One of the first things I do when I am getting ready to book a vacation is buy a book on the destination. You may wonder why I do that, when there is so much great information online available for free, but I have multiple reasons. First of all, and this may sound a bit […]

As I’ve been (slowly) writing about over the last few months, last June I took a cruise to Alaska on the Coral Princess. In this post, I thought I’d talk about the Coral Princess itself, and how I liked it compared to other ships I’ve been on, and what I thought about it for the […]

Even before the plane landed in Vancouver, I was in awe of what I saw. I was above snow covered mountaintops, and it was just beautiful. I hadn’t even started my trip, and […]
