We recently had a couple of friends celebrating a special anniversary. To mark the milestone, we were lucky enough to be invited along with a few other friends to join them on a Bahamas weekend cruise. Our friend took care of organizing everything and reserved several cabins abord the Celebrity Reflection leaving out of Port […]
When we first saw a cruise itinerary that did Cozumel, Costa Maya, Belize, and Roatan the first thing that came to mind was scuba diving. What a great way to experience multiple top-notch dive locations and have a cruise ship transport us around! So, is it a good idea to take a cruise with the […]
When we booked a cruise sailing from Buenos Aires to Rio with a few stops in Brazil and one in Uruguay, we were mostly excited about the bookends of the cruise. Because we had always wanted to visit both cities, we added a pre-cruise stay in Buenos Aires and a post-cruise stay in Rio de Janeiro. Before […]
We had been curious about scuba diving in the Bahamas for a while. We have friends that had spent time at Stuart Cove’s in Nassau, and we also heard about other good dive spots on Grand Bahama. The Bahamas is well known for its shark diving, and I must say, that made us a little […]

Halong Bay is one of those places that we dreamt of seeing for a long time. A bucket list trip that we finally had the chance to take and a must-see place in Vietnam. We opted for a 3-day 2-night cruise as we had read that a single day doesn’t get you into the more […]
The idea of taking a trip on a houseboat in the Kerala backwaters was brought to us by a friend of my husband. As we researched this further, we found that there was a long history of tradition behind these houseboats. It also looked like a relaxing way to explore the backwaters of Kerala, which […]

Cruising along the Danube River is a great way to travel at a leisurely pace and watch the ever-changing scenery unfold as you slowly drift by. It’s a very relaxing way to visit some beautiful places and typically the ship stops right by the attractions as these were often built along the riverfront when transportation […]
