If you’re like most people, you probably have dreams of going on a cruise through the beautiful Bahamas or mystical Mediterranean coast.

If you read my post yesterday about our day in wonderful Mumbai, you’ll know that we enjoyed our first ever cruise ship shore excursion in India, with a few reservations. I’d ask you to go back and read it, if at all possible, by clicking the link in the first sentence, I’m on limited ship …
Our visit to Elephanta Island and Elephanta Caves of Mumbai, India. It’s a fairly long boat ride, but the caves and ancient temples are more than worth it and Mumbai itself is a must-visit destination in India. Let me start by saying that I’m crazy about India.

Nerves got to me in Southampton in February before our journey across the Atlantic to New York. I had no idea what lay ahead on our voyage and weather conditions concerned me. Want to know the good news? We loved our Atlantic crossing on Norwegian Getaway. So much so that we booked a return Atlantic crossing on …
During our first year of full time travel ( our family gap year, if you like) we were on a tight budget. We kept to around $50 per day in South East Asia and the whole year came in at $100 per day. During that year we took two cruises. Both were trans Atlantic repositioning …
