If you're lucky enough to be planning a vacation on Maui this summer, how will you decide where to stay? Close to restaurants, close to shops, or right on the beach?

The southernmost of the three Kam beaches (as the locals call them) is right across the street from the Kamaole Sands condominium complex—a perfect...more

Is there anything more luxurious than taking a cruise holiday? Travelling to exotic locations on a luxury ship, catching some sun and breathing in the sea breezes, can renew and revitalise anyone, no matter how weary you are from working.Cruise travel is much more than just a way to get from one location to the next. It used to be that the only reason to get on board a ship, was to get from one destination to another. Today they are much more than just a means of transport. They offer much more than that.In fact, today, the cruises that are available are designed just for you and others like you. With so many ships and destinations to choose from, you may actually have more difficulty choosing just one rather than finding any that fit your needs.I have been on the Superstar Gemini. It was one of the best holidays that I have had. Once on the ship, you unpack and that is it until you return. You travel from country to country, with no worries about passports etc. It is very relaxing.The ships have a multitude of activities to suit everyone but you don't have to do anything if that is what you want. While on the Gemini, I met people that had been on the ship 10 times before. They...more

If you are cruising anywhere outside the United States, the most important document you need to have with you is your passport. For many years, US citizens did not need a passport to visit the Caribbean, Mexico, and Canada. Passports are fairly easy to obtain, either in person or by mail, at a local passport office or post office. If you are only visiting the US Virgin Islands or Puerto Rico, you do not need a passport. Other important documents to store safely are your tickets. This is to ensure that you make it to your destination without any problems. Make sure that your passport is valid for the duration of your cruise and does not expire while you are on vacation. If you do not have a passport or need to renew it, you should apply for it at least a few months ahead of time - not surprisingly, July and August tend to be the busiest months for passport applications. It normally takes up to several weeks to receive your passport if you apply by mail. If you need it sooner, it is worth the extra cost for expedited service. The name on your passport should match the name on your cruise booking, as well as any airline tickets. Use your full name, rather than any nickname. Cruise...more
