The Haunting Image of the Costa Concordia
The image of the Costa Concordia on its side is one that cruisers and non-cruises alike will not forget. This weekend, I heard so many times, did you see the ship?
Normally, whenever I see a cruise ship floating by I love to picture cruisers enjoying dinner in total relaxation and their probable excitement about the next port of call. The image of the Costa Concordia, looking distressed and unresponsive just makes me think of all the guests who were enjoying dinner on the ship and in a few minutes their vacation took a very different path.
Cruise Excursion: Salmon Bake in Juneau, Alaska

I’ve said it before, but one of my favorite parts of going on a cruise is trying new foods. I used to be a picky eater! There are many foods that I’ve just started eating in the last few years and can’t imagine life without them.
My mantra is that I’ll always try something 5 times. That’s correct, 5 times. Many foods that I’ve tried have taken me a few tries before I’ve gotten a taste for it. This happened most recently with beets and yogurt.
Welcome 2012!

2011 was an exciting year for me with the launch of my FreshCruiser website, blog, and twitter feed. I worked hard to define my niche with the goals of writing about something I love, cruising! Writing about fun, active and healthy cruising has been wonderful and I love these aspects of the cruise industry. I'm looking forward to the year ahead and hope you'll enjoy reading!
Wishing you a Happy & Healthy New Year filled with visiting new places and experiencing new cultures!
