Next year will be a very busy year for us. Apart from some planned holidays since we didn’t do so much this year, I am looking to attend a conference quite a distance away and hoping that the kids can come too. But we also have a scheduled trip to the West so I’m not sure if we can afford to do both in one year. Maybe we might defer that to the following year? See what happens…..

I remember our last trip to New York involved SO MUCH PLANNING and that was only with ONE CHILD and in the end, I just left it to the travel agent to organise the routes and flights. However, I’m going to have to start planning these long haul flights again and pack, oh God, packing for kids on long haul flights……TWO at that. *shivers*

We have 36 hours and 15 hours and then all the connecting flights between cities, and my in-laws just gave instruction to take them to Bali. My Mom wants to go to Perth next year too. I think we will be eating sardines and plain rice for the following year. Confirmed.

What more? I need to worry about food and accommodation. It’s frigging not easy at all, I’m telling ya! It’s not like we’re millionaires with self accommodation all over the world! Thus I actually have to source for hotels and make bookings for all routes of our journeys plus think ahead of meal plans for my little fussy eater.

When we brought T1 to New York, she was almost OK to eat whatever we ate (usually take-away Chinese or burgers and fries!) but when we were in Orlando, we stayed at the Holiday Inn (with Tok-Tok’s discount, phew!) and she ate oatmeal porridge for the entire week in Orlando!!! We even brought back oatmeal sachets so she could continue her oatmeal saga in New York. I’m cracking my head to think what the best back up meal plans are for T2. She has never been on a long haul flight and has not ventured beyond Australia. So difficult travelling with kids!

So. To all you frequent travellers out there, do you have any tips? The last time we went on a long haul flight with a kid was 3 years ago. Australia is not considered long haul……I need help with accommodation for Paris, and Athens; I think I have all other cities covered. I need flight tips, packing tips, food tips etc.

How-How???

Who is Mamapumpkin?
Mamapumpkin spent 7 years in London committing crimes to gain her Bartlett degree in Architecture. She then spent 7 years as a Stay At Home Mom raising her children as documented in this blog of over 15 years thereafter returning to the Corporate World stronger than ever as the Country Director of a British Multinational. She sets out to prove to all, that you can have anything and everything that you want; if you have that fire of desire burning within and the drive to work hard. Even better with much love.

Mamapumpkin has not only grown corporate businesses successfully in the past but has grown not one but TWO network marketing businesses in the notorious MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) industry, achieving success in under 2 years. She believes in the MLM business model but realises the DRASTIC PITFALLS and great stigma attached to it, understanding EXACTLY WHY the majority would shy away (or RUN for their lives) from ANY MLM business. But open your eyes and take time to understand it intellectually, remove your hang-ups, confirm your research, and you may just want to seize an opportunity. She did. And no, she never went about chasing people for sales. She had a sophisticated system work for her through technology and a smartphone.

She now impacts lives authentically with proven strategies amassed through the last decade of her own transformation offering online coaching programmes and always supports the underprivileged. She believes that we can all have a life of our own desires to enable real contribution into the world. But first, one needs to understand what this all means.

A beautiful life without limits.

If you wish to learn some tools to propel your life forward guaranteed, be brave enough to make contact as her life's purpose is to build people. She operates through a discovery call after which she will commit to helping you. Or not.

Most lose out on an opportunity because they are afraid they would be sold to, conned or whatever fear resides in their brain without even trying. And that's on them.

Mamapumpkin is a living testimony that women really can have a lot. Being financially and time free has enabled her to travel the world anytime, anywhere, doing anything, and she spends most of her days with her children, having fun, and supporting others wherever she can. Also having fun.
