Celebrity Cruises newest ship, Edge, sets a new standard among cruise ships. The Edge doesn't feel like all the cruise ships that have come before it. It has a different layout without amazing venues spread throughout the ship not concentrated in one area around a multi-deck atrium. There is a Grand Plaza that serves as […]

For an action-packed vacation, I took a Royal Caribbean cruise on the biggest cruise ship in the world, the brand new Symphony of the Seas. I felt this ship offered the best in entertainment at sea. And it is so affordable as well because most of it is included in the cruise fare. In one […]

If London is your base and you are looking to visit a few of England’s most famous sites away from the city, make a day trip to Bath and Stratford upon Avon. Bath is a World Heritage City and the location of England’s only hot springs. The Romans founded this city in 60 AD and […]

Some of the best beaches in the Caribbean are found in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. Bavaro, El Cortecito, and Juanillio Beaches are three of my favorites. The softest and whitest sands found anywhere will make a beach lover out of you even if you don't normally hang out often at the beach. These beaches are […]
