Cruise with Holland America Line ms Eurodam  – December 2019

This spacious mid-sized ship can support a small town at times - with capacity for up to approximately 2,100 passengers and over 900 crew. While that is a lot of people the ship is sizable so that while on board it never feels to crowded (with perhaps at times the exception of the pool area on the top deck). The ship offers a wide variety of activities for the entire family, one will not be board when on board! Entertainment and music is a big … [Read more...]

Old Town Vilnius Lithuania – November 2019

It is easy to show up to a city and give it the cursory glances, walking down the main touristy streets and window shopping. However to understand a city, one should explore - visit the off the beaten path allyways and seek out the local hangouts. Old Vilnius has plenty of history and character from its Orthodox churches, to unique neighborhoods, bars and artisan stores. One needs a few days to fully explore this part of town. Highlights … [Read more...]

Tortola, British Virgin Islands – October 2019

About an hour's ferry ride from Charlotte Amalie is Tortola, an island in the British Virgin Islands. If you make this crossing, bring your passport - you will need it to enter the country (which is a fairly smooth quick process). You disembark in Road Town - a colorful community (largest on the island) originally perched on the edges of the steep hillsides which drop down into the water. However, much of the town is now situated on what was the … [Read more...]

Half Moon Cay (Little San Salvador Island), Bahamas – September 2019

This private island in the Bahamas is surrounded by stunning and usually clear aqua marine waters. Part of the intrigue of visiting the island is it is typically only accessible via cruise ship - from Holland America Line or Carnival Cruises. The island is owned by Carnival Corporation. Other than a small area containing shops near where the tender ships come ashore much of the island remains in a natural state. However for passengers on board … [Read more...]

Las Terrenas & Vicinity, Dominican Republic – August 2019

The small town of Las Terrenas sits on the edge of the northern part of the country on the Semana Peninsula. Arguably some of the best beaches in the Dominican Republic are located here. The town itself is busy with lots of little shops and services and makes a good stop for food. You don't want to spend much time in town - rather head north to the beaches. Lodging, food, and a number of water activity shops are spread out along the … [Read more...]

Guinness Storehouse Dublin – June 2019

Guinness Storehouse is a large complex of buildings located at St James's Gate in Dublin Ireland. Guinness has truly developed a cult-like following over the years - since it's founding in 1759. A visit here will immediately clarify this - even during a recent visit on a weekday somewhat off season the storehouse was super crowded with visitors. A visit here is like a walk back in time to another era of old austere looking brick factory … [Read more...]

Lombrives Cave – April 2019

This is Europe's largest and longest open to the public cave system (a fact validated by the Guinness Book of World Records). The cave itself is located on the side of a small road with a non descript sign - it is easy to miss. Address: 09400 Ussat - across the road that runs parallel in this area to the L'Ariege River - about 90km from Toulouse and 50 km from the country of Andorra. A number of tours are offered each day - our visit coincided … [Read more...]
