Tomorrow is the big day!!  We’re flying out of Charlotte to Venice, Italy!  This is our first trip to Italy, and we’re excited (as if you couldn’t tell from my use of exclamation points).  Our luck with weather, not so good.  Last year for our Hawaii Cruise, we encountered the first Hawaiian Hurricane in decades.   [...]

Celebrity Century Day 4

I met Ryan, one of my best friends through high school and college, at the Miami airport before heading over to the Celebrity Century. Ryan is a first-time cruiser. I’ve been on many cruises over the past few years, so I occasionally forget the awe of getting on a cruise ship for the first time. [...]

Christmas Gift: Spring Break Cruise

I was looking through old pictures over the weekend and came across some of my favorite college memories. As a college student dedicated to studying and playing intramural sports during the week and partying on the weekends, Spring Breaks were the highlight of my college career. It was a chance to get-a-way to warmer weather [...]

2009 Recap

Today begins a Whirlwind end to 2009.  2009 has been an awesome year for me thanks to the Cruise Industry and Social Media.  My network is a 100x stronger than this same time last year thanks to having the opportunity to connect with so many cool smart people on Twitter.    With as good as 2009 [...]
