In honor of Geography Awareness Week, November 12 - 18th, which promotes the importance of geography, each day this week I’ll post about a destination from one of our seven continents.
These will be destinations that intrigue me; that entice me to want to visit. They may be mainstream locations, or something a little bit off […]
Details: Transiting the Panama Canal is one of my all time great travel experiences.
It’s a series of locks, and ships of all sizes line up to go through. Once you start going through the locks it takes several hours to complete the transit process.
If you’ve ever considered a cruise, this is […]
I’ve been on numerous cruises, and have always found the combination of relaxing days at sea and busy days in port to be a terrific vacation combination.
Days at sea can be spent lying on deck in the sun (lots of sunscreen applied), wandering around the ship, enjoying the great food and drink available, relaxing with […]
Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition will open at the Atlanta Civic Center, Atlanta, Georgia, on November 11th. The website also lists other cities where the exhibit is on display.
The exhibition consists of more than 300 artifacts rescued from the sunken wreck by the RMS Titanic, Inc., the only company permitted by law to recover objects from […]
If you want to travel outside the geographical boundaries of the Unites States, you’re going to have to have a passport. Gone are the days when a birth certificate and drivers license would do the trick.
Canada, Mexico, and parts of the Caribbean have long been excluded from the requirement of a passport, but all that […]
If you’re driving yourself to the airport, and will be looking for long-term airport parking, check out ParkSleepFly before making any final decisions.
ParkSleepFly collects hotel rates that also include a long-term parking option in the rate. You can spend the night at a nearby airport hotel, reduce the stress on the day of travel, AND […]
Depending on the length of the cruise, there will be at least one, if not more, formal nights.
On cruises under a week, there is usually one formal night. On weeklong cruises, usually two. And on those over a week, usually three. You will find a full itinerary listing meal events with your documents, in the […]
As the Dawn Princess sailed out of San Francisco’s harbor, we passed under the Golden Gate Bridge, and these photos were taken from the top deck.
The Art Deco themed bridge, one of the most widely recognized San Francisco landmarks, opened for vehicle traffic at noon on May 28th, 1937.
The Golden Gate refers not to the […]
One of the considerations in booking a cruise, is the category of cabin you choose.
The type of cabins available have a variety of names, but basically fall somewhere along these lines:
Suites
Junior suites
Outside cabins with a balcony
Outside cabin with unobstructed view
Outside cabin with partially obstructed view
Inside cabin
Pricing depends on both the type of cabin and its location on the ship, […]
Whether in the air or on the sea, I can’t get away from the safety demonstration.
Remember — it’s important to pay attention!
