Contents Welcome to our Toddlers & Travel issue
It’s our Toddlers and Travel Issue, so I’ve gone the extra mile for you guys and pulled the kids out of school and childcare and taken the entire family (five of us) to Bali so I can speak with certainty of expectations vs reality. We got a super cheap deal to stay in a 4-star hotel for a week for $600 with what we thought was an internet scam but turned out to be a Ponzi scheme. All we had to do was attend a one-hour ‘information session’ about their resorts and travel deals and then just ‘extend our mortgage’ to buy into the offer - bargain!

... “When are we going home?” If you are planning a family holiday I’d recommend studying this issue carefully and learn from experts who remember to pack the correct charger for the iPads and don’t consider an authentic cultural experience making the kids watch PJ Masks dubbed in the local dialect! Yours in terimah kasih,

Luckily, we are waaaay too poor to participate in a ‘not to be missed opportunity’; we’ve been missing opportunities for years! Ha! The food is delicious, the weather divine and it’s nice hearing my kids whine in a new location.
