i keep remembering when…

Final thoughts from the cruise… In addition to the videos I’ve posted here on the site, all the rest from the cruise (as well as some other random stuff) can be found here.

i’ll be trippin’, can’t wait till the next time

When I got on the Destiny, I was pretty sure it would be my only New Kids cruise. Why? Because what I want to do is be a travel writer. I already do it, but I want to get paid to do it.

(By the time they came back 10-15 minutes later, it was gone, but they were both just happy to have anything in the morning that was ready to go, so yay!) Read more →
