Where to begin? Maybe the best way is a day-by-day account of my recent two week trip to the UK and cruise aboard the Princess Cruise Line’s Regal Princess. Tuesday August 8, 2023 We had an evening flight to London from New York on Virgin Atlantic Airlines. Had Premium economy seats and they were very…
Here I am, August 2023 and I’m getting ready for a big 15-night United Kingdom-Ireland-France cruise. This will be the biggest trip (vacation) I have taken in the past number of years. And it is truly a vacation. I am being selfish. I am not escorting a big group as I usually do when escorting…
How about 32 days? A 32-day cruise that is. And believe it or not, it is a new, unique “Bus to the Boat” cruise. Let’s go round trip from Los Angeles to the South Pacific. This 32-night cruise will visit, Hawaii, cross the International Date Line, visit the Samoan Islands, and end up with ports…
It is hard to believe that the VEGAS VOYAGERS TRAVEL CLUB is almost 20 years old. I could never have imagined that with the “birth” of the “Las Vegas Senior News”, now known as the VEGAS VOICE, and the creation of our Travel Club, we would still be going strong 19 plus years later. In…

Summertime! For us here at Vegas Voyagers and our travel agency Fairview Cruise and Travel, it’s the busiest time of year. When school is out and teachers aren’t teaching, that’s when the most people travel. Now I know this concept doesn’t apply to “retirement” community. You can travel just about any time you want. For…
I have often been asked where is a good place for “seniors” to visit? What is a good travel destination? My answer always is, there is no one, or two good travel destinations for seniors. As far as I’m concerned, travel is an individual preference. Some people like visiting Europe. Some like cruises to the…
I have travelled all over the world. At last count I’ve been to just about every state with the exception of some of the “deep” south states. I have been all over Europe including Luxemburg and Iceland. And in 2020 I hope to finally get to Australia and New Zealand. However, my most favorite travel…
LIFE IS WHAT HAPPENS WHILE YOU’RE MAKING PLANS. I may have expressed this sentiment in a previous column, but not recently. What I know is I am always making plans. Mostly plans to travel. It’s what I like to do. To go and see places I’ve never been before. Or, to go back to a…
