One of my first jobs ever was that of an international flight attendant. It was the perfect job for a young single with no ties. Back then, being a flight attendant was a coveted position, and came with some prestige. You had to be the best of the best in many areas. The airline that hired me required me to have a second language. Please don’t ask me mine. It now has gone the way of the spinning wheel.
In any case, my life has been one travel adventure after another. I left the airline business and entered the cruise industry. Some people acquire things, I acquire travel experiences, and while intangible it’s money well spent.
Few people can say they cruised the Nile, saw The Pyramids
and visited King Tuts tomb. What about a trip to the Taj Mahal on a brutally
hot day? Memories of St. Petersburg, Russia are now mine to keep.
Years ago, going to places like Hong Kong and Bangkok were
long weekend trips. New Zealand is a place still near and dear to my heart and
makes the top ten list of my favorite places to return. It’s a place I think I
can easily live. Sweden and Denmark are also on my non bucket list. And Italy, well
who doesn’t like Rome, Milan, Venice and Capri? Florence is still on my to do
list.
My most recent overseas trip took me into London. First. I visited with a friend, overnighted, and then took the train to South Hampton to board my cruise. This voyage took me to Hamburg, Paris, Rotterdam, and Belgium. I called it the hop on, hop off, bus.
Vacations and getaways have taken me to Barcelona, Rio, Croatia, and Alaska. But lately, I have been on the See America tour. A contract job has brought me to New Orleans, Nashville, Minneapolis, and Memphis. I’ve flown to Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St. Louis to make sure guests have a smooth boarding experience. Seeing America has been just as intriguing as any of those foreign ports.
So, readers where is your favorite place to vacation? Share!

Marcia, I just saw an advertisement about a New England cruise that intrigued me. I've been to Boston for a conference and visited a friend in northern New Hampshire but that's it. I've a maternal relative who arrived on the 2nd boat (after the Mayflower). Edward Rawson was an important figure in Massachusetts and there is even a plaque commemorating his accomplishments. And I've always wanted to see the Maine coast. Who knows if I'll actually make the journey. I'm not sure how well I'd manage on a boat with my balance and vestibular issue but it's wonderful to dream about it.
Go! Go! Go! Ive done the fall foliage cruises and they're wonderful. I love Boston you have to do it.
