Dream Travel Destinations: San Diego, California

We have two milestone events in the Prada household this year, one big birthday and one big wedding anniversary! With that in mind we would really like to go away somewhere special and not the usual package holiday! 

I've always wanted to go to California, so I've been dreaming of where we can go and what balance we can strike with the adults having a memorable trip but also keeping the little ones occupied. I've been checking out San Diego vacation homes, where the best beaches are, wine tasting at the vineyards! And obviously a few child-friendly places.

What to See and Do in My Favourite Italian City, Mantova

What to See and Do in My Favourite Italian City, Mantova

Great Italian Cities: Mantova

Many years ago not long after Mr Prada and I were married, we went on an Italian road trip.  What is most surprising is that we were still married at the end of the trip as we always argue in the car! This is of course his fault rather than mine! Being in a car with an Italian, especially when they are suddenly back in their homeland means all sorts of insane driving practices seep out! How we got to Mantova is beyond me but it is one of our most memorable trips.
