We are an early 30s couple who are passionate about travel and exploring the world. Though we originally came up with the name “This Dinky Life” based on the acronym for Dual Income, No Kids Yet, we also love the play on words and the irony of it all. Merriam-Webster defines “dinky” as “overly or unattractively small,” and this life is anything but.

We’ve started this channel predominantly as a way to document our life and adventures. Along the way, we hope to inspire others to discover the beauty of traveling and provide some useful travel tips as well.

Can you give some rough idea of how long y'all pedaled. I'm going to be going there with my parents and they are concerned about the battery dying. I love to use the example that you were pregnant and had no issues. If you can remember, that would be awesome.

Maybe 5 hours? The battery definitely didn't die lol. You can also kick it down to the setting that uses less battery too if you don't need the assistance.

Amazing children center and activity provided to the kids in this beautiful and family oriented hotel.

Hello from Sugar Land, Texas.

@ThisDINKYLife Месяц назад
Hi neighbor! There were areas of the children's center we didn't even explore because it's restricted to those kids being dropped off. Our daughter did not like being left at Lino Land. She is in daycare now so would probably do much better the next time we go.

Thank you for sharing this review, my family and I are headed there this weekend and this helped us align on the resort and its offerings. Question for you, most videos I have watched about the Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana, it never seems more than 50% occupied, was that the case during your visit? I want to know if I will need to really get up early to get good chairs by the pools since we have our kids.
@ThisDINKYLife
@ThisDINKYLife 2 месяца назад
We can't speak to what it's like during the busy season since we went in December, but securing a chair was never a problem in December. Perhaps another reason it never seems fully occupied is because there are 2 separate areas where guests split their time - the pool area and the water park area. Enjoy your trip!
