Why be a princess when you can be the pharaoh!

We are taking a break from Disney (thank god for small mercies), and are currently fascinated by all things ancient Egyptian - including pyramids, mummies, and ofcourse the enigmatic Cleopatra.

A Magical Vacay!

So guess who finally talked us into a Disneyland vacation! Enough travel and blog sites out there to give you the complete picture. Here's what I learnt.

- 5 is the perfect age for Disneyland (the one in CA) - old enough to be up the whole day - no naps. Young enough to be strapped in a stroller and rolled around. Understands delayed gratification - patience - wait to enjoy - She also knew most of the characters and references and had a total blast.

- 4 days is the perfect time to explore both the parks without overdoing it on a single day! The monday after thanksgiving is a great time to plan your Disney vacation!

- M continues to be the best - most pleasant, most patient travel companion. Knock on wood. She is a delight to be with and an excellent observation power! SHe makes vacations extra fun!

- And finally this child's lust for travel is going to burn a big hole in our pockets!!! Cheers to the bets of times!

(Fun fact: Vish and I first visited Disneyland exactly 10 years ago - down to the month!)
