It feels very much like any morning in a hotel. I get out of my bed, wash my face, and prepare to go to the breakfast buffet. As I close our room’s door, an Indonesian housecleaner walks by. “Good morning!” he greets. Stuffing the door card in my pocket, I greet him back. But as I walk in the corridor dressed in two layers of shirt and a jacket, I have a palpable sense of excitement. I’m n... Read Full Entry

Although he lived much of his toddler years abroad in the US and spent his early childhood roaming around the Philippines with his parents, Jay didn't really catch the travel bug until much later in 2006, when he was dragged to a microfinance conference in Thailand. He considers it his first true taste of travel, with his childhood already but a vague, distant memory.

I've done the Alaskan Cruise via Sun Princess --- same places, but I'm still bowled over by these photos! I wish I took photos as well as you did. Lovely. Thanks for the fond memories!

We cruised the Inside Passage in 2008 on Celebrity...
I see you sailed on the Rhapsody of the Seas. We will be taking that ship from Honolulu to Sydney via the South Seas sailing on 25 September 2012. Did you like the ship? Was the food good? Were the rooms nice? How was the entertainment? Were there laudromats to wash clothes? Etc. By the way, thanks for Following me. I hope you've had a chance to read some of my blogs.

Hi!
We've been to three Royal Caribbean ships and so far I liked them all. Friendly staff, great food, good entertainment. As for the rooms, they were a bit cramped, but then again we paid for the cheapest ones. There's a laundry service but they charge extra for that (I forgot how much exactly though). Yes, I'm reading some of your entries right now. You're having a great trip across the US! Makes me miss ours two months ago.
