Dispatch from the Mosh Pit: Foo Fighters in Singapore

By 1 Comment

Back in 2012, Dan and I were about to fly off to Singapore to watch the Foo Fighters when the band postponed the concert and the rest of their Asian leg because Dave Grohl, the band's frontman had issues with his vocal chords. If w?as a huge hassle but we decided to push through with the trip. We bought one more ticket for David and we had an instant family vacation. Flash forward to 5 years. Around May 2017, the band announced a few dates in Asia and yep they had a date for Singapore. I … [Continue reading]

Doing a Decathlon

By Leave a Comment

And by Decathlon I mean the huge French athletic goods retailer who is also the largest sporting goods retailer in the world. They opened their first store in the Philippines in Festival Mall and Dan and I got to check it out last week. I'm not a sports fan at all but I am a huge fan of shopping and Decathlon is a paradise for buying reasonably priced gear for all types of sports.

Must Have Travel Apps for #TeamSantos!

By Leave a Comment

We had our first family trip (sans yaya!) when we travelled to Osaka from May 31- June 4. Dan and I wanted to prepare for the trip as much as we can. It was our first time travelling with Noah and we wanted to be sure our kiddos are comfortable, safe and that we thought ahead of all their needs. Planning was easy for us because we went with a group of good friends who knew Osaka already and had little kids too. We planned our itinerary so it wasn't so stressful for the kids (and ultimately … [Continue reading]
