Exploring China With Viking Cruises We heard great things about the Viking Cruises excursion to China. It was on our travel wish list for a long time. When we finally checked it out, we were amazed to find it was a very different Viking Cruises itinerary. The main part of […]
What Makes Favourite Travel Blog Posts It is that time of year where people look back at their blog post traffic. It was a busy travel year in 2018. By the end of year, we had published 445 blog posts. 88 of them were new in 2018. We were excited […]
The Executive Lounge Is Not Your Private Lounge! We are sometimes thrifty when we travel. It is great to shop in the market and go to a park for a picnic when we travel. We book our travel at days and times of the year that are cheaper. But we […]
