Northern Europe Cruise Trip Report - April 17 - 28, 2026

I booked this cruise on a whim, solo.  I just wanted to get away in April or May and saw this come up in email.  It was already final payment due, so 80 days out.  It's the first time I ever let a cruise company handle my airfare, so I was slightly worried and concerned but once it was done there was no sense fretting about it as there was nothing I could do...it was more the waiting to find out my flights that was bothersome, I struggle with things I have no control of.  I got my air tickets Feb. 5th and the flights were okay AND included luggage/carry-on, yay 😊.  Direct to Paris CDG and there is no direct from Copenhagen to home, so I had to stop in Toronto but that is usual anyway when no direct flight available...

Huatulco Trip Report - November 23 - 30, 2025...err...December 1st πŸ™„

My friend and I were last here in 2023 and not the best trip ever, for sure.  I found a really good deal (at least in these days of time) so we booked it for roughly $1600 each; one week including direct flights on WestJet (no carry-on included - we paid $100 each for luggage πŸ™„), TWO hotel rooms and full trip/medical insurance.  When I was talking to the owner (Hector) on WhatsApp about requesting mini-fridges, long story short; he ended up upgrading us to Suites with Kitchenettes so that was nice of him πŸ™πŸΌ!
