IT'S BEEN TOO LONG

EATING/CRUISING/AND DISNEY!


I know it has been a long time since I last blogged.  I hope you have been enjoying my podcast.

It has been quite the year already for me. I have been helping people making their travel dreams come true.  I have been monitoring all the new and exciting things that are happening in the travel world, like cruises.

Would you believe, the ships are getting larger and more dynamic.  The cruise lines are adding more ships.  Take a look at MSC Cruises, or Carnival Cruises, even Norwegian Cruise Lines better known as NCL.  Some of these ships are carrying over 4000 passengers.  Some of the new ships look like floating condo complexes.  There are more things to do on board.  Like Carnival has a sky ride.  It resembles a bicycle in the sky. It is high above the top deck and you pedal around.

Now if you don't like large ships that holds 4000 or more.  You may like to take a smaller ship, they are more like a boutique ship.  Check out the Oceania Lines.  Their ships are beautiful...less passengers...and great for those foodies.  The meals are exquisite.  

Remember one thing when booking a cruise.....pick one that is going to accommodate for your lifestyle.  Are you honeymooning....are you with the kids....or is it a girlfriends getaway?  Let your travel agent know what you are looking to do.  

When thinking cruises... the next thing I think of is food.  When traveling put the diet on hold.  (if you can) and try some of the wonderful delicacies of the country you are visiting.  Learn the culture...learn the eating habits.  For example some countries/cultures eat with their hands.  So as they say "When in Rome...."  I have experienced many different cultures' ways of dining.  Not only do you learn something new.  You get to eat great food....and have fun doing it...and yes...I did experience eating with my hands.  If you get the opportunity and you are in a restaurant that is not too crowded...ask what is the local favorite let them know you would like to try something you never had before.  You may just be surprised by what you get.  I remember my roommate and I went into a local eatery.  There was no crowd  and we asked for something they liked.  We were served like kings and educated on how to eat the food.  It was fun and yummy and an experience neither one of us will ever forget.

Now we have talked Cruises and Food...so what else could be new.  Disney!   I know Disney is not new...but Disney World Orlando is adding a Gondola Transportation System.  It will be a cable propelled transit system that will transport people from certain parks and locations.  By putting in these high tech gondolas, they hope it will help alleviate some of the street traffic and of course making moving from park to park easier.

If you would like to send me some of your feedback on some of your experiences or send pictures that we can share with others.  Send them on through.

Remember to enjoy your travel and experience somethings that are new. That's what memories are made from.  If you still need to plan a trip, feel free to go to my website or contact me and let's "make your travel dreams come true."
