Hi Everyone!

I just did a Blog on

"The Happiest Cruise that ever Sailed the World"

also known as It's a Small World @ Disneyland

it includes the news article on the horrific changes that are being made, info on the history

and a GREAT vintage video of the ride when it was at the World's Fair in 1964

Enjoy

Hi Everyone..

A couple of things ...

Last week we hit over 20,000 visitors in less than a year :eek:

There's been a couple new blogs

BUT what I think you will be interested in...

I did a full list of Rick Steves publishing schedule.

Not all of his guidebooks are update annually anymore, and most people still have in the back of their mind that he still does this.

It's a comprehensive list confirmed by his customer service dept. yesterday.

Just go into our website, then the journal section and then planning.. scroll down until you see Rick Steves!!!

Buon Viaggio

The Blog has quite a few items in it...

Hi Everyone

I just uploaded all of my Alaskas port photos and the Stock Photo that was sold onboard the Pacific Princess.

I also added a list of locally owned businesses in the ports that our some of my favorites.

You will find these in Karen's Cruise Corner..under Pacific Princess~Alaska

(I will be tweaking the grammatical errors later when I have a bit more time)

I know most of you know this, but if you are new to our website.

We are never paid in any manner to suggest or recommend something.If we like it, we want to share it with others ...it's that simple.

Enjoy! and if you have any questions let me know!

[California Native]

Hi Everyone...

I just added more links for finding cruise ships in port with you

for a total of 9 resources.

This is especially helpful if you are traveling by land too!

Just go into Karen's Cruise Corner and then into Port Schedules

or ...... http://ourpassportstamps.com/Port_Schedules.html

Enjoy!

[California Native]

Hi Everyone!

I just added Delphi and Meteora, Greece pictures in the photo section!

for those of you that are cruising

Itea is the port for Delphi

Volos is the port for Meteora

They made us smile!

I was hoping for some pix of the ships (like the Mercury)

[California Native]

Sorry, no pictures of the Mercury...

 

I wasn't impressed with it, and it seems that most people on the Celebrity board have been on it or aren't

really interested in the smaller/older ships of the fleet

Also, during the time frame that I sailed on the Mercury the website that you looked at

wasnt in existence YET!

and was developed a few months later.

In fact it's only been a little over a year that we have had our website and over 29,000 visitors

have seemed to enjoy it.

 

As you realize we aren't a commercial website...so we might not have every single detail the same for each adventure

 

I took pictures of the Star Princess because it was right after drydock and everyone on the Princess board

was interested in the new changes

 

and people have always wanted more info on the Pacific Princess.

 

If we ever sail on the Mercury again I will take pictures ...

 

Next year we will be taking extensive pictures on Azamara Journey and then I will be doing a comparison

of the Journey to the Pacific since they were originally part of Renaissance and are sisters.

 

I hope you enjoyed wandering the rest of the website there's A LOT of information on it for the cruiser and/or land traveller

 

Bon Voyage

Thanks SanNic, I do appreciate the comments! :)

 

 

EVERYONE...

 

The stat counter just hit 9,000 this week and it's only been 3 months! :eek: :)

 

I wanted to once again solicit feedback from all of you..

 

Is there anything you think could be improved?

 

Feel free to post your comments here, not in the smilebox albums..

 

or of course you can email me through the website!

 

Merci, Grazie, and Hvala!

 

 

Awesome blog and pictures thanks so much for sharing with us!

[California Native]

Thank you so much! We're happy to hear you enjoy it!

now for UPDATES!

Today, I revamped the ...

Is there a group onboard section in Karen's Cruise Corner

I removed old listings and added quite a few more for this fall and 2010 sailings.

http://ourpassportstamps.com/Isthereagrouponboard_.html

Port Schedules section..to see how many ships in port with you

I added one more option for Alaska, Hawaii and the PacificCoast Ports

http://ourpassportstamps.com/Port_Schedules.html

Also, in case you haven't seen it..we changed our 2010 Adventure a couple of months ago

and I never updated it here. We are taking a B2B on Azamara for the Eastern Med and HolyLand

http://ourpassportstamps.com/Our_2010_Adventure.html

Well, off to keep weeding through all of our Greece, Turkey and Bulgaria photos...

I've come to the conclusion..we take waaaaayyyy to many pics! :)

[TeaBag]

Your web site is astounding! How have I missed it till today? Thank you so much for posting all this. We were in Tahiti, Bora Bora etc just one month after you. It is now 2 years ago almost and I am just finishing my scrapbook of that trip from Honolulu to Sydney.

[California Native]

Hi TeaBag...

Thank you so much!

We are doing a lot behind the scenes stuff right now...

organizing our trip report and photos from our last trip...so more will be added in the next week or so...

Didn't you just love the South Pacific?

Moorea is one of my favorite places in the whole world!

When time allows I will be redoing those albums and adding more photos..

Our website started off very small just for family and friends and then more and more cruisecritic buddies asked for info in personal emails...and it has just grown..but in the process I'm realizing that I want to add more to the photo albums we initially started with such as Tahiti

I usually post website updates in this section, so feel free to check back..and if you have questions just let me know here or through the website email

[bencruzN]
