For anyone looking for a blissfully peaceful and beautiful beach vacation plus the “Disney difference”, the good news is that two of my very favorite vacation destinations are the perfect solution – Disney’s Hilton Head Island Resort in South Carolina, and Disney’s Vero Beach Resorts on the “treasure coast” of Florida. Both resorts offer the usual sand and sea that make a beach vacation a perfect place to relax and have fun. But when you add in those “extras” that you’ll find at Walt Disney World or Disneyland in California, the result is a magical combination. Disney details and service, but without any park stress? Sounds perfect doesn’t it! Read more

Mention ‘cruising’, and most people will immediately picture enormous ocean-going ships, with thousands of people onboard, sailing the seas of the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, Alaska, and other great oceans of the world.

But there’s a completely different world of cruising when you plan a river cruise. Sailing down a scenic river on a small vessel allows you to experience your destinations in a way that is very different from a traditional ocean cruise. Whether you’re traveling down the mighty Mississippi River while you explore the history and culture of America’s heartland, or you’re cruising along the scenic Rhine or Danube rivers as you enjoy the stunning landscapes and cultural centers of Europe – river cruising by its very nature, provides a truly unique and intimate vacation that is unlike any other. You’re not just traveling – you’re discovering the world!   Read more
