    Thanks for the comments Ashley! All of that traveling and you haven’t been to Hawaii yet? i am sure you will love it. Cruising is one of my favorite ways to travel as well. I love to camp, but there’s just something great about free 24-hour room service…

    I bet that throughout those trips you picked up some great stories along the way. Do any come to mind that you would like to share? I bed some interesting things happened in Tunisia and/or Rome.

    Whether they are success stories or cautionary tales, we would love to hear them!

    I love this idea- I travel around the world with my family and am always looking to share my stories and hear all about others experiences. One of my favorite ways to travel is on cruises because the cruise lines always seem to know the best places to go and things to do in locations all over the world, plus it is a safe way to travel to unfamiliar locations.
    Most recently I have traveled through the Mediterranean visiting some of the most beautiful and cultured locations in the world. I loved visiting Rome and the Vatican City- it was amazing to see my faith portrayed in beautiful artwork. Another location we visited was Malta, an Island off the side of Italy. The we visited a beautiful fisherman’s village with so many interesting colors and views- a wonderful place to relax and just watch the locals go about their daily lives. Another memorable stop on the NCL Cruise (my favorite cruise line!) was to the African country of Tunisia. This was one of the most interesting cultural experiences I have ever had! I enjoyed the cheap deals we got while shopping through the side streets, and had a big laugh with my siblings and friends when we all joined back at the bus and noticed that the kids had bargained and got much better deals than our parents! When all was said and done- the experience was interesting, but the people were a bit pushy- so if you are not looking for somewhat of an intense bargaining experience you might wanna see the artifacts and other excursions that you can do.
    I have cruised to all sorts of other locations as well including the Caribbean, Russia, Finland, Norway, Ireland, Scotland, and many other countries. I want to hear all about other’s experiences and suggestions about great places to visit, I am currently considering visiting Hawaii next!

      Ashley,
      Hawaii is a beautiful place. Especially, the outer islands. But
      did you ever consider a visit to Tahiti? Moorea and Bora Bora
      are two of the most gorgeous places on earth! These islands
      are less crowded and more remote than Hawaii. Picture
      yourself in an over-the-water-bungalow in Bora Bora with
      crystal clear aqua water and multi-colored fish right under
      your deck! There are also cruise ships to take around the isalnds. I promise you will not be disappointed!
