If you ever wanted to embed a Google map into a post, it’s easy. Go to google maps and search for your category. The example below is Vail hotels. Copy the embed code in HTML and the map appears. It’s interactive just like Google Maps. It gives red balloons for hotel locations. The other balloons are points of interest. Click on them and you get more in depth information.Try it. I’m adding these to some of my travel sites. Google may allow adsense into maps soon.

* A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn’t. A man marries a woman expecting that she won’t change and she does.

InspirationCharles Plum, a U.S. Naval Academy graduate, was a jet fighter pilot in Vietnam. After 75 combat missions, his plane was destroyed by a surface-to-air missile. Plumb ejected & parachuted into enemy hands. He was captured & spent six years in a Communist prison. He survived that ordeal & now lectures about lessons learned from that experience. One day, when Plumb & his wife were sitting in a restaurant, a man at another table came up & said, “You’re Plumb! You flew jet fighters in Vietnam from the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk. You were shot down!” “How in the world did you know that?” asked Plumb. “I packed your parachute,” the man replied. Plumb gasped in surprise & gratitude. The man pumped his hand & said, “I guess it worked!” Plumb assured him, “It sure did-if your ‘chute hadn’t worked, I wouldn’t be here today.” Plumb couldn’t sleep that night, thinking about that man. Plumb says, ‘I kept wondering what he might have looked like in a Navy uniform-a Dixie cup hat, a bib in the back, and bell bottom trousers. I wondered how many times I might have passed him on the Kitty Hawk. I wondered how many times I might have seen him & not even said good morning, how are you or anything because, you see, I was a fighter pilot & he was just a sailor. Plumb thought of the many hours the sailor had spent on a long wooden table in the bowels of the ship carefully weaving the shrouds & folding the silks of each chute, holding in his hands each time the fate of someone he didn’t know. Now, Plumb asks his audience, ‘Who’s packing your parachute?’ Everyone has someone who provides what they need to make it through the day. Plumb also points out that he needed many kinds of parachutes when his plane was shot down over enemy territory-he needed his physical parachute, his mental parachute, his emotional parachute, & his spiritual parachute.” He called on all these supports before reaching safety. His experience reminds us all to prepare ourselves to weather whatever storms lie ahead..

While researching a new travel blog, I stumbled across the Cruise Vacation Center. Maybe it was the beautiful video girl that welcomed me to the sight, but I decided to explore it a little. I like the layout. The navigation was easy and intuitive.

Their niche is cruise specials. They include all of the major cruise lines including Carnival Cruise Lines, Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines ,Princess Cruise Lines, and Cunard Cruise Lines. They also have a good section for cruises from New York, Alaska cruises, and Mediterranean Cruises.

They have many search options. It is possible to search by date or destination or cruise line. I always like a site that has articles or more information. They have an expansive article section that answers most of your questions about cruises. Some article samples include Cruising on a Budget and The Garden Isle - Hawaii’s Island of Kauai.

I also like a free report. If you sign up for their newsletter then you will receive a free copy of Top 10 Tips for Fabulous Cruises. 

After you have done your research, it is time to book the cruise. They can handle all the details for you. It does not stop there. Also include are other services. It is possible to preregister from their site. Reservations for dinner and dining with friends can also be done through them.

Check it out for yourself. Don’t forget to look at the beautiful ladies on the individual cruise line pages.
