Charming San Jose del Cabo
The first port we visited on our seven-day Mexico cruise aboard Princess Cruises' brand-new Discovery Princess was Cabo San Lucas, on the very southern tip of the Baja Peninsula. After a full day at sea, we approached the city mid-morning, sailing just off the coast and within view of miles of resorts stacked along the shore, backed by a rugged desert landscape. We neared the famous El Arco, the arch carved by the elements and the sea where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific Ocean, sailing much closer to the rocky formations than I had imagined we would. With our stateroom on the port side of the ship, we had a perfect view of the arch, the beaches surrounding it and the many small boats buzzing around its waters.

The World on My Christmas Tree
We've entered the busy Christmas travel period, with record numbers of people predicted to travel by car and air this year. I am thankful to say that we'll be staying home, with family coming to us. I'd rather decorate the house and bake than face the roads and airports with the mass of humanity that will be traveling this year, but I understand the need and/or allure of an exotic holiday getaway or a family gathering.
River Cruising in the United States
Usually when I think of river cruises, what first comes to mind is an expedition in Europe or Asia through exotic, less-touristy destinations. This may be the case for you, too, but I am here to say if the idea of a river cruise sounds intriguing, you do not always have to look at taking one on another continent — or in another country, for that matter.
