Welcome Home

Well over the next 12 hours, families from our Alaskan Cruise, Turks & Caicos, and Jamaica will trudge through their own front doors. Likely the maid service will not have followed, but I hope everyone arrived home safe and sound and are ready to share the tales of your trips. If you are brave enough to blog about it, let me know and I can get you all set up. And if you have any photos to share—please send me a link! But welcome back and thank you! In terms…

The New Look of Single Parent Travel

Well, it has been a long time coming but we have launched a new look for SPT. Hopefully it will be a cleaner, less clutteres experience for you and add a bunch of new features!
