Travelling overseas with young ones in tow is never easy. But local TV host
Diana Ser braced herself and did it anyway.
Together with her husband, former actor James Lye, and their three children,
the family of five escaped for a quick weekend getaway to Bintan Island Club
Med Resort in Indonesia last November.
It was especially memorable because it was the first trip for their youngest
daughter Jaymee, who was less than a year old at the time. Their eldest, Jake,
is six, and middle child, Christy, is four.
For Ser, Bintan's location and all-inclusive nature of the destination
helped her decide on the ideal family holiday.
The 39-year-old told The New Paper: "Logistically, it's not so easy to move
as there's so many of us together. Bintan was easy to get to.
"Even something as simple as the ferry ride was a big deal for the
children."

available for children around his age range at the resort.
It's a one-stop destination for the family, from taking care of the baby to the
food to leisure activities.
One fun part of the trip was a sunny, outdoor barbecue party held at one of the
resort's lawns. A brass band entertained the guests while children were kept
occupied playing football and making tie-dye T-shirts and kites.
Junita Simon in Barcelona, Spain
Her maiden trip to Barcelona was just three days long. So model-host Junita
Simon, 35, wanted to make the most of her time there.
Back in April 2009, Simon visited her husband, aesthetics doctor Amal Dass,
who was then living in Britain. He surprised her with a quick trip to Barcelona
and the couple flew to the Spanish city for three days.
Most of their time was spent visiting the city's architectural wonders.
Sagrada Familia, a Roman Catholic church
"One of my favourite places was Sagrada Familia, a Roman Catholic church,"
said Simon. The church, Antoni Gaudi's unfinished masterpiece, is a United
Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation world heritage
site.
La Pedrera (The Quarry)
La pedrera was completed in 1912, and thought to be a controversial design
at the time.
Montserrat

enjoy the view.
