Yes, baby boomer travelers, cruising on Seabourn really does feel like sailing on your own yacht. In Part One of my review, I wrote about the intimate spaces and luxury accommodations that we experienced on-board our Seabourn Sojourn Cruise from Rome to Ft. Lauderdale. But what about the food? Is it boring dining in the […]
When the folks at The Yachts of Seabourn say, “This is your yacht,” they really mean it. At least, that’s what Alan and I discovered on a cruise with Seabourn Sojourn for her maiden trans-Atlantic voyage. Actually, we started our baby boomer cruise adventure in Civitavechhia, Italy, which meant two cruise segments on the 450-passenger […]
On this busiest shopping weekend of the year, I’m reminded of the friends I made while shopping for pearls in Shangahi, China, last November. During a Regent cruise from Vancouver to Singapore, the ship stopped overnight in Shanghai. I got to know the store clerks at Ruepeipei Pearls and Jewelry quite well. Sometimes, shopping is […]
Cruise crossings. I’ve written several times about how much Alan and I enjoy them.

Are you a baby boomer who’s looking for travel advice on becoming an expat or taking off to live life the way Julia Roberts did in the movie Eat Pray Love? Perhaps you’re interested in exploring the world through cultural travel like my friend, Barbara Weibel at Hole in the Donut. You know, the kind […]
Normandy, France, is a popular destination, especially for WWII buffs. Many baby boomers have listened to war stories from parents, especially fathers, who participated in the Normandy invasion during WWII. But tales of conquerors pre-date this contemporary war talk. Just ask Vera Marie Badertscher, A Traveler’s Library, who recently took a visit to Bayeux, France. […]
Cruise crossings—otherwise known as repositioning cruises—make an excellent adventure for baby boomer travelers. Alan and I have cruised on eight crossings, both in the Atlantic and Pacific. We especially enjoy a short road trip in Europe followed by riding a ship back to the U.S. on a Transatlantic crossing. However, if you ask Alan, […]
