For many people, taking a vacation aboard a cruise ship is the ultimate luxury experience.

For regular travelers the use of budget car rentals is more of a necessity than a luxury; this can save you the hassle of costly taxi rides and time wasted waiting for them to collect you. However, the rental car market can be fiercely competitive so be careful you are not given a car with an engine that would be better fitted to a bike.

The Island Tours leaves from Trujillo, on the coast of Honduras on Sunday afternoon. Sometimes the ferry leaves at 1:00pm and then sometimes at 3:00pm. It depends on the mood of the Captain. The lady selling coconut bread comes on board to sell her wares before the ship leaves port so you do not go away hungry! This is Honduras, folks and you just never know what will happen next!

Going out on your own surrounded by the vast open sea can really give you plenty of time to contemplate everything in you life. Sometimes you need to get away in order to think things through and decide what you are going to do and where you are heading in life. When you are surrounded by others it can sometimes be difficult to think straight and so going on a boat vacation could really help you to get the space that you need.

We are now officially traveling as a family band of four: two parents on guitar and backup, a toddler on lead vocals, and an infant on drums (3 mos. old). After a little trial and error, we’ve discovered a few things about flying with our children that may make it a little easier on our next excursions. We’ve traveled a fair amount with our firstborn (our toddler and lead singer), but vagabonding with two is a whole different ball of wax.
