When you fly you can see all kind of different paint liveries for the different airlines. Donna and I have flown on a few special painted planes before like a plane painted like the State of Maryland’s flag, Shamu, the Triple Crown plane and others. If you watch closely at the airport you might be able to catch one of those special planes. Here is an interesting article about some of the unique planes that are out there in the world: https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/best-aircraft-livery-design/index.html    

Donna and I have been on quite a few cruise ships overtime. Some are huge ships like the Carnival Vista and the Norwegian Breakaway. Others have been fairly small such as the Norwegian Spirit and the Carnival Fascination. The huge ships do offer more activities such as screens on deck by the pool, I-Max theaters, sky ride bikes, and many other things but small ships can be great too by giving you the chance to meet new people easier and they are less crowded. This is an interesting article on the largest ships in the world: https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/worlds-biggest-cruise-ships/index.html  

A really interesting article on some of the most extreme airports in the world. From the Northern most airport to southern most airport there are many out there that the average traveler doesn’t encounter. I have been to some of the busiest airports in the world but I have not been to many that are exotic just yet.   https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/most-extreme-airports-world/index.html  

Viking cruises is now offering an around the world 245 day cruise. That would be a dream trip to me but the price tag of $90,000+ is a little too steep for me. We can all dream though right? http://www.foxnews.com/travel/2018/05/04/viking-cruises-announces-245-day-long-ultimate-world-cruise.html    

An interesting article about a country you do not usually hear a lot about when talking travel to Europe. When traveling to Europe you will find many of the smaller countries have just as much appeal as the well known nations. Donna and I traveled to Bratislava, Slovakia and it was a very nice place to tour (its not anything like the movie Hostel portrays). I would like to see Serbia one day. https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/serbia-best-places-to-visit/index.html  

A really interesting article about other Mayan cities you can visit in Mexico other than the most famous city of Chichen Itza.   https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/chichen-itza-mayan-ruins-mexico/index.html  

I thought this was a pretty interesting article about the most scenic airport approaches. I love looking at the world from a different perspective and seeing the sights and geography from the air. https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/scenic-airport-landings-2018/index.html

On this page I am going to post about travel news and some of the hot places to travel to!
