On my recent Celebrity Cruise on the Celebrity Solstice, my cabin of choice was an Aqua Class cabin. Located near the Aqua Spa with complimentary access to the Persian Garden and Relaxation Room, this was the perfect choice for a 12-night cruise to the South Pacific and Fiji back in October 2013. Measuring approximately 194… Read More
Although it was Fall back in New England, on this bright and sunny Spring day in October in Australia. We were in Sydney because we were sailing on the Celebrity Solstice out of Overseas Passenger Terminal (OPT) for a South Pacific and Fiji cruise. Overseas Passenger Terminal (OPT), from where the Celebrity Solstice departs, was only a few minutes walk… Read More
Sydney has won me over in so many ways. Not only was the temperature absolutely perfect, the city easy to navigate, but I couldn’t put my camera down. There was so much to photograph and so much to see. While buildings tell stories of history, people tell far more intimate stories and I’m always interested… Read More
While people pose in front of monuments and historical sites, I’m the person who chooses to be behind the camera taking pictures of everything. Maybe I don’t understand exactly what the building or sculpture is exactly when I take the picture, but when I return home and research them, I usually can’t contain my excitement.… Read More

After an exhausting 16 1/2 hours in the air and taking Airport Link from the airport to Circular Quay, I was ready to crash. When we decided to cruise out of Australia, we were extremely excited to have a little time to spend in Sydney before the cruise. To maximize our limited time, we made… Read More
One of my recent trips had me traveling all the way to Sydney, Australia and through Sydney Airport, also known as Kingsford Smith airport. One of the oldest airports in the world and the busiest in Australia, arriving in Sydney was an overall easy experience. Airport parking Sydney with Parkhound was not too bad either.… Read More
2013 is a year I won’t soon forget. Sure, I had many opportunities to travel the world, something I absolutely live for, but I also had a stressful year. In May I ended up fracturing my right foot while I was in Toronto (fifth metatarsal fracture to be exact) and that took me out of… Read More
