    Passport expires within 3 months

    We were on the Magic at the end of April (and were at Castaway Cay). My son's passport was due to expire on June 15th and we had no issues; it was not even mentioned. We are Canadian as well.

    Rome in Limo

    We used Rome in Limo for Rome for our Med cruise in July, and had a wonderful day. Our guide, Gabriele, was knowledgeable and friendly, and had great interaction with our two kids. In hindsight, the only thing I would have done differently would have been to skip the Vatican. It was really...

    Divorced daughter traveling with granddaughter on Western Caribbean Fantasy

    I have been asked on several occasions by US Immigration for the letter granting permission for me to take my daughter out of Canada into the US. We travel quite a bit, and I always carry a notarized letter from my ex, just in case. I would say that 80% of the time, no one asks, but make sure...

    Barcelona hotel, ground transport recommendations for May, 2014?

    We used Autosvilar as well for all of our transfers, and they were fantastic. They were on-time and friendly and their vans had lots of room for 4 of us, plus our luggage. I also loved that when we got off the plane in Barcelona after a long flight, we walked out and there they were. The last...

    Changes to ID requirements for alcohol purchases at Walt Disney World

    I've been asked for my ID a few times at Disney (usually when buying a bottle of wine at the gift shops), and the first time I went to Disney I was 38. The last time was last year, when I was 42. I was buying wine at the AKL gift shop after dinner. My 16-year-old was with me, and she laughed...

    7/13/13 ~~ Eastern Mediterranean Mouseketeers!

    I've confirmed a small tour for my family for Turkey, so am about to cancel the DCL tour that I booked. This was for the Ephesus/Waterpark excursion, for 4 people. I remember seeing on here that someone had tried for it (I don't remember who), but it was sold out. 4 spots are about to open up...

    If we were just adults, I would totally do it too...sounds very cool. I'll jump on Trip Advisor tonight and read some reviews. Thanks!

    7/13/13 ~~ Eastern Mediterranean Mouseketeers!

    I think it your plan sounds fantastic...we will probably do something fairly similar, except I don't know about walking the whole trail from Monterosso to Vernazza. How old are your kids? I don't know if my 6-year-old would be up for it. We'll probably play it by ear, again...maybe we'll...

    7/13/13 ~~ Eastern Mediterranean Mouseketeers!

    I agree too, about playing it by ear...we are planning for a laid back day for Cinque Terre, just exploring, eating, and of course, drinking wine. While it would be nice to see all 5 villages, I would rather see 2 or 3 at a leisurely pace than rush through 5. I need to do some homework to...

    :thumbsup2 Great idea!! Looks like the ferry does run from LaSpezia, and it goes at 9:15 (schedule as far June 30th). http://cms.cnpstudio.it/USER_CONTENT/49/pdf/tratte_pdf_eng_7.pdf?cache=887767,970561981 Oops...should have included the link to the website too...

    That puts a crimp in our plans as well! I thought I'd read that the trains were pretty frequent. There is a boat that goes out as well...maybe the times for that will work better, then the train back. Have to check it out tonight.

    We have booked a private company for all of our transfers. It is going to be $200 for all 4 transfers. I got the name from one of threads on here, with someone who had recommended them on the first cruise. The email address is info@autosvilar.com I am also interested in the tipping...

    7/13/13 ~~ Eastern Mediterranean Mouseketeers!

    We are planning on heading out to the end and working our way back. We also plan to spend a little bit of time at the beach, but not too much. I don't plan to rush through the towns...if we start running out of time, we will just skip one or two and take the train directly back.

    No civil wars, no strikes, no volcanoes...I am thinking positively, and all will be fine. ;-) Yes, thank you for the navigators. Although, am I the only one who can't read them, haha? Maybe time for some reading glasses. I tried to Zoom, but it didn't help much.

    I hope St. John works out for you guys! On another note, for anyone planning a DIY in Villefranche, like we are. We have friends from that area, and have been in touch with them about our visit. Their advice: avoid Nice that day, because of the holiday...apparently it will be crazy busy and...

    That sounds great! We will probably do that one.

    We are planning to do the beach at Mykonos as well. I figure we will do that in the morning for a few hours, then when it gets too hot we will leave and go explore the town a little bit before heading back to the ship. Hopefully we'll be able to rent a couple of the chairs with the umbrellas...
