Trip Ideas?

If things go decently in the next six months, I may have enough money
for a few trips. So, I'm looking at information on the net and sending
for some and trying to decide where to visit and when. Suggestions and
ideas are really appreciated. Matthew, where do you get your cruise
information at and where do I find out if there are cruises that don't
require a passport?

The wish list is endless. The USA, of course, especially a trip up the
Mississippi River on a paddle boat; The British Isles, Germany, Finland,
Slovenia, Italy and Greece Islands, New Zealand, Australia, The
Caribbean Islands, Canada, and so forth.

I'm making my fifth trip to Australia in a couple of months. If you want
any tips about Australia, feel free to email me. I can tell you more than
you probably want to know about the land down under, and even recommend a
couple of books about it.

YAY!!!! This is among the things I'm looking for. Am also looking at
what to pack as I'm among those who take my "Nook" I-pod, and lap top
traveling with me.

Do not try to cuddle the koalas. From one who did.

his next pick for a cruise, its the one that takes you by train up through
cananada, then you cruise in alaska then train back down the west coast of
us/canananada, Lee

If you come to the US, you should get out to Yellowstone, one of the
most remarkable places on the planet, see it before it blows up ;-)

Joy, I'm planning a trip to Australia, New Zealand, and Figi. Is it alright
if I send email for that same type of information?

Thanks,

You will likely have a problem finding cruises that don't require a
passport. I'm pretty sure that non USA registered cruise ships
(virtually all of them) have to hit a foreign port on their rounds
possibly due to the Jones Act. And any foreign port means a passport.
Not sure why, but I was thrilled to get a passport. Something about
the possibilities that having one opens up.

Pam, I suggest that you go ahead and get a passport. The process is easy,
and you would be prepared if you go somewhere where one is required. You
would be much better off to go ahead and get one now rather than worry later
about whether you had enough time.
