Some interesting things we’ve been reading lately: 1. The 45 Places to go in 2012 2. Autism friendly hotels 3. A credit card with no foreign transaction fees (and it earns you lots of miles)?

I’m about to have a new travel experience this week. I’m sure this is old hat for many of you, but I’m about to go on my first cruise–the Weezer Cruise, to be exact! I’ve always been skeptical about cruises. Sure, they’re fine for some people, but I want to see a place on a […]
We’ve had the pleasure of doing some travel planning for our friend Melinda before, but were especially excited to hear from her in early December requesting a mystery trip to celebrate her second wedding anniversary, which just happens to fall over New Years. They were open to a variety of trips, but mostly wanted a […]
Alright, now that we’ve covered the When, Where, and Who of cruising (see Parts 1 and 2 of this series), we can go over the Which (picking a ship). Which? With so many ships to choose from, how do you begin to sort through them all? Thanks to dedicated past cruisers, there are a plethora […]

First of all, we’d like to thank our friend Melinda for having us as visitors in her new home in San Francisco! Secondly, we’d like to thank her for writing the guest blog below and also invite you to check our her blog, Palindrome at Home. I warned them not to call it Frisco Bay. […]
