Stockholm Sweden

While staying in a Best Western in Stockholm, Sweden, I pondered the difference from our culture to theirs.  Wonderful examples of the differences were in my room.  Missing were the common themed prints from American hotels and in their place was a fancy painting with a wild light wrapped around it.  Additionally I found a mini-library, stocked with over thirty books.  Can you image waking up and have thirty library books in your very room?  Not lacking modern comforts, the room also had a DVD player and television.   Visit Stockholm and the Best Western.  I highly recommend it!

Norway Cruising - Outshines Alaska

Looking for a fantastic cruise?  I recommend to almost everyone cruising the beautiful country of Norway.  This is simply one of the greatest cruises I have sailed.  I was fortunate to sail on the six-star Regent Cruise Line.   We departed from Copenhagen, sailing all the way up the west coast of Norway to the most northern part of Europe which is North Cape.  In my opinion, cruising Norway outshines even an Alaskan Cruise.

Norwegian Cruise Line

Norwegian Cruise Lines are 4.5 star rated which places them nicely between Carnival Cruise Line (4 star) and a number of five star lines.  Cruisers enjoy dining whenever they want on Norwegian at the abundant dining facilities all over the ship!  For a little bit more money you can dine in their specialty restaurant, which other cruisers report is fantastic. This line is also known to be great for kids and adults, with cruises that go to Hawaii and all around the world!

Bermuda - Unlike Any Other

Bermuda is unlike any other island of the Caribbean and is definitely worth while to visit.   Located 600 nautical miles off the coast of North Carolina, Bermuda really isn't a Caribbean destination although it is often grouped in the Caribbean Islands.  Convenient departures from Cape Liberty, New Jersey or New York, New York make for easy passage to this British owned island. Bermuda is a great destination with plenty to do including touring brightly colored gardens, pastel painted houses, quaint villages, and pink sand beaches.  There's excellent golf and shopping making Bermuda the complete package as a cruise destination.
