There is a famous adage about life that says it is not about the destination, but it’s about the journey. However, when traveling, it often really is about the destination, and the journey is just something to endure in order to finally reach that destination. When traveling halfway around the world, flying is really the best option. But how does one face flights that are 8, 12, or 17 hours in duration? What’s the real deal between Economy vs. Comfort vs. Business/First class? In-flight entertainment? How to help kids on long hauls? Listen up and learn all about it!

Have you visited this places either on a river cruise, or as part of another vacation? Did you have a favorite? Let us know!
We have recorded several episodes on cruises and many are huge fans of ocean cruising. However, there is another cruise option out there that is considered one of the fastest growing industry segments out there: River Cruising! The ships are smaller, the ports are more intimate, and the whole experience is far more inclusive. Recently, Elizabeth experienced a Rhine river cruise with AMA Waterways and we are excited to learn about her experience and how it differs from ocean cruising. So let’s get started.
This episode is about the river cruising experience. We will save the itinerary and ports of call for our next podcast… So with that said…
*Is it really all old people?
*What is included?
*What is the on board experience like?
*How is the food? Dining experience in general?
*How are the excursions? Free time?
Have you river cruised? Or is it something you have always wanted to do? Let us know!
Travel is about making memories that last a lifetime and broadening your world view and your perspective. One thing that pretty much everyone does on vacation is buy souvenirs. Some of us have a “go to” item that we have to buy on every trip, thereby building a sort of memory collection to display and share with our family and friends. So let’s explore what some of those favorite souvenirs are!
Right now, all of us are in the midst of the holiday bustle. Which is to say, we are all right at that point when we wonder why we do this every year and why can’t we all just go to the beach for a week?!

And remember, we are not talking about that trip to Ohio to see grandma. We are talking true vacations over the holidays. Learn the truth about “deals” over the holidays, when to plan that holiday getaway, and where should you not go?

Ho! Ho! Ho! We talk about Walt Disney World a lot on this podcast, but this week, we wanted to talk about this wonderful place at the “Most Wonderful Time of the Year…” (no, not the Food and Wine Festival!) – the winter holidays. If you love Holiday Traditions you will not be disappointed! From the icicle lights on Cinderella’s castle, to the large themed trees in front of each park, to the Gingerbread House displays in the resorts, Disney goes all out. There is a lot to talk about, so let’s get started!
Have you visited Walt Disney World in December? What did you think?
Cruising is a wonderful vacation option, as it allows you to unpack once and travel all over a given area of the world. Your food and entertainment is included (with some exceptions) and some drinks are included (with some exceptions). Shore excursions are rarely included. But sometimes you like to know that everything is all paid for so you can sit back and enjoy and not count every penny. So how do you make your cruise much more inclusive? Every line is different, so we have compiled tips for the big guys and we’d like to share them with you tonight.

Oh, that City by the Bay! Welcome special guest Linda! We mentioned last week that Linda currently lives in San Francisco. Apart from a three year stint in Hong Kong, Linda has been a resident of San Francisco since the summer of 2000, she has truly come to love the city. What better way to learn the heartbeat of a city than to speak to people who live and work there every day. Learn about what are the top three places to see if you have a short time and really want to capture the highlights…and some hidden gems tourists might not normally get to to, but should if possible. What stereotypes are true to life for the Bay Area? What is the character of this amazing city? Oh, and we might just talks about beer, too.
Have you left your heart in San Francisco? Do tell!
