Weird Activities and Awkward Encounters at home and abroad
So, you and the family have decided that you want to take a cruise for your next vacation! It’s a perfect vacation when traveling with a family, as there is likely something on board to interest everyone. As much as we would love to spend what we want, most households work on a budget. Whether…
My husband Steve and I picked Norwegian Cruise Line‘s New Zealand itinerary for our honeymoon to avoid driving on the left side of the road through mountainous terrain (after a stressful situation in South Africa), and because cruises are great. We have cruised several times on Disney Cruise Line, but this was only our second…
I don’t even know where to begin an annual recap of 2016. It was just a really rough year. I experienced some pretty jarring personal loses this year, that’s cause my life to change in a very noticeable way, but it’s also just been hard year for humanity. We’ve lost a lot of people we…
Back in April I was all packed up and ready to be one of the first passengers aboard the Fathom Adonia as she sailed into the Dominican Republic for a week of “impact travel”, whatever that meant. Of course, that voyage was not meant to be and lead to a great adventure in Colombia. Fast…
Someone once told me to, “Plan enough to cover your ass, but leave room for Serendipity.” I wish I knew who to attribute that quote too, it’s just something that’s been buzzing around in my brain for a while and obviously speaks to me. As a terrible planner, the latter part of that comes a…
There has been much buzz about Philadelphia since the City of Brotherly Love was named a UNESCO World Heritage City late last year.

I’ve been quoted as saying “if I can’t afford Disney, then I can’t afford a cruise.” That was immediately following a hellish trip on the Carnival Sensation . Now that some time has passed and I’ve had a chance to recover, I’ve realized that I may have been a little hasty. I’ve recently revised my…
I recently got to spend Bacardi’s 153 birthday in the best place I can think of to celebrate, the Distillery at Casa Bacardi in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The Distillery was the only thing on my absolutely must see list on this trip. I was content to just wander around the Disney Fantasy and St…
I really wish I had more time to explore Old San Juan in Puerto Rico. It was one of the places I was most excited about visiting on my Disney Cruise, especially since so many people had compared it to one of my favorites, New Orleans. I unfortunately did not have too much time to…
I just returned from my first trip on the Disney Fantasy. It’s the first of many I hope. I’ve been on the smaller ships, the Disney Magic and the Disney Wonder, and I was already smitten. So naturally I was very excited about a bigger, fanicer, newer ship! Disney has outdone itself again. I worked…
