by Marian Krueger, in category Destinations, Italy
To Eataly or Not to Eataly

Our first port of call on my Mediterranean cruise onboard MSC Preziosa was Bari, Italy.  This would be the one port where I had no predetermined objective and really no clue as to what there was to do or where I might want to go.  For any trip I take I usually research well in… Read More

What’s it like to sail out of Venice cruise ship port? When it’s time to set sail for an experienced cruiser, I’ll admit that it’s particularly easy to feel somewhat jaded. “I’ve done so many of these before.  What could be different?” But sailing out of Venice cruise ship port while on board MSC Preziosa by… Read More

Ship Spotting in Venice, Italy

by Marian Krueger, in category Cruises, Italy
ship spotting

I spy… lots of ships in Venice! Before sailing out of Venice, I began ship spotting a few familiar ships in port alongside our ship, the MSC Preziosa. It’s not like I have buyers remorse or anything when I’m on a cruise ship looking at other ships… really! But am I the only one when… Read More

Dinner in Venice: Ristorante Pizzeria Rio Nuovo

by Marian Krueger, in category Dining, Italy
dinner in Venice

After a long flight and an equally long walk throughout Venice, we finally settled on eating and dinner in Venice. Truthfully, I could’ve eaten the second we landed, but around every corner I kept finding more interesting things to look at and photograph. As the sun started to set, I knew it was time to… Read More

And this just happened. I’m proud to join the fu And this just happened. I’m proud to join the fully vaccinated club today after receiving my second dose at @uclahealth. Two weeks for full immunity and then I’m packing my bags and getting back to travel. Well, I hope so! So incredibly happy to have had this opportunity and a big thank you to the employees at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, like Izzy, Aaron, and Nydia, who were professional and helpful throughout the process.Now let’s get everyone vaccinated not just in the United States, but worldwide. While we have free access to the vaccine, many countries still don’t have the vaccine at all.

Perhaps the effect of enjoying a little too much sangria, but seriously - so many great buildings to enjoy. One of the reasons I would say that if you have the chance to travel to Spain, you should definitely go..

I kept it low key without King Kong and enjoyed a day cruise to Halong Bay and Lan Ha bay. It was a perfect day of relaxation away from city life..

I freely admit that I’m more impulsive than most I freely admit that I’m more impulsive than most so you’re probably not going to be surprised to hear that I’m always up for a new tattoo or piercing on my travels. While in Hanoi, I decided to get an industrial piercing at 1984 Tattoo & Piercing Studios after having some yummy vegan food nearby at The Veg. Hurt like hell afterwards, but is one of my favorites. Have you ever gotten a tattoo or piercing while traveling?

I love interesting buildings and Saigon Central Po I love interesting buildings and Saigon Central Post Office (Bưu điện Trung tâm Sài Gòn) is one. If you’re in the area, definitely stop by and check out the outside and the inside, complete with a few large historical maps on the walls.

I stopped at the Instagram famous “Train Street” when I visited Hanoi in August of 2019. Only two short months later, the government shut the cafes down and access to Train Street on foot for tourists. But it looks like the tourism industry, which has suffered in Vietnam like most countries, is pushing back. So if you’ve ever wanted your own selfie on Train Street, act fast because no one knows how long it will remain open.
