Disney Cruise Line: Virtual Portholes In Cabins

Remember when you first started cruising decades ago? With a limited budget, your cabin was small and the only view you had was during daytime through that small, round porthole. All you could see was the sea. If you were in an inside cabin, you saw nothing.

Now, with ever-advancing technology, even the lowest inside cabins on cruise ships could offer more enjoyable porthole views. Of course, the scenes are digital, and portray fascinating video of soaring clouds, high mountains, stately sailing ships and sandy beaches.

Now on some, there are animated cartoon and movie characters. Passengers on Disney’s Dream and Fantasy ships will now enjoy inside what they fantasize about picturesque happenings outside.

Disasters in Haiti and Peru

Our hearts, thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Haiti. We urge donations to the Red Cross and other major agencies. We also express our best wishes to the people of Peru, in Cusco and Aguas Calientes. We traveled there in August 2008, and would have been stranded had we gone during the flooding last week.

Visit LA's notorious gangland

If you’ve visited Los Angeles in previous travels, and are tired of movie star home tours, Betty Grable legs in cement and Walk of Stars sidewalk freaks, here’s an unusual experience that may appeal to you.

For a mere $65, on your next trip you can sign up for a tour of the ill-famed South Central area of Los Angeles, where the Crips, Bloods and other gangs still roam the streets. Of course, you’ll be protected on a bus with a guide most of the time, but you could have the thrill of seeing a drug deal go down, street hookers working or cops dragging a couple of tough guys off in handcuffs. What more fun would you want?
