Is it possible? Has the last day of our cruise arrived this quickly? Oh what is a girl to do? I don’t want to start packing too early in the day because then I will be completely out of vacation mode. Perhaps I’ll just sit out on the balcony and do absolutely nothing and hope… Read More
Towel animal party on the pool deck Our last port day and soon we will be home. I love cruising, but this part of the cruise week becomes somewhat melancholy in anticipation of us soon returning to our normal lives. But enough about that as I want to enjoy my day in Cozumel!

Terminal A at Boston Logan International Airport It’s always an interesting statistic for me to hear that only about 25% of the US population have ever cruised considering we love cruising. We’ve cruised out of Boston, Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Port Canaveral, New Jersey (Bayonne), Los Angeles, and Malaga, Spain and yet, we are always looking… Read More
When I travel abroad — for me that means outside the U.S. — I try my best to leave my expectations behind, to experience foreign destinations with an open mind and an acceptance that “it is what it is.” That being said, I’m only human, so certain expectations do wiggle into my world-traveling psyche, as… Read More
Omni Parker House Hotel in Boston There are times in my life when I don’t consider myself extremely lucky, but this past weekend I felt like the luckiest girl alive.
