost always works out cheaper than hotels. You can find plenty of Orlando villas on Top Villas and they are a much better option than hotels at Disneyworld. You can spend more on enjoying the activities you want to do at the theme park and less on the hotel room! Huge Savings on Disney World Tickets, BUY NOW!
Renting an entire villa means extra privacy. No housekeepers poking around. No noisy hotel guests coming home at 3am. No sharing the pool with a bunch of rowdy teenagers. By choosing your own villa you'll have dedicated space to relax and be together as a family without distractions.
When you've got your own holiday villa you can totally go at your own pace. No rushing down for hotel breakfast before 10am. No parking in a car park miles from your hotel room. No pushy timeshare sales people trying to get you to sign up for something every time you pass them in the lobby.
When you're travelling, eating out for three meals a day can get very expensive. With little kids, it's also a lot of work to get them to sit still in a restaurant for meals. Having your own villa means you can prepare simple dishes at home. Eating breakfast while the kids potter around and play is much more relaxing than the stress of dealing with a restaurant first thing in the morning.
Space to spread out is the best reason to rent a villa! When you're travelling with extended family you want to enjoy each other's company but you also want your own personal time to relax. You can spend your evenings drinking wine and playing board games together and then retire to your own room for a good night's sleep. 0% chance of being woken up by grandpa's snoring! Many villas also have outdoor space which is a fantastic bonus for families.
Are you convinced? Let me know if you plan on renting a villa next time you take a family holiday with your brood or with extended family.

I am just beginning the process of filing for a SNT we have for our son... late as usual... 2011. We have a major fund raiser every year that raises $50K at this point... all donations are $5000 or less... $50, $25, $100, $500....

If a beneficiary of a trust is not receiving any government aide or SSI disability can they be bound to a special needs trust,or can a special needs be implemented?
A friend of mine is on SSI disability and last month her father passed away. Her brother is handling the executor role and he has called to let her know that the insurance policy is written such that the company is breaking the funds into equal parts divided among her siblings. Her brother has let her know that he needs her to send back the funds right away to pay for the deceased debts and doesn't expect there to be any remaining funds from the repayment of the debts.I have a few questions.1. I saw that you are allowed to have $2000 in resources while on SSI. This payment from the insurance company will be around $13,000. This money will be sent back to her brother to pay debts as soon as she receives the check. What steps will my friend need to take to protect her SSI benefits. My friend is having great anxiety over this issue and the more detailed the explanation the better for her peace of mind. She needs a step-by-step approach.2. What is the best way to document the return of the monies so that she can prove she doesn't have the resource.3. Will there be any tax issues with this insurance money. My friend will have the funds for a couple days at most before they are sent off to her brother to pay debts.
when establishing a special needs trust ssi disable son, the grantor (his father)has died but left a life insurance policy payable to beneficiary(my son). The trust agreement calls name of the grantor who would the grantor be if using the life insurance to establish the trust. I his mother would be the trustee. Also Article 5.1 in the state of Florida what are the governing laws they are asking for? In my studies I have found requirements social security and federal omnibus law statutes in this trust. can the grantor and trustee be same person? paragraph 2.1 whose death would be listed?
will I have to give up my ssi disability and medicade from being bought out from my mothers home estate
Can you please provide me with a template or a sample for a Special Needs Trust? Because funds are low, I need to try to draft this myself first and then I will search for a flat fee lawyer to review for me.
Juris Doctorate
My mother got a brain aneurism a year and half ago. And she hasn't been able to communicate. She cannot care for herself and is in a Sub-Acute care location. Since her incident I have been paying her credit card, utility, storage and mortgage bills. She does not have any income (no Social Security, no SSI, no Disability, no pension, etc), no assets (other than clothes and small items in her storage <$1,000 worth of stuff). Her house is worth a little less than what she owes on it. But we currently live in the home, because it was always her intent to leave it to me, since I have been paying the mortgage before her incident. If we rented the house out, we would probably have to pay out of pocket to cover the mortgage. So, my question is, what is my best course of action? I am going to go file for a conservatorship, but if she doesn't have any income and only expenses, how am I going to handle her finances properly? Currently I pay all her bills out of my pocket (with no little help from my sisters). The only bills of my mother that my sisters pay, are the credit card she let them use when she was well. Since my sisters are all in an agreement, would it be possible to take over her house and payments? Will the court allow it? She doesn't have a will or trust. But someone told me to get conservatorship and then create a trust for here with me as a benefactor. Will the court allow this? I don't want to lose the house. Or at the very least will the court allow me to try to refinance her home to pay off her bills? Will they allow me to take out a loan to pay off bills? Since she is living in a sub-acute care facility, will the court make a change in the living arrangements since she is not living in the home herself? Or will that make a difference in trying to transfer the home in my name?
My 82 yr old mother is the trustee for her younger disabled sister, both in Texas. The younger sister receives SSI disability Federal assistance. They will be inheriting 3 properties in Texas along with 2 other siblings. The properties are in great disrepair and will not likely bring the property tax value (total $110K) if and when they are sold. A relative suggested the younger sister should "relinquish her inheritance rights" to protect her disability status. Is this wise? How do we do this in Texas?

Mere Apparent
Isabelle Adjani and Daniel Day-Lewis Have Great Expectations
Indeed, in recent weeks, Adjani has been seen floating in and out of Bonpoint, a baby boutique near her Paris home. Day-Lewis, who hasn't made a movie since 1993's In the Name of the Father, hasn't been seen much at all. In fact the two see each other only occasionally. She lives in a Left Bank mansion, he in a castle outside Dublin. They communicate by phone and fax.
Adjani, long known as high-strung, neurotic—or, at the very least, unlikely to remove her sunglasses—met Day-Lewis, no stranger to eccentricity himself, in 1989. Soon after, she left Paris for what she called an "honest and pure" life with Day-Lewis in London. After they broke up two years later, though, she said the relationship was "like an experimental film about love, shown in only one cinema, in English, with subtitles."
Their film did have fitful sequels. Adjani and Day-Lewis have since been spotted together. Last spring she told a French newspaper, "I think that people we have loved we always love." In late July she and Day-Lewis were ensemble in St.-Rémy-de-Provence. Adjani's child is reportedly due in April.
Though Day-Lewis has no children, Adjani has a 15-year-old son, Barnabé, who lives most of his time with his father, French cineast Bruno Nuytten, the director of Camille Claudel. "She hasn't been exactly what you'd call maternal," says a source. "But she had her first child a long time ago. It could be very different this time."

Super convenient, easy to use, great customers service
This service is great! We stayed at the Disney Resort where as most know food prices are a major expense. I bought snacks, breakfast food,bottled water,and other canned drinks. Definitely helped saved money by not having to buy snacks in the park. They brought it to our room on our first day and even got there early. I definitely will use this service on our next trip to Orlando!

He's still an incredible hunk! Eric Bana, 45, shows off his buff body as he enjoys a family holiday in Melbourne
He's gearing up for the release of two new major blockbusters this year.
But it looks as though actor Eric Bana has been spending most of his spare time working over time in the gym.
The 45-year-old father of two was pictured showing off his impressive body, while on holiday with his family in Melbourne just days before Christmas.
Still got it: Eric Bana, 45, and his daughter Sophia enjoy some downtime in Melbourne, Australia on 23 December
Hulk star Eric was spotted gibing a paddle boarding lesson to his two children Sophia and Klaus, while his wife Rebecca Gleeson looked on.
The actor most recently starred in new movie Lone Survivor which came out on 27 December.
But this summer will see Eric star in the horror thriller Deliver Us from Evil.
An incredible hunk: Eric - who starred as Bruce Banner in Hulk - showed off his body body while paddle boarding in the sea
Family time: Eric, and his wife Rebecca Gleeson, relax on a beach in Melbourne, Australia
Getting board: Eric and his daughter make their way off the beach after trying out some paddle boarding in the sea
Summer holidays: Eric and his family were enjoying the summer sun in Australia as they enjoyed some downtime before Christmas
Balancing act: Eric and his daughter both enjoyed the paddle-boarding exercise as they went for a splash together
However, Eric's buff physique could be put down to his work on the movie Lone Surivor.
The actor recently revealed in an interview that director Peter Berg had a training plan in place for the actor.
'He kind of left me alone, actually. I prepared back home in Australia. He knew I wasn't going to turn up weighing 300 pounds, we had mutual respect.'
'We didn't go toe-to-toe in the boxing ring or anything like that but he's just fantastic to work with.'
'He's got a great energy, you know, he comes to the set like he's come off his horse and he's ready for battle. He's just fantastic.'
Taking a lesson: Eric ventured out with his daughter to enjoy a day of paddle boarding
Buff Bana: Eric showed off his impressive physique as he took to the water before Christmas

"Jesus of Nazareth, the Grand Master of our order, appeared at a time when the world was in the utmost Disorder, and among a people who for ages had groaned under the yolk of Bondage. He taught them the lessons of reason. To be more effective, he took the aid of Religion--of opinions which were current--and in a very clever manner, he combined his secret doctrines with he popular religion, and with the customs which lay to his hand. In these he wrapped up his lessons --he taught by parables. Never did any prophet lead men so easily and so securely along the road to liberty. He concealed the precious meaning and consequences of his doctrines; but fully disclosed them to a chosen few.
Does not have
clue as to what the Teaching of Jesus was.
1) Jesus taught Revelation,
reason. It was the Pharisees who thought that they could understand the Revelations on the basis of human reason. They were wrong. And they are wrong today. The understanding that the Doctrine of "resurrection" is a Doctrine of 'Rebirth', and that Chapter 26, verse 19 of the
Book of Isaiah
is a figurative description of the revelation of the memories of previous lives is understood by those who have themselves
that Revelation.
2) What Jesus taught were not
"secret doctrines". His Teaching consisted of Knowledge Revealed through the Vision of the "Son of man" and the Revelation of "the resurrection"; also received by Moses, Isaiah, Daniel and Ezekiel. Much of that could already be found in the previous Revelations.
3) "liberty" was not the purpose of the Teaching of Jesus. His focus was on the Knowledge of Truth.
In short, the "precious meaning and consequences of his doctrines" was
concealed from Adam Weishaupt.
He did teach reasons ! the laws of the Pharisees were getting so bogged down where a man couldnt even pull out his bull if it had gotten stuck in the ground, if the day happened to be on a sabbath. Thats why, during his day he called them white washed graves.
A Warning Against Hypocrisy
(Matthew 23)
23 Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: 2 "The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat. 3 So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. 4 They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
5 "Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries[a] wide and the tassels on their garments long; 6 they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; 7 they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called 'Rabbi' by others.

Penny Mustard to relocate its Brookfield store
Penny Mustard, the furniture chain formerly called P.M. Bedroom Gallery, will shift its Brookfield store to new quarters on Saturday.
The retailer has leased the former Flanner's Home Entertainment building, 16220 W. Blue Mound Road. The change will give Penny Mustard 26,400 square feet of space in a high-profile, roadside location.
The current Brookfield store, which will be used for the next several months as a clearance center, occupies 11,000 square feet in a retail center at W. Blue Mound and N. Calhoun Roads.
Penny Mustard operates two other furniture stores in suburban Milwaukee and four in suburban Chicago.

Customers can make payments from the couch using their remote controls.
Manufacturer LG Electronics Inc. has added eBay Inc.'s PayPal online payment service to its Smart TVs, it says. Smart TVs are connected to the Internet to enable streaming content, web browsing and e-commerce, among other online tasks. Shoppers can use the payment service by signing into their PayPal accounts to access saved account information or enter new billing details with their remote controls.
"PayPal significantly reduces the number of steps the user has to take in order to complete a transaction, saving them time by eliminating the need to enter credit card and address details for each subsequent purchase," says Richard Choi, senior vice president of the Smart Business Center at LG. "Moving forward, it will also make it possible for LG to better integrate digital commerce with first-class home entertainment."
For now, LG Smart TV owners can use PayPal to buy apps or games, for $0.99 to $6.00, or 3D movies, for $4.59 to $7.99, says Matthew Durgin, director, Smart TV content, LG Electronics USA.
Eventually the payments service will open up to additional uses, according to the PayPal blog. "This new functionality is welcome news to charities and advertisers looking to engage a whole new audience at a time when they're receptive to donate or purchase," writes Randall Davies, senior director of global business development at PayPal "We believe the television is a natural outlet for commerce and we're excited about bringing the ease, security and functionality of PayPal to this new experience."
The payments option is already available on 2013 LG Smart TVs for consumers in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, LG says. It will continue rolling out on new Smart TVs in other countries, starting this month with France, Italy, Germany, Spain and Australia, the company says.
LG selected PayPal because it's trusted in online transactions, Durgin says. The company is expanding the payment options on its Smart TVs, he says, but doesn't yet have any other new additions to announce. There are 123 million active users of PayPal worldwide, according to PayPal, which is part of eBay Inc.

We've Been Closing Ziplock Bags Wrong Our Entire Lives
Sometimes, the internet's viral lifehacks just don't apply to our daily lives. Sure, it's cool that you can wash 100 potatoes all at once in the dishwasher, but that doesn't really make our daily grind any easier.
Thanks to Slate, we just learned a new kitchen tip that we will actually use immediately. Basically, we have been closing Ziplock bags incorrectly since our elementary school days.
We all know to try and get some of the air out — otherwise we're stuck with a huge space-filling air bubble — but there's an even better way to ensure that your plastic baggie takes up as little room as possible in the fridge or in your lunch. And you don't need any special tools, either.
All you have to do is close most of the zip. Then, open a small hole and use your mouth to suck out any residual air. Raise your hand if you just had a major aha moment! We know we did! Check out Slate's video for the full tutorial.

Dedicated to creating a new groove-based music, THE DIGS embody the unique perspective of diversity that could only come from Canada's multicultural melting pot, Toronto. To dig is to extract from the ground by breaking up earth, and The Digs are a band reaching down into the roots of American pop music and pulling up a vibrant sound that is an organically constructed embarrassment of riches. Ultimately, The Digs consist of close friendships built upon the love of music, and the love for one another, and it is this dedication which gives them a consistently renewed energy with each jam-packed gig, each infectious groove, each funky beat. Catch The Digs while you can!
Songwriter turned solo artist Phoebe Ryan's star is set to burn brighter than ever in 2015. A powerful voice in every feature, Phoebe's energy and charisma strikes frequent comparison to the likes of Tove Lo and other Scandinavian pop artists. Her cover mash of R.Kelly and Miguel quickly climbed to the #1 spot on Hype Machine and now counts almost 150k plays on Soundcloud. Now Phoebe's ready to share her personal sound and the first taste is "Mine".
"Mine" is upbeat and clever, dancing on the line between electronica and pop and backed by explosive instrumentals and memorable melodies. Phoebe's knack for great hooks and boldly feminist lyrics prove she's ready to bring new life to the pop genre.
The Gotobeds delivered smart, noisy rock in spades on their album 'Blood//Sugar//Secs//Traffic'.
For more than 12 years, Marissa Nadler has perfected her own take on the exquisitely sculpted gothic American songform.
On her seventh full-length, Strangers, she has shed any self-imposed restrictions her earlier albums adhered to, stepped through a looking glass, and created a truly monumental work.

Trina Sneaker Mule
By NANNY
from Shreveport, La.
About Me Conservative
I am Diabetic and have VERY sensitive feet. I took a chance on these because they were on sale and I must say I am REALLY HAPPY with them.
I am enjoying this shoe. Very comfortable for my needs.

Very comfortable!
By J. Taylor
from Illinois
These are very comfortable and not at all snug. I would advise buying a half size smaller than you think you need.
My shoe of choice for the past five years or more.
By Wheels
from Ocala, Fl.
I am handicapped so the easy on/off is perfect. The colors, although the I'd love more, compliment most of my clothes...slacks & shirts. Again, being unstable on my feet, the width of these shoes & the height of the heel rim is important. My podiatrist has given his thumbs up on my wearing the Trina Mules. NEVER STOP SELLING THESE SHOES.One further thought...they wash well...cold water & dry in the sun!
Comfy Shoe
By Nanamama
from Ohio
Trying to replicate a KEDS mule I had years ago. These come pretty close. I have medium to narrow feet and a very narrow heel, but these fit my foot better than most shoes. they are comfy and easy to get on.

great sneaker mule. didn't need "break in" time. comfy convenient.
So sad!
By Grammy of 3
from Middletown, NY
Really liked these, but even the extra wide width was not wide enough!!
received these in the mail yesterday. URGH
By Jean is UNHAPPY
Brand new out of the box, the insoles were loose. I tried to put them back in. I'll try again later, after I trim them and get some good glue. There were glue blobs here and there. SOooooooooooooooooooooooooooo dissatisfied. I bet if I'd got an inspected pair, where the manufacturing goofs were caught I might have been happy. Sure, it says I can return them for a replacement. I shouldn't have to. I JUST GOT THEM. WILL NEVER SHOP AT JESSICA LONDON AGAIN.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
