My Road Less Traveled By

I have never been a cruise ever.  However, this is one of those things I would love to do.  My inlaws went on a Royal Caribbean(I think) cruise several years ago and absolutely loved it. They actually told us that we need to take one ourselves one day, because it was one of the best vacations they had ever had. After doing some research, I have found that there are several different kinds of cruises you can take. They range from Celebrity Cruises all the way to just using the Norwegian Cruise Line. Currently, my inlaws are in Hawaii. Now, if they would have used a company like Direct Line Cruises, they could have taken a cruise there instead of the forever long airplane trip (which may be a great option for my family with two little ones under the age of 5)! Direct Line Cruises include destinations such as Alaska (which I would seriously love to do!), Bermuda, Canada, the Caribbean, and Europe — just to name a few. Personally, I have always wanted to take an Alaskan cruise. I have heard it is absolutely awesome to go and do. Direct Line Cruises has been around since 1995, so they have been around the block a few times. This is definitely not a fly by night company. They also make booking super easy — it is a just a phone call away or a couple of clicks online!

Why am I talking about Mad Gringo Hawaiian shirts on a travel blog? Well, these shirts scream vacation to me. Though these aren’t up Bill’s alley, I do know a person that absolutely loves Hawaiian shirts:

This is my sister’s husband Andy. As you can tell, he is a huge fan of Hawaiian shirts. He even think Hawaiian is a color, and has taught Madison that (yes, her preschool teachers love that). If you check out my sister’s blog, any pictures she has of any on there he is wearing a Hawaiian shirt. That is how much he loves them. He is a pretty easy person to shop for, because well you can guess what we buy him. He would love to win a Hawaiian shirt over at the contest on Drew’s blog the Wired Kayaker, so I decided to enter for him. He deserves it, since he makes my sister happy (and what more can I ask for). Here’s some more information about the contest:
