Air Ambulance in Flight

From time to time, I get asked, “Why do I need travel insurance?” As of this writing, there are two tropical systems in the Atlantic: Hurricane Earl and Tropical Storm Fiona. Earl has already been disrupting cruises in the eastern Caribbean. The affected ships are either re-routing to the western Caribbean or juggling their order of ports. Some are even canceling calls at certain ports all together and adding in extra days at sea.

Couples Massage Room on NCL Epic

Can you think of a better way to pamper yourself and please your partner than by sharing a couples massage on a cruise? For up to seventy-five minutes, you and your mate can choose from a variety of massage options. From Swedish to Hot Stone to the exotic poultice massage, you and your mate can share in total relaxation and pampering. If you wish, you can each choose a different massage technique yet still enjoy the time together.

Do you see the similarities between my hand and a map of Alaska?

Show the shape of Alaska with your hand

The shape of Alaska

After spending nearly two weeks there this summer where our tour guide on the land portion of our trip pointed out that you can sort of make the shape of Alaska with your right hand, I came to realize that Alaska is best viewed with the naked eye. Recently I was reading this post by Evelyn Hannon, aka @Journeywoman on Twitter, and under the last picture on the first page, Evelyn had noticed a woman viewing the magnificence of The Hermitage in St. Petersburg through the lens of her camera. Her comment made me think back to our recent trip through Alaska.  I know first hand how wonderful Alaska is and that you just want to capture all of its beauty with your camera.

Thankfully this final bill is in Pesos

Will your final cruise bill give you sticker shock? On the last night of your cruise, a slip of paper is stick in or under your door tallying up all of your onboard spending. This may really come as a shock if you are a first time cruiser. However, if you think about most of your other vacations, you will do various swipes of your credit card along the way and you only see the bill a few weeks later.

We are sure by now many of you have heard of or even seen the film starring Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson, but how many of you have your own bucket list written down? We figured it was time to put mine to digital paper. We would love it if you would add yours to the comment section. In no particular order, here are ours. We may add to my bucket list at a later date:

1. Live long enough to see my daughter graduate
2. Live long enough to walk my daughter down the aisle if that is in her plans
