Summing Up the Norwegian Jewel
I had to make my own bed this morning. No room steward came in and efficiently and quickly whipped the covers up and smoothed them in that incomparable way they do. I also had to make my own breakfast and, at some point, today I need to vacuum my entire house and clean the bathrooms. … Continue reading
Sydney, Nova Scotia and Yet More Eating on the Norwegian Jewel
OK. I’m just a teeny bit embarrassed to tell you that I had mashed potatoes again last night. On a dinner plate. In my defense, I ordered the gratin potatoes, thinking I would try something different and yum gratin potatoes all cheesy and but no. Not only were they not especially good but Tom ordered … Continue reading
Eating and Relaxing on the Norwegian Jewel
I have now found my favorite place on the Jewel. This, of course, is completely aside from the restaurants onboard, which are all my favorite places because I am seriously having some of the best food on planet Earth. Possibly the universe.
At Sea on the Norwegian Jewel
We are cruising along on a navy blue sea with sparkles of gold on the tips of the waves which look like pirates have scattered their treasured doubloons on the water. The last time we left New York on our way to Bermuda, the water was so rough that the pool water was splashing up … Continue reading
Norwegian Jewel: Truly A Gem!

When I would read this, I would smile gently at how clever she was to make up a cute little name for looking at … Continue reading
Saint John City Market, New Brunswick, Canada
I like to think I’m organized. I keep spreadsheets and write notes and always, always put my keys back in the right place so I won’t lose them. I go into excruciatingly, annoyingly, anal mode when I am planning a trip and plan every single detail. So when I was just writing a magazine article … Continue reading
Pin ItAll the Cool Kids are Doing It: A 2011 Retrospective
This has been a truly, truly wonderful year. It didn’t start out that way. Sometime last January, I got punched in the stomach with the news that the travel company I was writing for was doing away with the travel blog I had painstakingly designed and maintained for almost two years. Not only did they … Continue reading
Nolita (North of Little Italy), New York City
Check out my review of the Nolitan Hotel on my Examiner.com site HERE. Apparently, we ate a lot when we were in New York, judging from the photos I just sorted through. There are an exorbitant number of photos of food, places to purchase food, and restaurants. This should not surprise you, if you have … Continue reading
The Citadel, Halifax, Nova Scotia
When I heard that The Citadel in Halifax was a restored fort, I have to admit I was not all that thrilled about seeing it. However. That was before I saw this. Citadel sentry.
