“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
― H. Jackson Brown Jr., P.S. I Love You 1. Beaches- head for a lake, river, or ocean
2. Staycations- explore your own city or state as a tourist and take advantage of locals-only deals 3. Sports- look into a surfing camp or pro baseball game 4. Resorts- check out resorts that cater specifically to your interests or family 5. Hot Spots- see how hot it can get in the desert 6. Cool Spots- head for the highest mountain peaks 7. Quiet- think about getting away from it all in an RV 8. All Inclusive- compare prices for destinations with everything-is-included-fun 9. National or State Parks- always a great idea for getaways 10. Cruises – perfect for unique destinations and simplified trip planning I hope you are one of the lucky ones planning an upcoming cruise. I have now been on 15 cruises (most recently the Mediterranean on Holland America Line) and have loved every one of them! If you are wondering how to plan for your first day, from embarkation to a candle lit dinner, plan for the essential items to make it a great day. For cruise vacations, I recommend boarding the ship wearing an outfit that is appropriate for the whole day. Resort wear or basic travel pieces that can be dressed up or down are the best since they can carry you through the entire day and through multiple activities. You will likely be without your baggage for a while after boarding, until it is delivered to the cabin, so make sure you are dressed appropriately for both sunning on the deck and casual dining in the restaurants. You may also want to bring a swimsuit and sunscreen in the bag full of the necessities you carry onboard yourself so that you (or the kids) can enjoy the pool or spa right away.

Beach trips mean lots of water and sand. But, it is unlikely that you want to pack all that water and sand in your suitcase at the end of your vacation. Instead, start your beach trip prepared to deal with all those wet and sandy clothes, shoes, and swimsuits. If you regularly travel to the beach (or lake) you may want to consider purchasing a suitcase with specialized compartments made for dirty or wet clothes. If you do not make trips frequently enough to justify new luggage, just pack some small bags specifically for that purpose. You could bring reusable nylon bags, zip lock bags of all sizes, or re-use clean plastic grocery bags to handle those items you don’t want to put in the suitcase or trunk of the car. If you have large items, you may even want to bring along a few garbage bags to handle the bulky beach towels, swim shoes, and sandy beach toys. I always carry some zip lock bags in several sizes in my suitcase no matter where I travel. They weigh almost nothing and have proven invaluable on a variety of occasions. Save your sanity on your next trip by adding a few water-proof bags to your suitcase. Enjoy your beach vacation!
Barcelona has been wonderful as a pre-cruise destination. Three days of touring has allowed us to see many of the major city sites. The schedule has included Parc Guell, La Sagrada Familia, Montjuic, Las Ramblas, the Gothic Quarter, La Boqueria, a flamenco performance, and wonderful food. This itinerary of highlights has definitely allowed us to see some of the city’s top spots. I prefer having a few days in an embarkation city prior to a cruise, rather than at the end of a cruise, and this pre-cruise schedule has been ideal. We have maximized our time in the city and enjoyed the many delights of Barcelona, Catalonia, and Spain. Here is a recommended itinerary for first-time visitors to Barcelona:
Day 1: Arrival in Barcelona Visit to Parc Guell Stroll down Las Ramblas Dining: Cafè De L'Opera Day 2: Guided City Tour (including a Skip-the-Line tour of La Sagrada Familia and a walking tour of the Gothic Quarter) Flamenco Dance Performance Dining: Santa Caterina Day 3: Waterfront Walk (from the statue of Christopher Columbus) Embark on Cruise Up next: Reports on our cruise ports! I am getting ready for my next trip! I will be leaving soon for a Mediterranean cruise onboard a Holland America Line ship. The cruise will sail round trip from Barcelona. I will be taking my mother on this cruise and I know she is as excited as I am to be underway. We will be visiting five countries total (Spain, Italy, Greece, France, and Montenegro), with visits to eight ports. Many of the cities and sites we will be visiting are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The World Heritage List includes 725 cultural, 183 natural, and 28 mixed sites that the United Nations’ World Heritage Committee considers to have “outstanding universal value” due to their natural and cultural heritage. What an amazing opportunity it will be to visit such locations on our little blue planet. Of course, I will be writing about each location in-depth, and sharing some details about the cruise, when I return. Please watch for those new articles to be posted soon under the Cruise tab.
