Travel Photography, Commentaries and reviews on various destinations, tours, cruises and so on. Maybe a little 'how to' for solo travel. Especially love the Islands of the Caribbean.
I have been taking photos since about twelve years old. Though my education veered into what I 'should' take instead of what I wanted...eventually passion won out. From the day I realized you could capture a moment in time on film and save to enjoy 'forever', I have been captivated by photography. Although I marvel at what you can do in the digital darkroom, I prefer to leave the majority of my images as natural as possible, or lightly enhanced with 'brush strokes. I rely on composition, lighting, focusing in on the details to convey the mood or story I saw as the photographer.

St John, US Virgin Islands. Cruz, Honeymoon and Caneel Bays before Irma. #cruiseport #carribean
Переглядів 5421 день тому
Images from my first cruise in 2007. Docked at St Thomas, took ferry to Cruz Bay and did a hike in the Virgin Islands National Park. Honeymoon Bay is so named because it is where Bogie and Bacall spent theirs. We were looking across at Caneel Bay Resort and later took photos of the Sugar Mill ruins there. Now sadly it's all ruins. Going back to St Thomas soon, so will do more photos and videos ...

Well it only took me until my mid-50s, but I finally got to do it. What I liked about this facility in Grand Cayman is that many were rescues, and they were all in outdoor, natural enclosures just gated off from the main ocean for their protection. Yes, they were trained, and some might think exploited, but honest to goodness. They appeared to be enjoying themselves. And there were a number of ...

Digging in the archives now, trying to salvage what's left after losing 10 years' worth of work when my storage hard drive burned up! I do have more videos of a couple of these places. Check out the Islands and Ports playlist. #cruiseport #solocruise #halcruises #puertorico #caribbean #grandturk
Port Santo Tomas de Castillo, Guatemala. Includes scenes from Amatique Bay. #guatemala #cruiseport
Переглядів 384 місяці тому
One of my least favorite ports ever! Especially since when I first looked at the itinerary it was supposed to go to Belize! All we got to see on this trip were some of the islands as we left the port at St Tomas. I am sure there are parts of Guatemala that are beautiful but surely did not get to see that on this trip. Port is awful. Very industrial, filled with commercial ships and surrounded b...
Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Honduras. Highlights from Carambola Gardens, Maya Eden, and West End. #tours
Переглядів 354 місяці тому
From Holland America Cruise on old Rotterdam, 2019. Excellent Port at Mahogany Bay. Didn't get too many photos from Carambola because of rain, but would probably recommend if I could have seen more. Maya Eden was well hosted; colorful butterfly house, and then they let you hold some of the animals. Parrots come and go so you may or may not see them all. As I was trying to get a photo of the Tou...

A visit to Shenandoah and nearby areas during the Covid epidemic. Deer look pretty ragged, maybe due to heat, or just too many for the habitat. #naturelovers #naturephotography #wildlife

Does phone service only work to make calls while docked?
I was given a price for the 22 day laundry but why would you be able to just pay only when you need it? As you go !
So I know you can bring two bottles of wine but they will charge you $20 per bottle for corkage fee per bottle! But what if the bottle has a twist of.lid why would they still charge you ?
Stay safe....🤍✨️
Thank you, we got off easy in this area.
Thank you, I enjoyed that and appreciate your comment
That's a really good one
How's the entertainment on Holland?
I guess it depends on what you like but I find it almost overwhelming with the number of choices any given day. Those ships with the full music walk have the most options. I have had some issues with the main stage programs, but I hear they're working on that.
@@TravelistaShe-nu1gt everyone I have talked to says it's super boring even people in their 70s
I am in my 70s Betty, I think some people are just jaded. But truthfully because I do so much during the day I dont always even go to the evening entertainment I might walk by The Rock and Roll section or BB king's, and I go to a couple of the shows per week. I haven't gone to the outdoor movies by the pool but I think that would be fun too.
I've been on 8 solo cruises on ncl, love it. Looking now at other cruise lines.
I like the longer itineraries that Hollan America offers, without having to fly to a foreign country to catch the ship. And the cost comparisons I've done I think I sometimes come out ahead even paying double on an inside with Holland America, and I like a number of things about them much better; number one being a more midsize ship that doesn't overwhelm the entire port when they dock.
My journey as well is about to begin too!
Good for you it's so much fun to just go do what you want to do and join with other people if and when you feel like it.
I can not wait to take a solo cruise. Traveling with my daughter is all about her
I know there are so many concessions we make no matter who else we travel with. So really nice to just take care of yourself and let somebody wait on us for once.
Going on my second solo cruise, love it
Good deal! I would do even more if money was no object!
Yes that’s how it was traveling with my friend. It was all about her and one time she got mad at me cause I wasn’t feeling good and didn’t want to go swimming and when I asked her to tell out other friend to bring me food back to the hotel. She ignored my request out of spite.
That is very spacious compared to other ships!
I thought it was plenty big enough for just me. Very well designed.
I like it. Was it priced well?
Did you do a tour here? Did you feel safe?
Yes I took a ship sponsored tour with Holland america. And I did feel safe although the vendors were some of the most aggressive and annoying I've yet come across. But I walked around by myself quite a bit and actually I would go back to that area it was so beautiful and just so many different aspects to it all.
I hope you will do more videos
Thank you. I am doing videos or slideshows from every place I visit. Learning to do more actual videos but have such a treasure trove of still photos that I am sharing them in the meantime.
Lol bet
Rent a Car
Maybe in the future a Jeep would be good. But I was on a shore Excursion from my ship I just thought it was kind of funny how it worked out.
Forget the challenge. Take what you want and enjoy.
Yes thank you that was my conclusion!
I would love to do that
You can and you should! So many solo women out there having a blast!
I love all the boats and the little islands they live on and boat to work. the totem trail and eagle rehab are great too
Is that carnival sunshine
It was Holland America's neuw Statendam
@@TravelistaShe-nu1gt is that a carnival cruise bc I'm pretty shure canvial owns half moon cay idk lol
@@Mooshroom-zb4cx my understanding is it's owned by Holland America but since that's a subsidiary of carnival corporation some of their ships use it also.
O ok thanks! : D
