Packing for Your Cruise Vacation

by Marian Krueger, in category Cruises
packing

Veteran cruisers love to give advice to new cruisers about what to pack and what to leave behind at home. As a cruiser myself, I have found that no matter how much I pack I never seem to wear half of what I bring. When packing for an upcoming cruise, I try to remember those… Read More

Picking the Cruise Line That’s Right for You

by Marian Krueger, in category Cruises

Cruising has been in the news lately with the unfortunate fire aboard the Carnival Splendor. What has intrigued me and many others in the travel industry has been the descriptor “luxury cruise.” Carnival advertises itself as the “fun ships,” but never as a luxury cruise line. What is a luxury cruise? To understand that, we… Read More

Carnival Splendor: Time for a Spamcation?

by Marian Krueger, in category Carnival, Cruises

You plan in advance for a vacation, sometimes months, sometimes years. You arrange time off with work, pet sitting for your pets, and save up the extra cash to have a good time. I don’t think in a million years anyone expects to have a vacation where it turns into a nightmare. This week the… Read More

This month, Allure of the Seas, the sister ship to Oasis, debuts. You can expect many of the same services, amenities, and entertainment that can be found on Oasis plus… Read More

Entertainment on Oasis of the Seas – Part I

by Marian Krueger, in category Cruises, Royal Caribbean

On a ship the size of Oasis of the Seas, there is plenty of activities and entertainment for everyone to enjoy. When someone thinks of onboard entertainment on a cruise ship, they might think of a Broadway-like production with dancers and singers that couldn’t make it on Broadway or a comedian that is less than… Read More

by Marian Krueger, in category Cruises

Your cruise is booked and now you are thinking about the specifics such as your flights and excursions.  You keep reading that many people recommend that you arrive to your port city the day before your cruise. Why? Let’s face it – you want to have the best vacation possible. One way to do this is to… Read More

Choosing the Right Cruise Cabin

by Marian Krueger, in category Cruises

You decided on an itinerary, a cruise line, and a cruise ship and all that is left is choosing a cabin. How do you pick from the many categories available? All cruise lines are different and so are cabins. One inside cabin may be teeny tiny while another may be quite large. Take the time… Read More

Should I Book in Advance or Wait Until the Last Minute?

by Marian Krueger, in category Cruises

One of the most frequently asked questions I receive is whether it makes sense to book in advance or wait until the last minute. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule, but in the world of cruising I would most definitely book in advance to get the best rates possible. Same holds true for… Read More

A Cruise or an All-Inclusive Resort?

by Marian Krueger, in category Cruises

A Cruise or an All-Inclusive Resort?  You Decide You decide it’s time to take a vacation and you have finally narrowed it down to either a cruise or an all-inclusive resort. But how do you decide between the two? Both include accommodations, food, entertainment, and activities (although some cost extra), but there are differences between the… Read More

Happy New Year from Los Angeles! Here’s to 2021 Happy New Year from Los Angeles! Here’s to 2021 being way better than 2020. I’m planning on making the most of it. #losangeles #newyear #newyearfireworks #newyearfireworks🌌🎇🎆 #newyearfireworks2020 #buhbye2020
#TRAVEL THOUGHTS: Another beautiful day in #Califo #TRAVEL THOUGHTS: Another beautiful day in #California even when I’m at the dentist. Check out the view looking over toward Warner Bros. Studio and that mountain. You never see a view like this on the East coast.

#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?
