Yes, you can wear that bathing suit but should you?
I tried not to visibly cringe as the rather large woman with two, no make that three rolls of pudge between the top of her bikini and the bottom strolled by the pool of my cruise ship. She was not the first woman I would see on my Caribbean cruise dressed in an inappropriate bathing … Continue reading
Flying a Chopper Over the Grand Canyon
Seriously, you can’t imagine how cool I felt typing “chopper” above. As if I actually had anything to do with piloting the chopper, other than attempting to climb into the pilot’s lap when he veered a little too close to the canyon’s walls. Absolutely, without a doubt, the coolest thing we did the entire time … Continue reading
A Travel Writer’s Quandary
I forked up another bite of my barely warm dinner and finally came to the conclusion that it was inedible. Everyone in our group agreed.

My expectations were honestly pretty low when it came to … Continue reading

Sushi Bar on Carnival Liberty
Tuna sandwich. Fried shrimp. Grilled salmon. Tilapia with a lovely lemon butter sauce. These are all seafood items I would gladly pile on my plate. But sushi? Not so much. The whole idea of consuming raw fish could not have been less appealing. Until I sailed with the Carnival Cruise Line for the first time a … Continue reading

The Best Kept Secret in Vegas – the Las Vegas Monorail
I sat down and slid off my sandal to check on why my bare foot was hurting and there it was – a blister. Waaay too much walking. We had walked from our fabulous and classy Paris Hotel all the way to the amazing and fascinating Luxor and I couldn’t imagine walking all that way … Continue reading
