Let’s just cut to the chase. $5000 is a lot of money and it’s hard to justify spending that kind of cash on anything, let alone a cocktail…. or even four. But the purchase on the infamous Kaiburr Crystal onboard the Disney Wish is much more than just an adult beverage wrapped in a camtono (ie…a 70’s ice cream machine→
A Disney Cruise Line vacation is a very unique experience with all the magic and charm you would expect from the brand, but Disney is taking steps to increase the value of booking their concierge-level staterooms.

So… you booked that dream cruise vacation to Alaska and you have your heart set on checking off that bucket list excursion to fly out to a glacier and plant your foot, hopefully firmly, on the ice of a glacier.

The journey from Arromanches to our next destination was a bout 20 minutes or so. I had heard of the landing beaches of Omaha and Utah, but must admit I wasn’t fully aware of the importance that Pointe du Huc, just west of Omaha beach, and the Army Rangers played in Operation Overloard… ie the Battle of Normandy. Pointe du Hoc is a→
Personally, I am captivated by the opportunity to actually touch history. Its one thing to read the stories in history class or sit in a theater watching a Hollywood interpretation of what happened at a place, at a time on the calendar. This is why I travel. Travel requires you to get out from behind the screen or the printed page and→
Today we wake up in Caudebec in Normandy on the right bank of the river Seine. Walk down the ships gangway and you step right into a picturesque village with outdoor cafes and even a pharmacie (drugstore) just across the way if you need to buy sunscreen, toiletries, etc. Even their 14th century prison is welcoming. At the center of town is→
Ok.. Ill admit it, I like balconies. I like the breeze and the sounds of the water. I like relaxing and watching the world sail by while I hang out in jammies. No shoes or makeup required to get a great view cause you just roll out of bed and step out on your balcony. Or do you have to→
Yup.. Im addicted to cruising.
