Having just returned from another trip, I find that there's been a few businesses that I keep on recommending because we've had good success with them.
For cruising (particularly Alaska), the premier small (under 300ft) ship line is Crusie West. Their website is http://www.cruisewest.com
For travels to Europe - the "Back Door" guide is Rick Steves. Rick has a TV show on Public Television, a radio & newspaper column, and a website, http://www.ricksteves.com
And while Rick is mostly just encouraging you to buy his travel guidebooks - - you can find them online at Amazon, Borders, Barns&Noble and probably elsewhere (try your local public library too) - - overall, I find him enjoyable and humorous and most importantly, his books are quite worthwhile. Since Rick updates the books annually, we've bought multiple copies of some of the ones where we've travelled back to.

- What will it take to be a considered a civilized being in the 21st Century? What used to be called a 'Renaissance Man'? . . . . Is it knowledge? If so, there's sheepskins from High School to College to Graduate . . . . Is it travel? If so, as of 2008, 23 Countries and 46 States visited at least once . . . . Is it creativity? If so, there's a ton of photographs at home (probably over 30,000 now), varying from Weddings to Landscapes to Nature to Underwater (and someday, they might all actually get organized) . . . . Is it not being a newbie on the Internet? If so, been around since ARPANet . . . . Or is it all - - yet none - - of these things? Maybe there is no one 'true' answer. Perhaps it is simply the interest in exploring virtually anything and everything. Thus, these "ramblings". No topic, yet every topic. Perhaps something will pique your interest; if its here, it has mine...
