"Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller."
» Ibn Battuta
Not here quite a year yet but coming up in a few months.
A lifetime nomad without a home and ironically, a homebody who also loves to travel and explore.
Be kind to each other. Let's keep Bluesky the civil, inclusive, and diverse space that it is. 😊
🌍 Rome, Italy

This may be my 5th time back in Rome and I'm still finding new sights to check out. I'm there, of course, to catch another Transatlantic cruise back to the US.
Here are a few sights I checked out during my 1st evening there. Always a treat! 😊

I still have a road-trip through the entire eastern Canadian provinces on my bucket list. Hopefully make it a #foodie centric one to find the best lobster roll.
Any suggestions on when and where I can find the best lobster roll? 😋

🌎 Apollo Beach, FL, USA
🗓️ 2014 Nov. 13
Tampa Electric's Manatee Viewing Center is a great (and free) spot for viewing manatees, the gentle endangered species of marine mammals.
As warm-blooded animals, they love warm waters and the nearby Big Bend Power Station supplies it.

🌏 Papeete, Tahiti island, French Polynesia
🗓️ 2019 Nov. 12
The South Pacific islands have been high on my bucket list of places to see. What better way to visit a lot of them than a cruise ship.
But first, I had to fly into Papeete for a short stay to check out the sights. 😁

This is the Miradouro Serra do Cume viewpoint offering stunning panoramas of the island's lush patchwork of green pastures divided by lava rock walls.

🌍 Rome, Italy
🗓️ 2021 Nov. 16
I have to say this is the cutest police car I've ever seen. Very practical for parking but not great for chasing down the bad guys.
Maybe it's the parking police and they just need a small car to get around. Although small is an understatement. 🤣

It's an unusual and breathtaking hidden treasure that may not last forever. Go while you can to experience this stunning hilltop town.
It's a long but scenic walk up the pedestrian bridge to the town. 😮

This opinion article lays out some of the new entertainment on board the new Star Princess. Sounds amazing and more importantly, something new. NCL could learn from this!
I'll have to add the Star Princess to my list of cruise ships to try. 😊

The rotten apple (CEO David) didn't fall far from dad's tree of right wing playbook.
"Reports indicate that women in senior roles were disproportionately affected. Some 14 television executives were dismissed, and 11 of them were women."

This is the Kek Lok Si Temple, located on the island of Penang.
This must-visit site is the largest Buddhist temple in Malaysia and its sprawling complex was started in the late 1800s. Best time to visit is Chinese New Year for the lights.

I like that Royal Caribbean and Celebrity are constantly innovating.
Going into river cruises, Celebrity brings a familiar brand and hopefully experience to that more intimate form of cruising.
And RC is always coming up with more WOW features!
