Couples Travel–There's nothing quite like exploring the world with your significant other, though it has its challenges.
Is a Three Day Cruise Even Worth it?
By the time you get to the cruise port, find your cabin, unpack and go through the muster drill it’s almost time to go home. So why even bother with a three day cruise? That’s the school of thought, anyway. I couldn’t disagree more.

Beach Babylon – Heaven on Earth. Runner-Up in Twenty-Four Hours Challenge.
Imagine yourself on the most stunning tropical island resort. Close your eyes and take it all in. Feel the warm sun and soft sand beneath your feet. Hear the gentle waves lapping at the shore. Breathe in the fresh, salty air. You're in paradise. You are surrounded by white sandy beaches and aquamarine seas. You can't truly imagine them until you see them in person. You are surrounded by pure luxury, thousands of miles from the hustle and bustle of any major city.

Bruny Island Adventure. Honorable Mention in Twenty-Four Hours Challenge.
Bruny Island is one of those little gems that you only know about if you go looking for it. To get here, you fly into Hobart Airport, probably via Sydney or Brisbane if you're not coming from the Mainland (or North Island, as the locals call it). The next step is to hire a car, drive about an hour to the Bruny Island Ferry, and spend about 20-30 minutes on said Ferry.

One day in heaven
The above shot was taken on my birthday, treating myself to a Cornish cream tea in the most southerly café in England. Although I have been there for the last 30 years, at least once a year, I would always go back. When I drive down to the tiny carpark the deep blue water appears, with added rocks, birds and a few seals. I used to park at the main car park but health makes it difficult due to the steep paths.

I Vowed Never to Eat at a Specialty Restaurant on a Cruise but now I have Changed my Mind
I decided long ago that if it is not free it is not for me. But really, what is “free” on a cruise ship? Shall we say “complimentary.” Semantics aside, we figured eating at a specialty restaurant and facing an up-charge is not worth the splurge…Or is it?

How Walking around a Track on the Enchanted Princess Cruise Ship Changed my Life
When we first embarked on the Enchanted Princess, we didn’t know what to expect. It was our first ten day cruise and my husband and I were there for the itinerary, not the festivities on board.

I am about to Sail the Shortest Itinerary on the World’s Biggest Boat
Basically this is a three day cruise to Royal Caribbean’s private island and back, with one day at sea thrown in. That is fine with me. I am simply enraptured by the sheer size of this vessel and plan on walking around (without getting lost) and taking in the magnitude of it all.

Should You Eat Every Meal in the Suite-Only Restaurant on a Cruise Ship?
My husband and I are set to sail on Legend of the Seas. We are only cruising for three nights. And this is our first time staying in a suite with a dedicated restaurant only for suite guests.

Twenty-Four Hours in Rocky Mountain National Park
At 5:10 a.m., Rocky Mountain National Park belongs to the elk, the marmots, and the people willing to leave a warm bed before dawn. The gates at the eastern side of the park open a landscape that changes by the mile, climbing from ponderosa pine forests toward the high country where the Continental Divide cuts across the horizon. For one perfect day, I would begin in Estes Park, with a full tank of gas, a thermos of coffee, and enough time to let the mountains set the schedule.
