Not Everything Goes Into The Suitcase Packing has never been a strength of mine. I am getting infinitesimally better. But I do try not to pack consumable items that I can pick up at my destination. If we are taking a short trip like our extra long weekend to Washington […]
Are You Considering A Trans-Atlantic Cruise? When people talk about a trans-Altantic cruise, the images that come to mind are often of the luxurious days of ocean liners crossing the sea. We booked our first trans-Atlantic cruise with Oceania Cruises to head to Europe to begin our exploration of Portugal […]
A True Confession It is true confessions time. We travelled quite extensively for many years with little regard for brand loyalty. We joined all the loyalty programs and then scattered our points everywhere. Often points expired unused. Promotions that would increase our points were ignored. In the last 3 years […]
Our First Stop In Dubai The first half of our amazing 51 day cruise was from Athens to Dubai. We stopped in Dubai for two days before we got back onboard our cruise ship to head to Cape Town for Christmas. And after Cape Town, we came back to Dubai […]
You Need To Think About Ways To Get Around Dubai I would not normally write about how to get around a city we visit. We have often used Hop-On-Hop-Off (HOHO) buses to explore a new city and get an overview of a new place. When we are in a city, […]
Visiting The Dubai Mall We were in Dubai twice within a month. On both visits we went to the Dubai Mall. This is certainly one of the things to do in Dubai. I am sure you need to visit many times to see every Dubai Mall adventure. There was a […]

Starting Our Cruise In Miami It was a bitterly cold Christmas season in Toronto. We were so happy that we had a cruise to the Southern Caribbean booked for right after the holidays. Flying out of Toronto in the winter is a long process. Luckily the snow had ended the […]
Heading Underwater In St. Lucia On our cruise to the southern Caribbean, we had lots of opportunities to get underwater. The water in Bonaire was crystal clear when we snorkelled in Bonaire. In Grenada, we snorkelled to explore the underwater sculptures. In St. Vincent, a catamaran excursion to Bequia Island […]
A Catamaran Adventure In St Vincent After our adventure to see the underwater sculptures in Grenada, we arrived in Kingstown port in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. We planned to do a catamaran adventure in St. Vincent but originally were wait-listed for this excursion. We had plan B and C […]
Afternoon Tea At Casa Loma During Winterlicious We love to splurge and enjoy the Afternoon Tea experience. Sometimes we plan afternoon tea when we travel. Afternoon Tea in Cape Town on Christmas Day was a great way to celebrate a holiday away from home. Afternoon Tea with fellow travel bloggers […]
Planning To Visit The ABC Islands When we booked our cruise to the southern Caribbean, we were excited about the chance to visit the ABC islands. Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao sit very south in the Caribbean, just above Venezuela. They are out of the hurricane belt and are great options […]
