Rail Trip To Seattle Review
Over my lifetime, I have traveled fairly extensively domestically and internationally. I’ve done a lot of air travel, bus travel (city and Greyhound), light rail travel, some other train travel (mostly in Europe) and a lot of travel by car. This year my wife and I will be doing our first cruise. I hesitate to write this, because it is a nice secret. On short to medium length trips, Amtrak rail is a really nice and viable option. On long trips, only if you have a private sleeper berth/car. Having said that. I discovered this week that rail is[...]
Rail + Travel Packages
You fill in the blank! I am pretty fond of taking the train and going on short overnight trips. I just recently did one between Vancouver, WA and Seattle, WA. See my review. I will say that 2-4 hour trips on Amtrak can be quite pleasant, as long as you are willing to catch an Uber when you get to your destination. I live in the Pacific Northwest where traffic is not so pleasant a lot of the time in the major cities. I find riding the train much more enjoyable than the stress of driving or flying. So have[...]
Great Things To Do In The Pacific Northwest – Travel Like A Local
As a travel agent in the Portland and Vancouver Metropolitan areas, I spend a lot of my time helping people go on vacations FROM this area. When you already live in an area that has a great year-round temperature range and climate, it's hard to imaging leaving from here. But many of us love to travel. So instead of talking about other places to go, I thought I would write a "quick" article about the top things I enjoy doing here in the great Pacific Northwest. I have many friends that live elsewhere that are always asking me what there[...]
Victoria, BC (Canada) in the Spring/Summer
Spring, summer and early fall are magical times of the year in Victoria, BC. There is so much to do, once you are there. But half of the fun is in the trip getting there. If you already live in the Pacific Northwest, then you can pick your mode of travel, ranging from car, to Amtrak, to a cruise from Seattle or simply flying right into Victoria, BC. It depends on how much time you have to enjoy the area. You may know that the triangle of Seattle, WA - Vancouver, BC - Victoria BC can be a wonderful playground[...]
Review – Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines – 7 Day Western Caribbean Cruise
Grand Cayman Islands, Cozumel and Progresso/Yucatan, Oct 26, 2024 - Nov 2, 2024 My wife and I began our cruise out of the Port of New Orleans, Louisiana Julia Street Terminal for Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines. It is a really nice area, about 2 blocks from several major hotels, many famous restaurants and Caesar's casino. I can highly recommend Drago’s restaurant, inside the Hilton Riverside. Great seafood, steaks, boudain and gumbo (lookup Cajun food). It was approaching high pricing, but was a good value considering the area and what you got.[...]
