Booking

I have been wanting to book a Transatlantic cruise on a new ship. Two weeks is about as long as I can do. Jubilee was going to be too long. Celebration would’ve been just about right. But I really don’t like that they keep launching these new ships during…

New York Magic: Sail Away

on
December 2, 2022

I got what I thought was going to be a good spot for sail away. Then I realized I’m probably going to want to be on the other side of the ship for the city view.
The captain said sail away is delayed because we still have people who haven’t…

New York Observatories

on
November 21, 2022

There are currently five observatories in New York City. I visited all of them on my recent trip. Visiting all of them is time consuming and expensive so hopefully this will help you decide which New York observatory is best for you.

New York Rooftop Bars

on
November 18, 2022

I had many rooftop bars on my list in New York City. I made it to four of them. One of the four I wouldn’t even bother with. The other three are all worth visiting for various reasons depending on what you’re looking for. 
The first rooftop bar I visited…

New York Food

on
November 14, 2022

I always go into trips with eyes bigger than my stomach. In New York that was no different. I thought I was going to have a bagel every morning, a slice of pizza every day, a hot dog every day, a pastrami sandwich every day, as well as other…
