With cabins for just 22 passengers and crew, the yacht is the perfect size for comfort and retains the ability to … Continue reading
Pin ItPhoto Friday: Bike Path at Mackinac Island
We loved everything about Mackinac Island, especially the fact that just about everyone rides bikes. There is even a 7-mile bike path that runs all the way around the island. Tom got this unusual shot of the path. Pin It

When we were on our yacht cruise in British Columbia, enjoying the incredible scenery, scarfing down delicious food, and seeing amazing animals, we were actually working hard. As difficult as it is to believe, we work hard for all the amazing travel opportunities we are given. I spend an exorbitant amount of time writing once we … Continue reading
Pin ItWhy Small Ship Cruising is Better
Why in the world would anyone give up the glamour and glitz of those huge, ocean-going cruise liners with dozens of restaurants, sprawling suites and glamorous ports of call to cruise on much smaller ships?

Lounging on the Safari Quest Yacht by janross53 I curled up on the comfy couch, tucking my feet under me and spreading the warm throw over my knees. I could have been at home, comfortably reading, except for the fact that I could glance up and through the large windows to see dark green water and … Continue reading

We saw the sea lions first. Lazily lounging on a rock outcropping in the Strait of Georgia which is a part of the Salish Sea running through British Columbia, they were enjoying the warm, spring sun and seemed to have not a care in the world. Many were sound asleep. Those that were awake … Continue reading
