    15 Things NOT to Forget to Pack for a Cruise

    In the haste of packing for a trip, one can usually forget to pack something. We have all been there. When traveling to another American city, often it is not that big of a deal because you can just stop by the store and purchase what you left behind. However, cruises are a bit different. Onboard stores are limited and a bit pricier, and you don’t know what you may or may not find in port. So, when you are working on your packing list for your upcoming cruise vacation, do

    Why I Love Cruises

    Cruises are perhaps my favorite type of vacation. When clients tell me they are interested in a cruise but have never been on one, I get excited and ask them how long do they have to talk. While I have not cruised on every single cruise line, my goal is to cruise as many as I can over the next five years. I am not loyal to one particular cruise line or another…yet! So, why do I love cruises so much? Here are my top five reasons why I think the cruise life just may be the

    Top 10 Things To Note From My Recent Western Caribbean Carnival Cruise

    I love taking cruises. It is perhaps one of my favorite types of travel. Over the Thanksgiving holiday, my family and I were aboard the Carnival Dream for an 8-day Western Caribbean cruise that departed from the historical New Orleans, Louisiana.

    Passion for Travel Is Why I Am a Travel Advisor

    For as long as I can remember I have loved traveling, whether it was for work or family vacations. To be frank, I enjoy the planning leading up to a trip almost as much as I enjoy the trip itself. My love of travel has rubbed off on my wife and two children, who have already shared lots of adventures with me. I have loved every place I’ve visited, and I enjoy seeking new places to visit. With the exception of relaxing in my favorite destination, the Smoky Mountains, I believ
