Fairfield Inn & Suites Hershey Chocolate Avenue Review

Back in April I went to Hershey, Pennsylvania for a mini vacation. It was just two full days, and one night. We were looking for a hotel that was nice, inexpensive, and close to the Hershey attractions. It didn’t have to be fancy, but we wanted it to be nice since it was a mini-vacation […]

Hershey Gardens

Recently I visited the Hershey Gardens, in Hershey, PA. I had never been to the gardens before, and love going to photograph flowers and other things in nature, so I was really excited about seeing the gardens. Plus…it’s my favorite time of year. Spring, when the tulips are in bloom. The tulips at the Hershey […]

Food on the Norwegian Gem: My Review

On my 9-Day cruise on the Norwegian Gem last month, I was able to try a lot of different foods on the Norwegian Gem. I’d even say I ate more meals on the ship than normal, since 4 of the days were at sea – so all of my meals had to be on the […]

What I thought of the Norwegian Gem

In December, I went on a 9-Day Eastern Caribbean Cruise out of NYC. This is the third Norwegian ship I had been on (Previously I was on the Dawn and the Sun), but since my last cruise with them was quite a few years ago, I was interested in seeing what was different. When I […]

Parking for the New York City Port (Hint: Use the Ferry!)

Back in August, I booked a cruise out of NYC, figuring it would be nice and convenient since I live in Northern NJ. What I didn’t think about, was how I was going to get to the NYC port. I couldn’t have a friend or family member drive us, as it would be in the […]

How to Find Cheap Cruises in the Caribbean

There’s nothing like getting home after a long vacation, and being happy to get back to your every day routine. I recently returned from a 9-night Eastern Caribbean cruise (round trip NYC), and am now recharged, and ready to go. Vacations will really do that for you. Back in late August, I decided that I […]

ShuttleFare Review: Transportation to and from the Airport

A few days ago, I wrote about ShuttleFare, and how they make it easy to book a shuttle to get from the airport to your hotel, and then back to the airport at the end of your trip. I used ShuttleFare a little less than 2 years ago, and just wanted to share my experience […]

ShuttleFare: Makes it Easy to Book Transportation to/from the Airport

When flying into a big city, sometimes it can be hard to figure out how to get from the airport to your hotel, and then back to the airport. Should you take a cab? A shuttle? Should you hire a driver? Depending on the city you’re going to, there could be a huge difference in […]

As you may know by now, Norwegian Cruise Line is working on their latest ship, the Norwegian Breakaway. Little by little, they have been announcing cool new features of the ship. Earlier this year, I wrote about some of them, including a restaurant lined boardwalk. Today, NCL has announced another cool feature – the Peter […]
