I Love to Cruise!
My first cruise was to Alaska. It was for my Mom and Dad’s 50th wedding anniversary. It was the first cruise for all of us. The adult children were thinking that our first cruise would be to a tropical island with sandy beaches, but for my parents, we went to Alaska. Great choice! Still to this day, 14 cruises later, I think it was my best cruise.
Remember When...
Remember the good old days when you would walk into a Travel Agency and browse through the brochures and take a few home for inspiration? It wasn't that long ago. I can still visualize the first travel agency I walked into. Now we have the internet! What used to be an enjoyable and relaxingg experience has turned itnto a time consuming, confusing and frustarting event.
