You know how American “Christian” nationalists seem to prefer the Old Testament over the New? Seems to apply to their love of the Constitution but not so much the Amendments - with the very notable exception of the 2nd, of course. And maybe the 1st, but only for those they agree with.

In today’s act of rebellion, I’d like to celebrate #blackhistorymonth by sharing the story of Robert Smalls. www.battlefields.org/learn/biogra...

Fun travel day ahead! Taking @brightlinetc.bsky.social from Orlando to Miami so we can party like Rock Stars on Virgin Voyages. LMK if you have any questions about either of my favorite ways to travel! #train #cruise #vacation

Thinking about “Russians” from The Dream of the Blue Turtles. “We share the same biology regardless of ideology” hits home extra hard now the we’ve left the @who.int. But I remember many people chose to support a virus rather than act to protect humanity, so I guess it all checks out. #FAFO

How does the algorithm work here? I’d like to wean myself off Meta apps, so please help me find those who love Disney and cruise vacations, pets, endurance sports, and just generally being nice to one another. ‘k thanks!

In travel news, the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts started yesterday. In personal news, I regret not taking the time to pose inside this photo booth. I need to remedy that when I return next week! #scream

Yesterday morning, the talking heads on MSNBC declared children shouldn’t have phones in school and asked why we couldn’t go back to the good old days of having kids go to the office for urgent calls. Yesterday afternoon, we learned a second-grader called 911 to report a school shooter. That’s why.

Can we all take a moment to appreciate John Denver & The Muppets: A Christmas Together? I’m not always in the mood for the sillier songs, but whenever I need “the peace of Christmas Day,” this is my go-to album.

Time for another #travelmyth. Many people believe it costs more to use a travel agent, but most cruise lines and vacation destinations pay agencies out of their profit margin. Clients pay the same price as those who book themselves, but they get the benefit of our expertise. Talk about a win/win!

My travel clients often believe that EPCOT has “nothing for kids.” This always breaks my heart. From Frozen to Ratatouille to Finding Nemo, some of their favorites are represented in this park. Not to mention meeting with the Disney Princesses, often in their native lands! #travelmyths

Since @droehrlein.bsky.social decided to use this space to talk about his job, I guess I should follow suit. I’m the owner of Passes and Ports, a travel agency specializing in theme parks and cruises. I’ve been in the industry since 2005. Ask me anything! #AMA

Apparently if I show you mine, you’ll show me yours? Is that how this app works? Anyway, here’s my doggo.
