Have you ever been – by the beach, looking out to the sea, and wonder where that seemingly endless water could take you? Have you thought beyond the shifting sands of the beach to places unknown – places you had gone to in your mind?
Well, I have – for far too many times than you can count on my fingers and toes.
Wherever you may find yourself – walking on the pier, sitting on the smooth sands of a beach, looking out from a restaurant’s seaside seat or a ship’s railing – just watching the waves created by the water’s movement somehow has a very calming effect.
Yes, there are so many choices in terms of where to go, what to do and how to spend your time at your pace and within your budget. So consider this – IF you want a cost-effective, time-productive and the most relaxing way to enjoy your vacation, taking a cruise vacation may fit the bill.
Why a cruise? Allow me to just list down a few of the many reasons: (1) the variety of itinerary, i.e. your choice of domestic or international destination; (2) the all-inclusive cruise fare, i.e. the cost of the trip; (3) the ease of travel, i.e. no need to pack & unpack at each location; and, (4) the luxury of knowing where you are sleeping each night.
There are always choices as far as cruising is concerned. Cannot really take that vacation right now? Book that harbor cruise for the night and enjoy the starlit night or the lulling motion of the ship. Of course, there are those 1-5 day cruises that are closer to home; or, take a one-week leisurely cruise somewhere you’ve never been. Why not take the whole 2 weeks vacation and splurge it on an exotic location!
With the summer season already in full swing, you still have time to go on that long-awaited vacation. Take time to pamper yourself – the ‘idle mind’ usually cooks up the best ideas!
Happy sailing!
