New Website


Recommended Posts

Hello!

I've been posting our website on threads, where I thought it might be relevant, but we've been tweaking it here and there, so until that was done..

I decided to wait on posting it in this forum, but now I think it's officially ready

I'm using googlepages, sometimes the photoalbums can be slow to load, if you see the small red x in a box just back out and re-enter.

I'm open to constructive feedback, just send me an email or post here!

Enjoy!

Karen

Hi Everyone...

I have usually posted my website in threads that are related to specific area of my website,

unfortunatly while useful for the traveler, it appears rules would indicate I shouldn't do that as they seem to disappear..VERY FRUSTRATING

 

I want to say once again for the powers that be at Cruise Critic...

this site is not commercial, no advertising, it is our personal travel

journal.

So, here's just a sampling of our site.

If you want view info regarding Croatia and Montenegro

go into Our Next Adventure..there's videos, private driver options and if you email me I will send you our Sights to See checklists.

If you want to view pictures on the

Pacific Princess ~ Hawaii/Tahiti sailing

or want to see pictures of Pacific Northwest Cruise

Then go into Karen's Cruise Corner

If you want to know the European Version of Dollar Stores

go to the journal and then money page

If you want to see how Princess makes homemade Limoncello

check out the Something to quench your thirst section

If you want to know about Baltic Cruising, check out

all pictures on the home page

In the St. Petersburg link is our private tour with Red October

at the the bottom of that page is a link that will take

you to our review of all the ports on the Baltic Itinerary.

Along with lists of Sights to See in Each port.

There's all sorts of nooks and crannies for you to explore.

with quite a few more tips that we have found useful in our

travels!

Buon Viaggio!

Where2next,

 

That website with your photos and all is fantastic. It worked very smoothly in my browsers and it is quite convenient to enlarge the photos as you wish.

 

Great job! Looking forward to seeing more.

Your website was great and we enjoyed looking at the pictures. We are going to be sharing this website with a group that is going with us on the Star Princess April 2009. Many are first time cruisers so we think they will find what you have shown very impressive, if you haven't been before it is hard to picture what others are sharing with you. Thanks for creating a great web site.

Hi!

Thank you very much! and you're very welcome...

it's been a labor of love!

That started off for friends last March and has grown and grown.

We wanted it to be like a travel journal we hand wrote..and then loaned to you...some info you already know, other info you've forgotten

and then of course that little gem where you think...what a great idea why didn't I think of that!

Many friends wondered....why are you going THERE, whenever we announced our next adventure...

so we started adding videos .. so they would know and be inspired in planning a trip abroad.

We hope they do the same for you!

There will never be any advertising If we like a product, we suggest it because we think you will too!

I hope you have chance to wander around the nooks and crannies

The journal area has all sorts of stuff including games that will have you hooked!

In Something to quench your thirst section in the journal

is the video on how Princess makes its homemade limoncello

Feel free to email us if you have any questions...

Buon Viaggio!

K.

Especially if you can be described as one or more of the following

You've seen spices markets on your travels, you love to cook and/or bake, you appreciate art of all forms,

and you have that wonder of ...how did they do that?

Enjoy!
