Occasionally, I do get to see a rainbow here in the United States and I’m sure just like everyone else, I stop to admire it if only for a moment. In Ireland, there were more rainbows in one place at one time than I have ever seen before. It was spectacular. Now I can’t tell… Read More

A Visit to Cobh, Ireland

by Marian Krueger, in category Destinations, Ireland

When designing our itinerary to Ireland, Cobh was the one place I felt I had to visit on our trip. Why Cobh? Cobh (Irish: an Cóbh, meaning “cove”) is a seaport town on the south coast of County Cork, Ireland. The locality, which had had several different Irish-language names, was first referred to as Cove… Read More

Which Cruise Itinerary Should I Pick?

by Marian Krueger, in category Cruises

When deciding on a cruise, the majority of new cruisers will decide on a cruise based on the itinerary over the cruise line or ship. The destination, especially when you may not have traveled to a location before, is more important than the ship. That might change over time, but for new cruisers it’s all… Read More

Is the “Loud American” a Stereotype?

by Marian Krueger, in category Culture

You’ve been reading about our trip to Ireland and I can’t help but comment on some of the other travelers we ran into. Why is it that we can always spot an American abroad? We could spot the loud travelers everywhere and I quietly wished before they spoke that they weren’t American, but they opened… Read More

An American Drives in Ireland

by Marian Krueger, in category Destinations, Ireland

When we decided to go to Ireland, my mother-in-law said that they were flying into Dublin, but leaving out of Shannon, which is on the other side of the country. The easy thing to do would be to drive straight across the country and call it a day, but we wanted to explore as much… Read More

How Is Choosing a Cruise Like Buying a Home?

by Marian Krueger, in category Cruises

There is nothing I like more than escaping away for the weekend by taking a 3-day cruise. We have done enough of them that we know the cruise routine in and out and enjoy the relaxed non-scheduled weekend. We left this past Thursday evening for another 3-day cruise on Royal Caribbean’s Majesty of the Seas… Read More

A Visit to One of the Seven Wonders of the World

by Marian Krueger, in category Destinations, Mexico

A Western Caribbean cruise can stop at what may be considered an unfamiliar ports to some such as Progreso, (Yucatan) Mexico or Calica, Mexico as well as Cozumel. What can you do in these ports? Although I am sure no one wants to turn down a beach day, I highly recommend a visit to Chichen… Read More
