The posts categorised as blogs on this site will tend to be round-ups of what else has been published because travel-writing is kept separate. If you want to keep up-to-date with all the new and rewritten visits near and far that we've done then subscribing to the RSS feed or just frequenting the home page of this site is one way to do it but the blog posts here, posted less often, will typically summarise those posts. These summarised blog posts are also sent out as newsletters when written and you can find places to subscribe to them around the site.
Photos and descriptions of the cruise ships we’ve spotted while we ourselves have been on cruise ships on our many years of travelling. Cruising seems to be unique in that it’s the only form of travelling I can think of where people on passing modes of transport stare at, photograph, and wave at complete strangers with childish glee.

This is a travel-related website now. When I write up where we’ve been and the things we’ve seen and when I share photos of what we’ve experienced I hope to take the reader – who, is mostly just me (and that’s fine) – on a journey through time and space. Doctor Who is a travel-related TV programme. Each episode lets the producers show where the Doctor’s been and the things that have been seen and the visuals take us all on a journey through time and space. I’m saying this site is a bit like Doctor Who.

One of those end-of-the-year reviews of what’s happened with regards to our travels, much of which you’d know already if you read the site more often. But I’m not blaming you for that. There are also some bits that haven’t been published yet such as our last cruise and our last European break. In addition there’s a short list of what we’ve currently got planned in 2019; the countries we’ll be visiting; the ships we’ll be cruising on.

Why haven’t there been any updates on this website for over a month? Well, funny you should ask but we’ve been cruising in Asia aboard Diamond Princess and since coming back we’ve been a bit down (because that’s what happens after a cruise) and we’ve been a bit snowed under with processing photos (because that’s what happens to me after a cruise) and, well, now you know. More details inside…

This post covers any technical or content-related changes to the site over the last month as well as details about another old social network shutting down and a huge spike in traffic from the Reddit community; what happens when your site has the answer to a question that’s posed.

In this post I’m going to explain where I see myself amongst the various types of bloggers there are, specifically as it relates to cruise and/or travel bloggers. Additionally, I’m going to explain how I use social media and my reaction to the social media etiquette I see being broken every day. It’s worth noting, though, that these types of bloggers and this definition of etiquette are my personal ones as nothing official exists and it’s just a way for me to find my own niche and snuggle down in it when writing my travel posts and engaging with other people on the various social network platforms.

We’ve been lucky enough to have won something in a quiz every time that we’ve cruised with Princess Cruises to date. We’re fully aware that this run can’t continue forever but while the record is intact here’s every prize we’ve accrued aboard the various ships we’ve cruised on so far.
