Is Las Vegas a good destination to take your kids? We were to find out the answer to that question on our trip to Nevada during the boys’ Fall break. In this report I’ll discuss the family activities and shows we attended, our hotel, and other features of our vacation. By Tim Larison

As a lifelong baseball fan I like to take in a major league game when traveling. We have been to major league games in Seattle, Chicago, Kansas City, and St Louis in the past, in addition to many outings to watch our hometown Colorado Rockies. But this July we had a new experience – attending a “rookie league” baseball game in Casper, Wyoming.

Before I was a travel agent, I worked 22 years in the telecommunications industry as a software engineer. In my previous career I often came across co-workers who would never take a vacation. One person I knew got this feedback on his year end performance review: “You’ve got to start taking time off. You have two months of vacation saved up!”
I had the opportunity to travel to Hawaii on a Travel Agent Familiarization Tour, otherwise known as a Fam. Tim and I had been to Oahu and the big island before and now I had the opportunity to visit Kauai and Maui. I’d like to share with you the highlights of my trip to these two amazing islands.

This spring we had an old fashioned travel experience – we took a train trip from Denver to Glenwood Springs, Colorado! After years of family travel on planes, cruise ships, cars, and buses, the Larison family had different reactions to train travel.
Anne and I loved the relaxed nature of the trip. On our 7 hour ride we were treated to beautiful views as we weaved through the Rocky Mountains on rail. Particularly impressive was the scenery of Glenwood Canyon and of the Colorado River.

The Larison family has taken many exciting vacations to far away destinations (Caribbean cruises, Europe, Mexico, Hawaii, etc) but often a trip close to home can be just as fun. We found this to be true last week during Andrew and Josh’s spring break. We took a trip to Glenwood Springs, Colorado – home of “the World’s Largest Hot Springs Pool”
We did, however, have one instance in which our bag was damaged; fortunately the bag was still usable.

We have been on a number of Caribbean cruises (Eastern and Western itineraries), but none were quite like our December 7 night Southern Caribbean cruise on the Crown Princess. We found this cruise to be different than our other Caribbean cruises in these ways:
Many shore excursions involve a public beach next to a resort. In our experience there are not usually public beach chairs. The resorts charge a nominal fee to use their beach chairs, so remember to figure this into your budget if you would like to use a beach chair during your stay on the beach. Also, be sure to bring your own beach towel.
On Wednesday Disney Cruise Line released prices and dates for their 2008 Panama Canal and Mexican Riviera cruises. With thousands of people wanting reservations on these cruises, Disney’s call center was sure to be overwhelmed when they opened that morning.
