      Family Vacation Deals & The Magic Dates! – Travel Like an Architect™

      God I love this Guy! Another summer is winding down… Did you get away with your family like you planned? Maybe a camping trip – or weekend at the Dells? I used to think that only wealthy families got to go on real vacations. I knew lots of families that went to Florida, or to a lake house, or a campground. I guess that was the thing to do – like you know you made it when. And then I met Rob who introduced me to cruising. Their First Cruise! Cruising can be a great vacation de

      Travel Like an Architect™ was selected to Cruise to Cuba!

      Cuba closed it’s borders around the time Rob and Lynn were born – 1962. Lynn’s parents went to Cuba on their Honeymoon in 1957 when it was considered “the Vegas of the Caribbean” and travel to there was cheap and easy!  According to recent pictures – it still looks the same…………  Of course they have been keeping their automobiles in good shape because we make most of the mainstream autos and they couldn’t get any new ones from us!  Excepting the autos – it totally reminds us o

      Travel Like an Architect™: Embrace new experiences

      September to November, during hurricane season. Embrace new experiences, and you can have a great time while saving money. For our honeymoon cruise, in 1996, we embraced hurricane Lili. Read the back story on our blog: book-a-cruise.info/cruising-in-hurricane-season/. Standard cruise line strategy is to avoid storms, even small ones, as nobody likes bad weather on their vacation. Cruise ships can outrun storms, as they move about 8-10 knots, while ships cruise at 22-25 knots.

      Travel Like an Architect™ because it’s a Romantic Getaway!

      Romantic Formal Evening out! Over the weekend we did a local bridal show at Pearl Bistro. I never realized until we did all the set up preparation what a perfect honeymoon a cruise makes. I should have because we did a cruise for our honeymoon many years ago, a perfect romantic getaway. I still have a picture on my desk – me with my hair braided – I had it done on a secluded beach in St. Thomas. Even then we went with our blueprint,  a plan for what we wanted to do and where
