    Disney Cruising For All, Some or NONE..?

    Emily Swinehart has two cruises booked on Disney; one is for her and her husband and one as a family. Having previously sailed Disney, Emily did not hesitate to book these two cruises. Known as a more expensive vacation investment Emily still booked Disney, even for her couples cruise, because of the quality they offer. I was surprised but really interested to learn more. She has concerns over the sailings and potential masking for her kids but is hopeful for a smooth return to sailing and no cancellations.. This is one of two interviews I recorded for a forth coming article in Military Families Magazine. The previous interview with cruise agency owner Valery Gossett can be heard here: https://www.travelradiopodcast.com/post/see-the-future-the-crystal-ball-of-cruising-episode

    Three C's San Miguel De Allende: Cooking, Colors and a Cathedral | The Heart of Mexico

    Why is San Miguel De Allende called the Heart of Mexico? You'll just have to listen to find out. Travel, food and culture writer Katy Spratte Joyce shares her tips on San Miguel De Allende, Mexico. When planning a travel to San Miguel De Allende consider finding a cooking classes with a local chef. You will start in a market and turn your purchases into local cuisine. Katy always recommends exploring a local culture through your stomach. I agree. Feed me all of the food (and margaritas). Walk of your meal by exploring the white wall mural project. Find a guide to help you navigate as the project is ongoing and murals will change. They will be able to provide you with the connection or significance the art plays to San Miguel De Allende, Mexico. Katy''s third tip is to explore the iconic city cathedral. My own request is to make sure you tour respectfully and not snap photography while mass is in session. Not ready to leave the San Miguel De Allende yet? Plan a day trip through the local wine region (forth coming episode with Korrine Johnson on this). It's about an hour drive and provides an excellent way to bookend your trip with culinary delights.

    Quintana Roo, Swimming with Whale Sharks

    Quintana Roo, Swimming with Whale Sharks. Lori Gold, Riviera Maya expert shares her insights from first hand encounters. M: Today we are going to stay in the region of Quintana Roo as we were also in for our last episode. To give us some geographical orientation I want you to picture Mexico as a mermaid's tale. She is doing a little swish to the right. Quintana Roo is at the upper part of the mermaid's right most flipper. The Isle of Mujeres is just off the east coast of that. How do you like my description Lori? L: Totally accurate 😉 M: This is another adventure by water and imagining today's topic I just feel really small. So, can you please introduce today's topic and who the ideal traveler is for this activity. L: Swimming with Whale Sharks and it's for all nature lovers! M: So I imagine you swimming in gorgeous clear waters and then beast of tremendous scale surrounding you on all sides. What is the experience really like? L: The water is dark and it makes you feel very small. M: Did you have any introspective moments during or after your swim? Did you gain any life perspective your would like to share? L:  It really makes you feel small. You have a great respect for nature and your place in it. M: Any tips, warnings or guidance travelers need to know before committing to this daring swim? L: They don't want you to wear sunscreen so that the animals are not exposed to it. Wear a rash guard if you can. Most tours will also feed you after and the setting will be in gorgeous placid water. Its a wonderful ending. M: Is there any sort of eco, educational or conservation component to this trip? L: Not that I am aware of but the guides and locals and invested in their country. For example they will teach you about the sunscreen, what they eat, etc. M: What are we missing? This is your time to share anything I've missed! L: For anyone that wants to visit the Riviera Maya I am happy to help you plan your trip and answer questions. M: Thank you for being my guest once again. Let's plan another recording sooner than later! L: Right oh! M: Bye everyone and thank you for listening! L: Byeeee!
