Have you ever been on a cruise? I have and it was my first cruise ship holiday in 2018. Cruise holidays are always fantastic and I want to praise them because now since Covid-19 people might be worried about catching covid whilst being on a ship. I suppose it's something we have to think of from now on.
Denise LarkinPublished 4 months ago in WanderAm I Crazy for Moving to Haiti?
When you think about Haiti, what's the first thing that comes to mind? If you watch the news, you might have visions of earthquakes, violent protests, and poverty dancing in your mind's eye. And if you heard of a spoiled white girl who planned to move there, you would probably call her crazy.

This was my first time. The other three guys had prior experience. Teddy was a retired engineer from the Merchant Marines, so you could say he was the leader, although that’s not what he wanted to be. He wanted to be left alone. Mike had taken several cruise trips, spending most of his time in the casinos while his wife baked on deck. Jack had once sailed to Bermuda with his wife and returned an unhappy man. It was the beginning of the end for them.

Traveling to Haiti shivers me all over. I've been there before. The trembling starts in my spine and climbs the stairway to my brain. Then Memory plunges its crookedness to the tips of my toes. I shudder and twist in my airline seat. I press my hands against my forehead to squeeze out images of what I know.
James Dale MerrickPublished 10 months ago in WanderLearning to Appreciate Sharks
I think sharks are incredible creatures, truly remarkable. That doesn’t mean I’m not afraid of them. I’d like to think my fear is a healthy one, more grounded than when I was younger. I remember being asked what I was afraid of. Spontaneously I answered, sharks and tidal waves. I had dreams about them both. For a girl who lived in Central Ontario, it seemed highly unlikely I would encounter either. I laughed about my irrational fears when chatting about fears with friends. Then I moved to Miami, Florida and realized that both my childhood irrational fears had become semi-rational ones.

The wind whipped through my hair and I felt as free as the birds soaring above. I was speeding down the four lane highway to explore the mythical place that I had heard so much about, Varadero Cuba.

The fumes of Havana filled the street. The diesel stink contaminates everything. The famous cars, meticulously maintained since the 1950s, look gorgeous in photographs but suck the oxygen out of the breathless air.
