Few days ago, a facebook friend Sunita posted about taking unpaid leave to travel. Well, I certainly would do it. Life is too short to spend in one place, right?
After marriage and kids, travel seems to be a distant dream, but believe me, we need to go out there, take the kids off their gadgets and start looking around you instead of glued to the HD screen.
My 13 and 11 years old boys are just like any other boys who prefer lounging around and play games in their gadgets during holidays.

Last summer we went to Hong Kong, which they enjoyed. We still laugh at how my younger son kept disappearing to explore the stalls in the Temple street night market or any other places we visited.
The boys enjoyed reading GPS map to find our Big bus stop. The younger one was fascinated by double decker busses and always made us sit in the upper deck.
How we were all so worried during our day trip to Shenzhen when one couple in our group was detained in the immigration because he forgot to bring their return air ticket.

Even though they were tired of walking around in Hong Kong summer heat, they still enjoyed street shows and looking around.

They learned that there are more interesting and exciting things to see and to do out there then looking at their gadgets.

Yes, travel will definitely enrich you as a person, as a family. Give your children memories to treasure.
What about you? Where are you heading this winter?
Until then,
