    Thank you for including me in your list Sally-Ann, it’s really nice to be noticed. I like your other choices as well and will now go and check out your previous selections.

  • Lyn - A Hole in my Shoe

    Thank you Sally, we are happy to be included in one of your favourite posts for the month. We are often asked about what happens when you board a cruise ship and was a fun post to write. I loved all the other posts too, especially Dean’s Road Trip food (we were actually travelling similar places, eating similar foods at the same time) and also Vicki’s top 15 bloggers who didn’t quit their job to travel, as we were one of the bloggers featured. I love reading your picks each month.

      I so wan to go on a cruise just have to convince Mr Toddlers AKA Steve posts like yours are helping my argument 🙂

    Hi Sally – A great round up of your favourite posts from April. I must admit, I’ve been very slack with my blogging (and reading) for the past 4-5 weeks, so I can’t tell you my favourite post from the past month. I’ll try to do better next month! 😉

  • Rhonda Albo

    Glad you enjoyed my article on Cartagena. It was a fascinating city. Thanks for including it. I hope you get to see it one day for rea 🙂

    once again a great round-up. So many people have their minds made up about cruises — somewhat unfairly — the top post is especially helpful I think. Cheer!

        It’s not our favorite way to travel. But the day we spent 2 hours on the no-kids deck, sitting in a hot tub with cold beers, chit-chatting with other adults — while DD was off at the kids club — we saw the advantage at our stage of life!
