The New Passport Card (cheaper alternative to Passport) Has Arrived

The U.S. Department of State has begun production of the new U.S. Passport Card, a convenient, wallet-sized document to be used for re-entry into the U.S. at land border crossings and sea ports of entry when arriving from Mexico, Canada, the Caribbean and Bermuda. As part of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI), travelers will be required to present a single document denoting both citizenship and identity when entering the United States through land or sea borders. This requirement will go into effect June 1, 2009. The U.S. Passport Card cannot be used for international air travel. For more information, visit www.travel.state.gov or contact us for personal assistance in completing your application.

Carnival Sensation to Undergo Next Phase of ‘Evolutions of Fun’

In January 2009, the 2,052-passenger Carnival Sensation will undergo a multi-million-dollar refurbishment that will include the installation of a water park, an adults-only retreat and tropical-themed mid-ship pool area, as well as renovations to 1,000 staterooms, all part of the line’s “Evolutions of Fun” product enhancement initiative for the line’s eight Fantasy-class vessels. Carnival Sensation will be the fourth ship to be retrofitted with these features, with Carnival Imagination and Carnival Inspiration already completed and Carnival Fantasy to be refurbished this fall. Pictured below is the Adult's only retreat, called Serenity.

Southwest extends their booking window

Who would have ever thought that airlines would one day charge you for the very first piece of luggage you take? Not Southwest. For your next flight or your next cruise, let us check to see if Southwest Airlines is an option for you.

Afraid there will be nothing to do on a cruise ship?

I have been fortunate to spend a few days in Miami to get a better understanding of what Carnival does to make their cruises special. It has been an awesome event. We will be visiting five ships. Today we visited Carnival's Imagination. The Imagination and Inspiration are two of Carnival's ships that have undergone a $40 million renovation. This ships are exciting! The enhancements include the wonderful Waterworks area for the kids (and adults like me!). Some of the longest slides at sea will keep the kids at heart entertained for the entire cruise. They have also installed misting and water play areas for younger kids and adults who want to stay cool.


For the adults, the Serenity area is an adults only area of the deck to relax. This is the place to enjoy quietness as you relax and watch the waves of the ship. Carnival provides a million ways to have fun on their ships from the new Waterworks and Camp Carnival for the kids to the Serenity area and Cloud 9 spa for the adults, have you checked out Carnival lately?
