In reality Port Canaveral is only thought of a cruise port, where you go only to take a cruise ship and the closest fun thing to do is the Orlando Florida theme parks. But this mentality is completely wrong. Opposite to that the travelers that visit Port Canaveral have many choices as to what to do and see before or after taking the cruise. As proof, a recent study showcased that travelers/visitors to the port canaveral cruise port spend an amount over $13 million just from shopping, restaurants and entertainment.
In my case one of the first places to visit while in Port Canaveral is the Kennedy space center. The best thing is that is just minutes away from the actual port. At the Kennedy Space Center you may have a tour, learn of the various America’s space programs. You will be able to see the space shuttle pads, a close up of a moon rocket and much much more. For more information about the Kennedy Space Center visit www.kennedyspacecenter.com Read more…

For the majority of us, the most exotic animals we’ve encountered have been in the world’s zoos, offering us a close-up glimpse of animals we might never otherwise see. Yet there is nothing more magical or uplifting as watching wild creatures within their natural habitats. Cruise ships are a great way to get to the more secluded corners of the globe, and offer all kinds of opportunities to discover wildlife around the world. Fantastic day excursions can provide close-up encounters which teach us about different species as well as how we can protect the world they live in.
Cruises which venture into the wilds of Alaska not only offer close-up views of the truly breath-taking landscapes, but passengers can book shore excursions which will take them into bear country. Oceania Cruises are just one of the companies which offer such trips, with day excursions to Prince of Wales Island – just a 30 minute seaplane journey from the mainland, and home to the biggest population of black bears. The streams here are rich with salmon and its location is remote, making it perfect for these bears to thrive without threat. Your guide will take you on a walk along the island’s beach before heading to popular places where bears will often fish for salmon. While bear sightings cannot be guaranteed, the beauty of this remote place is still worth seeing. And of course, if you do see a bear, it will be an experience you’ll never forget. Read more…
We all know children are creative and it doesn’t really matter what they are playing but as long as they are engaged and having fun, we as parents are happy. We are even happier if we feel that what they are doing is teaching them something.
This past season I thought to help out with the cold weather and keep the kids from going stir crazy (or better yet me) I bought the kids a kids play tent called a Pirate Hide-Away from The Tent Depot.com. It did not take long for the adventure to begin.
I soon discovered that our great room had transformed into the Great Seas. My boys faced harsh winds, longs days in the sun and of course they had to fight to protect their ship from other pirates. They made eye patches, put bandanas on their heads and made swords out of cardboard, not to mention their attempts to speak just like a pirate. Read more…

Someone once said that location is everything, and when it comes to Phuket accommodations, that person could not have been more right. Location really is everything when it comes to choosing Phuket accommodations that you will not come to regret later. As visitors to a foreign country, you will not have much knowledge of the land, nor will you have easy access to private transport.

Many visitors to Phuket choose to stay in the Patong area, without having first found out about the other areas in Phuket. Many of them choose Phuket accommodations in the Patong area simply because it is the area that is most popular with tourists. While in many countries the area that is most popular with tourists is also the most desirable area in which to stay, this is not the case with Phuket. While Patong is certainly a lively and interesting area with great food and even better nightlife, the truth is that staying in the Patong area is often an exercise in navigating through thick crowds and enduring the teeming buzz of the nightlife.
