Uniworld Boutique River Cruises to Italy or France
Italy and France are two extremely interesting countries. There is so much history and beauty in them that only visiting them and seeing for yourself can do them justice. Uniworld River Cruises are truly All-Inclusive! One of the nicest things is that you only have to unpack once. You get to relax, have a glass of wine, eat gourmet food and let the ship move you from one lovely town to another. I have been to both countries and I can whole heartedly recommend them.
IF YOU ARE A LOVER OF HISTORY AND ART as well as FOOD AND WINE–
THESE RIVER CRUISES ARE FOR YOU!

National Parks: Do you remember your 1st “REAL” vacation …
— The one where you went somewhere else besides home to see Mom?
My 1st REAL vacation was with my sister, Bert.
We visited the Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, and the Rocky Mountains,all were remarkable National Parks.
After that, I was hooked on the Western USA. And I still am!
I made a vow … then to visit all the National Parks before I die.
I still have a few to check off, but I continue to plan a visit every time I get close to one. There are 3 on this list that I need to get to.
Planning is all part of the fun.
I can help when you start making your plans. I encourage you to start doing that today.

How much is your time worth?
If you’re like me, you want that ultimate vacation or honeymoon experience. It’s easier than you might think! Being informed of the possibilities is the first thing you want to do and then plan ahead. Planning vacations can be a very daunting task and is not everyone’s strength. Consider consulting a travel expert to plan your dream vacation. They will do all the work for you. All you have to do is show up and go on your ultimate vacation experience and have the time of your life.
How much is your time worth? Your time might be better spent doing the things you do best and leave the travel plans to a travel expert. Have you ever researched a vacation online, then traveled, only to find out it just wasn’t quite like those glorious pictures you saw? Perhaps you returned home saying, “I wish I had——–” (you can fill in the blanks). After that happened to me a few times, I began to call on an experienced travel expert to help me sort it all out. Eventually, I got to be as good as that expert and became one myself. I founded SusanRogersTravels.com to help others, who love to travel, sort out the, Quality vs. Quantity, dilemma. I can do that for you!

“LET’S TAKE AN ARMCHAIR TRIP TOGETHER: ALASKA CRUISE.”
“One of the most beautiful and interesting places I’ve traveled to is Alaska. Many people say that they have sailed to The Inside Passage and think that this is all there is to Alaska. NOT!!! It is so huge that I think it would take 5 or 6 trips to see it all. Now, granted, I’m a nature lover from top to bottom. I’ve been twice for 14 day trips and saw not only the Inside Passage, but The Yukon Territory and the central portion containing Denali National Park. I’ve seen close to 20 each of grizzly bears, moose, caribou and Dall Sheep; a couple of wolves, and even a big porcupine. I’ve flown over Mt. McKinley (it’s huge), ridden the Denali train from Fairbanks to Anchorage and stayed in a couple of lodges along the way. My next trip I want to take a plane out to a remote lodge and see those big bears catching salmon jumping out of the river. I’d also like to see the pod of whales returned to Alaska for the summer. I saw them during the winter in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. In order to prepare you for an exciting adventure, I’m inviting you to join me as I attend an on-line Webinar. I watch many every week and find them to be a great way to learn about a destination. Come along with me on this armchair trip to Alaska.” Bon Voyage, Susan

What’s the difference? River Cruising or Ocean Cruising?
Does smooth sailing and smaller group gatherings with a more intimate feeling appeal to you?
Or, do you prefer the hustle bustle of a huge group and long walks to get all over a ship as well as on and off?
Do you prefer all-inclusive sailings with soft drinks, wine, beer and perhaps other alcohol, including shore excursions? Perhaps you like paying extra for all of that?
In a nutshell, I believe that River Cruising is a most enjoyable way to travel and gives you greater value because of their all-inclusive deals.

Are “LOOSE LIPS SINKING YOUR SHIP” ?
Are “LOOSE LIPS SINKING YOUR SHIP”
This a question posed by Jamie Saxe in an article on TravelResearchOnline-Smith. It caught my attention mainly because I’ve been promoting a Special 70th Anniversary WW II D-DAY Memorial Cruise sailing June 2014 and this question seemed timely. My Father was stationed in France during WW II. As a 4 year old child I remember him coming home on the train to Hammond, La. where we waited for him. When he got off the train he was singing “Oh, what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day. I’ve got a beautiful feeling, everything’s going my way!” Funny the little things one remembers when a child. Later, after Mom and Dad had both passed on, I found a postcard of The Arc de Triomphe from Paris that he had written to my Mom. It was written in Oct 1941 when I was 3 months old. The surprising thing was the date it was stamped as mailed by postal service—Nov 1944. Who knows where that card had been taken to before the Army sent it on home. When I was in Paris for a River Cruise on the Seine, I had my picture taken in front of the Arc. If those stones could only talk.

European Cruise AmaWaterways Wine 2014 Specials
Amber light casts its netand foliage begins to morph into striking shades of red and orange. There is something very magical about experiencing the beauty of Europe during the fall. Maybe it’s because the air is refreshingly crisp after months of warm weather. Maybe it’s because the crowds of summer tourists have left and locals begin to prepare for the holidays ahead. Or maybe it’s because the stunning colors and smells of the season seem to amplify the radiance of everything around you.
Whatever it is, Europe’s grand capitals and historic landmarks are even more breathtaking during this time of year. And seeing cities like Paris, Amsterdam and Budapest transform into an autumn paradise is that much better aboard an AmaWaterways river cruise.
