Earlier this week I told you how excited I was about the idea of a craft brewery on a cruise ship. Well, Norwegian Cruise Line may have just upped this by announcing their latest ship, the Norwegian Joy, will feature a racetrack on the top deck!

Perhaps one of the most iconic images of Hawaii is Kaua’i’s Napali Coast. Movies like Jurassic Park, South Pacific, and Raiders of the Lost Ark have all been filmed in Kaua’i and feature some of the dramatic scenery you’ll find. While you can access part of the rugged coast by hiking the Kalalau Trail, the easiest ways to see the coastline is by air or by sea.

Attention beer lovers everywhere... Carnival Cruise Line is now up-ing its game in the on board pub world. Featured on their newest ship, the Carnival Vista, will be the RedFrog Pub & Brewery. The pub will feature hand-crafted beers made right on the ship. Now that is a cruise amenity I could learn to love!

One of my favorite places to send clients in Florida is the South Seas Island Resort on Captiva Island.  For decades, generations of guests have made South Seas Island Resort on Captiva Island the vacation destination of choice in which to share treasured moments and make lasting memories. This iconic 330-acre wildlife preserve spans two and a half miles of pristine white-sand beaches framing the tranquil waters of the Gulf of Mexico. 

Boo to you, our friends!

This past fall I had the opportunity to head to Disney's Aulani Resort in Hawaii as part of our family's 10-day cruise from Vancouver to Hawaii. One of my absolute favorite parts of the stay at the resort was enjoying the amazing water activities there on site. Even better was the obvious touch and care taken to incorporate Hawaiian culture into the entire area.

When you think of coming to Orlando for a family vacation the main spot that is thought of is Walt Disney World with maybe adding on a day at any other amusement park, like Universal Orlando Resort.
