Today is National Cookie Day and I purposely wanted to remind you right before lunch..lol
I love a "boneless" chocolate chip cookie....so much so that I make a batch and keep them in the freezer to bake a few at a time. I just bought brown sugar to make another batch since I ate my last stash.
I jazz up my chocolate chip cookies with butterscotch chips, pecans, and rum extract...DELICIOUS!!!

I've considered baking some for neighbors but I don't want to set an expectation..do you know what I mean?
What is your favorite cookie and are you going to pick up a dozen today? Do you have a favorite recipe that you jazz up? Go indulge in the sweet life.

Luxury has multiple levels on Virgin Voyages. When you book a Rockstar suite be prepared for all the great perks. To celebrate my birthday I knew I wanted a great experience. Not only did the itinerary span my birthday and my friend’s birthday but when we started planning the trip, there was a pro

The Happening Crew…is Virgin’s version of cruise director. Instead of you seeing one person scurrying from event to event, you will see a team of members instructing classes, getting you hype during evening events and just being the entertainment on the ship.

This year I've been able to cruise three totally different cruise lines with totally different experiences.

Calming waters along the river through quaint towns/ villages in the Netherlands and Belgium. Tasting different wines and cheeses in Gouda to visiting windmills that are still on operation. A river cruise is a slower pace and immersion into the country that you are touring.

Then I went on the adult only cruise that parties all night long. The excursions are not the typical cruise excursions. Be ready to make a sustainable impact on this cruise line. And think out of the box of what you think a cruise line should be because this one is far from it.

Lastly was the biggest weekend to the Bahamas. This ship has so much to do for the whole family... children, parents and grandparents. Not just a Broadway and comedy show but be ready for figure ice skating, water show and more. You might not want to get off the ship when you get to port.

I'll be discussing all of these at my cruise nights in a few weeks. Make sure you sign up as there will be exclusive offers as well. And all cruise line are associated with Virtuoso so exclusive amenities can be applied.

As beautiful as the Valiant Lady is, we did get off the ship to explore the ports. Instead of opting for an independent exploration day, we participated in the Chocolate, Rum, and Rancho Don Fernando Tour. You already know if rum is involved, I’m going to see what it’s about. We ported in Puerto...

I'm standing at the back of the ship looking forward.... there is still another side not pictured behind that bar. MASSIVE is the word I keep using but I'm enjoying my time.

, aren't you tired of cruising?
Actually I'm not. This week is a new adventure on the newest ship of the !! The World's Biggest Weekend sailing from Port Canaveral to Nassau and Perfect Day at CocoCay.
I've been to Nassau several times on other cruises but I am looking forward to CocoCay. It's been over 5 years since I've been there, so much has changed. From the pictures, it's MASSIVE!!!

I want to get you off the fence and help you explore different types of travel. I gave a sneak peek of what was to come...now the registration is open to learn more about cruising.

I've been back shore-side for a full week and I miss that ship!!!!
Look how happy I was up there on The Runway (signature red running track). No, I didn't do any running...just a photo-op. This was after the private event for First Mates (travel advisors) with Sir Richard...yes that Sir Richard (swipe).
I told you it was a celebration voyage, right? celebrated 30 years and and I celebrated 40 years!!!

I'm ready to see what 40 will bring!!!!

Everyone knows I can get a little hangry. Have you ever had a hangry moment? When I landed in Miami, the first thing on the agenda was to find something to eat. I stalked a restaurant based on a social media post and honed in on that location to be my first meal. Bistro Cafe Miami has a Latin fl

A day at Bimini Beach Club is what the doctor ordered. The seven mile beach includes shopping, lounging, food and more. A beach party and wading in the ocean can't get any better.

Since the club is part of , you can use your bar tab to purchase the perfect cocktail.

Make sure you apply plenty sunscreen.... it'll be hard to pull yourself out of the water to relax in the cabanas available to reserve.

Ahoy!!! I've finally been able to sit down and post a picture from my cruise. Our first stop was to Puerto Plata (Silver Port) in Dominican Republic.
I did participate in an culture focused excursion and will give a recap upon my return.
The weather was perfect and the company was great.
Before getting back on the ship, I wanted to capture a picture of the in the background. Isn't she a beauty?!?

Touching down in Miami to embark on the Valiant Lady tomorrow. I am over the top excited to bring in this milestone birthday on this ADULT ONLY cruise!!!!
Not only am I celebrating a milestone, so is Virgin Voyages and special guests will be on board with us. Hopefully, I can snag a photo to show you.

Before embarking, we'll be staying a night in Miami. If you don't already do this...take this as a Thursday Travel Tip...arrive a day early. You never know what kind of incidents might happen the day of that can cause you to miss your cruise.

This is my first true vacation of the year and it is well overdue.

Keep checking in to my social media as I'll be posting videos and pictures of this fantastic cruise.

Bringing in 40!!!!!
