Travel Addict

After nursing a broken engagement with Jane Austen novels and Absolut, Courtney Stone wakes up and finds herself not in her Los Angeles bedroom, or even in her own body, but inside the bedchamber of a woman in Regency England. Who but an Austen addict like herself could concoct such a fantasy?

She's back! Come along as Cruise Addict's Wife shares even more tips and hints to make you the smartest passenger on any cruise ship. See more, do more, enjoy more, relax more, and save a boatload of money along the way. Learn which cruise line suits your style best, what time of year to book the best cruise, how to choose a cabin (and which ones to avoid at all costs), how to book a private tour that will save time, money, and stress.

All the information you could ever want on a ship is available online, or in the cruise line's brochures ... stats, weights, where the ship was built, all those dry facts and figures. When we began dreaming about taking on the Mediterranean, my mind leaped right past all that. What I really wanted to know was how real people actually did the cruise planning. I wanted to know where did they go, and what did they do, and what did they like, what did they wish that they had done differently?

Maps not only show the world, they help it turn. They are the unsung heroes of life: Map Addict sings their song. There are some fine, dry tomes out there about the history and development of cartography: this is not one of them. Map Addict mixes wry observation with hard fact and considerable research, unearthing the offbeat, the unusual and the downright pedantic in a celebration of all things maps

This book is loaded with tips and tricks to plan the best cruise ship vacation ever! It's laced with personal stories that will have you grinning. It's all you need to know to plan a once-in-a-lifetime cruise vacation, even if you're still in the just-dreaming-about-it stage.
