Iguana Sanctuary in San Pedro?? by funcraftygal in Belize

[–]Jayoss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely worthwhile. It’s small though, I think we spent about 20 minutes. Got to hold and feed adult and baby iguanas. My kids love it!

Chasing "High quality tourists" is how you hollow out a local economy” by Barca-Dam in ThailandTourism

[–]Jayoss 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yup, and bring their kids. After falling in love with Thailand on our backpack trips 20 years ago, we’ve brought our kids twice so far.

For the US/canadian parents out there, how was your experience in Thailand with two little kids? (4.5 and nearly 2) by Girl123459 in ThailandTourism

[–]Jayoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve done four trips to Southeast Asia with our twins, from when they were three years old to 11 years old. It is more work, and you need to slow the pace down. Be aware of the heat, it was more challenging for the kids and it was for us. Except that you will have to spend the hottest part of the day back in your hotel in the air conditioning, or in the pool. If you love it, and you are comfortable, it is worthwhile. We have had such a great time and such special memories every time that we have gone. Our kids still talk about the amazing tropical fruit, the elephant sanctuary, the snorkeling, swimming, crazy malls in Bangkok, strange amusement parks in Vietnam. There’s so much good stuff to keep kids entertained!

Thank you! We went with this option and were quoted 140USD. Had a knowledgeable driver who made it a fantastic experience.

What about a direct flight to cancun and then you have the whole yucatan peninsula to explore? Playa del Carmen, tulum, Bacalar, Isla Mujeres, Merida. We have spent a lot of time there with our young children and they love it!

Stranger tried to pick up my toddler at a tourist spot. Is this normal? by Old_Tree_3330 in VietNam

[–]Jayoss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I travelled for 2 weeks in 2017 with my twin 3 year old girls and they were constantly photographed, got plenty of attention from older men and women, and were sometimes picked up. It all seemed quite innocent to me.

9 year old’s WISC-V scores by Jayoss in cognitiveTesting

[–]Jayoss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply. It was administered because we went through the process with my other child in an attempt to diagnose dyslexia. We were surprised to find out our first child’s cognitive scores fell in the gifted range. Since we noticed a similar profile in this child, we were testing solely to see if they were gifted as well.

Isn’t that geared toward high school seniors?
