There are more Alaska cruises available now than there has been in a long time. There are still the big ships that take a huge number of passengers through the deeper waters. However, they do not make many stops, and they cannot cruise up the more shallow waterways to get into the interior of Alaska. So, even though there are more of the big ships cruising Alaska, there are also a lot more of the smaller ships cruising up into areas of Alaska one would never see on one of the big ships.

Do not think the smaller ships are too small. It is a difference between a big ship that can have over a thousand passengers as compared to a smaller ship that comfortably accommodates a couple of hundred passengers or less. [read more...]

I will need to hire a car in the near future, as I am going on a trip to France with my wife. It should be a very relaxing stay, and I am quite looking forward to it. Anyway, I am going to need to find cheap car hire at toulouse airport in France. I have never been to the Toulouse Airport before, but it was pretty close to our final destination in the French Riviera, and that is why I picked to fly to that part of France. Anyway, I also got a pretty good rate on the airfare, and that went into the equation as well.

Right now, I am just worried about making sure that I will be able to find a car to hire for the duration of my vacation in France. [read more...]

Finding the perfect honeymoon for my soon to be wife and I has proven to be easier than I thought it was going to be. We are two different people that do not share the same idea of what the perfect travel destination is. She was hoping for one thing while I wanted another. A friend of mine suggested that I look into the different europe tours that are available. He told me about the trip that he had taken his wife on last year and how great it was for both of them.

He told me about the time that they had spent in Latvia and how there was something that they both enjoyed there. I was unsure about how it would go for my fiancé and I, so I went online looking for some information about the area and what there is to do there. I found out quite a bit from the websites that I had found and was convinced that it was likely the best place for us to go.

She would get to see the waterfronts that she loves and I would get to explore the great outdoors like I like. [read more...]

When I was thinking about the different ways to get from Mumbai to Goa, I didn’t realize I had so many choices. I knew that I could rent a car and drive it myself, but I was not looking forward to that at all. I didn’t know the area, and I knew it would take me a couple of days to do that. I would much rather enjoy the scenery too, instead of having to focus just on the road right in front of me.

I next considered booking a flight, but I didn’t really want to do that either. It would definitely be the quickest way, but I would miss so much. I wanted to be able to look at the tiny towns and interact with some of the people. Taking a flight would mean that it would not be possible. This left me with two other ways. I could either take a bus, or I could take a train.

I’ve been wanting to take a vacation in Europe for a while, but it has never been the right time. There has always been some obstacle, such as not having enough money, not having a passport, or not being able to use my vacation time from work. Now, finally every condition is right and I’m ready to take my vacation, except I have one last obstacle: I have no idea where to go in Europe.

I have heard from a few friends who have been to Europe that some good places to go were the Mykonos villa and Latvia. Since I had never seen much information about either location, I decided to check them out online.

Last summer I went on an extended business trip to the Baltic countries where the corporation is planning a series of new operations. My job was pretty low level and boring. Mostly I was just helping out some of my superiors, doing the advance work to plan for their trips and hiring people with local expertise to help out. It was really a very easy task with a lot of free time and I spent much of it photographing the local sights. A friend of mine showed my photos to a British travel photography web site. I was not really that interested when they sent me an email, because I suspected that it was some sort of scam.

We had originally planned to hire a driver when we were vacationing far away from home. That did not work out as planned. We then tried to hail a taxi. It was easy to get a taxi from the hotel to where we were going, but it was much more difficult to get a taxi back from places. While we were waiting for our ride to show up at a restaurant, I noticed a place that sold touring bicycles. I put two brand new touring bicycles on our credit card. My wife thought it was frivolous at first. However, before we left she told me she wished we could take the bikes on the plane! When we did leave we gave the bicycles away to poor families in a village nearby to where we were staying.

I was smart enough to make sure we both got comfortable riding seats on our bicycles. The tiny wedge shaped ones for more professional riders did not look comfortable at all. Our seats were wider and had springs.

I am going to be moving back home to live with my parents for awhile in the next week or so, and I will need to get some sort of mail forwarding service before I move out. That way, I will be sure that I can keep receiving my mail even though I am going to be switching physical locations in the near future. I am hoping that it will not be too hard to get a service set up to forward my mail to my parent’s house. I really wish that I did not have to move back home, but I can’t find a job here, and I don’t think that I really have much other choice about the matter.
