But from my bedroom in the suburbs of Chicago, there was an image I couldn’t get out of my head, a memory from a childhood trip in Vermont: little carved signs pointing... Read more ..read more

I just got back from a two week Viking ocean cruise that included stops in England, Scotland, Wales, and ended up - as many of them do - in Bergen, Norway. This was my 6th Viking cruise, three ocean and three river. There is simply no denying that the river cruises are better.

For me it was the Dominican Republic. All inclusive resort in Punta Cana and the food was terrible. I became pretty sick. Not that impressed with the beaches either. Not as clean as other resorts I have been too. I have Dominican neighbors and they could not be nicer people but the employees at this resort were anything but nice nor helpful.
