Vegan Cruising: Discover Vegan Dining Onboard Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines

by Marian Krueger, in category Fred Olsen Cruise Lines
vegan dining

Ask anyone with a dietary restriction what’s it like when they travel and they’ll probably say it’s difficult. As a vegetarian, I could always sub in dairy like yogurt and cheese, but as a vegan it’s definitely harder. When you’re cruising, you’re restricted to whatever they’re serving you at the moment. Since we’re currently on… Read More

by Marian Krueger, in category Travel Tips

People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.  — Anonymous Whether you’ve heard this quote before or not, for some odd reason I feel it’s pertinent enough to talk about in a post with regard to travel friendships.

#TRAVEL THOUGHTS: On yet another day where I can’t travel like most of you, I’m dreaming of my trip to Vietnam in August of 2019. I had such a great visit and I so miss the colors, the food, and of course, the people. What city are you reminiscing about today?

#TRAVEL/LIFE THOUGHTS: 2020 hasn’t been everyone #TRAVEL/LIFE THOUGHTS: 2020 hasn’t been everyone’s favorite year, but regardless we need to vote to have our voices heard. I felt like I was back in school reading through the huge booklets Los Angeles sends out voters, but it’s my responsibility to understand what I am voting for in this election. So many propositions and millions of dollars spent to get voters to vote a certain way. Thank God I didn’t rely on the commercials to vote because the ones with the most money shouldn’t be the ones to win. Make your voice heard and vote because every vote does count. I’m still optimistic that the political system can work and that our country can move forward. Did you vote today or are you going in person on Election Day?

Today was the first day where I could see and smell it. Smells like a campfire and the sky is just weird looking. Here’s to hoping they get it all under control soon and that everyone can be safe. And I can see sun and some blue sky again! 🌞

#TRAVEL/LIFE THOUGHTS: If you know me or follow me #TRAVEL/LIFE THOUGHTS: If you know me or follow me, you’ve probably noticed that I went from traveling and posting often to pretty much barely anything for the past two years. I’ve experienced some twists and turns on this journey we call life and that’s taken me away from what I’ve loved: My website and my love of travel. Today I am officially divorced after two years of legal procedures. I will have more on my site as I get it up and going again but first this. The long cross country drive I just took? Yeah that’s because I decided to pack up and move to Los Angeles. Got here on the 1st, promptly got a cold the next day and oh yeah - don’t know where my movers are yet with my stuff.
.
So if you’re feeling down, know that life is constantly changing and evolving. Choose wisely and you’ll be rewarded. Nothing is better than warm weather, water, and sand. (Don’t panic - I didn’t go to the #beach but this is what I’ve always thought of when I’ve thought of California.

#TRAVEL THOUGHTS: What happens when you visit Las #TRAVEL THOUGHTS: What happens when you visit Las Vegas? Do you go where you’ve already been or do you go somewhere new? I’m all for trying new things and you can imagine my surprise when I found a Jollibee here. It was inside a Seafood City, which I would never have visited as I don’t eat seafood. But Seafood City is actually a rather large Filipino market that transported me from the desert of Nevada straight back to the Philippines. They have everything and then some as well as a Red Ribbon bakery, Chow King, and of course Jollibee.how can you resist the Jollibee bee’s face?
