For today’s Movie Monday I’m featuring one of our little vids. It includes footage I captured during our shore excursion to Loch Ness. (In search of Nessie of course! I picked this cruise because it afforded us the opportunity to do that.) We didn’t see Nessie. In fact, our tourContinue Reading
For some, the end of the year or the start of a new one signifies a time of renewal, a time to make changes. For others, spring is the time to clean up and put a fresh face on things. For me, it’s Fall. I’ve been wanting to freshen upContinue Reading
Halloween is right around the corner. (Mercifully. The wait for this time of year to come back around is always torture.) Anyway, with it comes new job opportunities. Need work? Ever wanted to unleash your inner acting beast? Have a penchant for retail? Here’s three places you might want toContinue Reading
It’s been a while since I’ve mentioned our Shadow People and Cursed Objects Anthology. I’ve had some inquiries from those who’ve made submissions. I figured it was worth creating an update post to let people know where the process sits: Submissions closed July 31, 2015. The response was overwhelming. Literally.Continue Reading
While researching things to do while we’re in Belfast, I discovered the Giant’s Causeway and the Dark Hedges. Sounds like the name of a book or movie, doesn’t it? Nope. Just the names of places you can visit in Northern Ireland. And of course with names involving giants and darkContinue Reading
When we went to Istanbul I was hopeful we’d get to jaunt to Gallipoli, site of a World War I battlefield. I’d never visited a WWI battlefield before. I thought that might be a pretty powerful experience. Sadly, it was a bit of a commitment and we opted to hitContinue Reading
I don’t know why, but Dublin evokes quintessential Irish city life in my mind. Whatever that means, since I’ve never been to Ireland before and “city life” isn’t what most people associate with Ireland anyway. (Red-haired, hot-tempered, whiskey and Guinness drinkers with stories about Leprechauns who meet in the pubContinue Reading
I know some travelers are not fans of HOHOs (Hop-on Hop-off tours). I used to be one of them…until our jaunt to New York a few years back for our Canada/New England cruise. I was suffering from a pretty bad case of plantar fasciitis. (Side effect of my tennis addiction.)Continue Reading
Viator is one of our affiliates for a reason: they have tours that are appealing. (At least to me.) One that I’m absolutely astounded (and delighted) to discover is this one: Southampton Shore Excursion: Pre-Cruise Tour from London to Southampton via Stonehenge. Here’s the overview: Leave your central London hotelContinue Reading
The second stop on our British Isles cruise will take us to Cork, located in the southwest of Ireland. All I knew about Cork was what showed up in parenthesis on our cruise ship itinerary. (ie. “Cork, Ireland (cobh – For Blarney Castle”) The Blarney Castle was familiar due toContinue Reading
I wrote about London’s most haunted hotel room (the Langham’s room 333), which I discovered while researching haunted hotels in London for our upcoming trip there. The thing I found sort of odd was I only seemed to come across four of them. They were: The Langham Hotel – There’sContinue Reading
The first stop on our British Isles cruise will take us to St. Peter Port, our gateway to Guernsey, one of the Channel Islands. Here’s what I knew about the Channel Islands before I started researching them for our trip: it had been the only British territory occupied by theContinue Reading
