When I was a child I loved to watch the television program "The Love Boat." I never missed an episode and thought it would be magical to grow up and be Julie (the cruise director). She worked with a fun crew, got to know the guests, wore beautiful outfits, and traveled around the world. What could be better? Well fast forward a bit and the more practical side of me went into education. I have worked within the field of education for 28 years and specialize in meeting the needs of students with a disability. I love my career in education and know I am making a difference in the lives of students and the families that support them. While working in education I naturally have summers off so I began cruising each summer at the start of the summer and in late fall almost every year. I have been on over 40 cruises and truly feel it is the best way to travel. Not only do I love going on cruises, but I also love looking for cruises, talking about cruises, and planning cruises. If you're looking for the ultimate way to travel, then you should consider cruises! It is the best way to travel because it allows you to explore multiple destinations in one trip, only unpack once, enjoy delicious cuisine, relax in luxurious accommodations, and experience the world in a unique and exciting way. You can be as active or as inactive as you desire.
