As our boat first pulled up to Venice, I couldn’t help but exclaim “it’s just like World Showcase,” while our visit to the real Akershus castle was made all the more special by having seen Norway in Epcot first. More ...

Gear to Travel Far and Near:
 Keep your ID, cards, and cash handy and secure with a PassPorter PassHolder Pouch, a lightweight, six-compartment pouch with an attached neck cord.
'I admit I wasn't all that sure I would really 'needed' the PassHolder Pouch. Even my husband was hesitant to use it, but after the first day on our trip, we couldn't imagine our entire vacation without them! Our Key Cards, receipts, and money were kept save and with us at all time. Even with the rain, it kept everything dry. A must!' -- SandiF from San Jose, CA

"When traveling with a minor not yours (such as a grandchild in my case) I have found that having a medical power of attorney for a minor child, along with a copy of the parent's insurance card can be very handy in case of emergency or illness. " Tip by Shirley
