Publisher's Summary:

All the information you could ever want on a ship is available online, or in the cruise line's brochures ... stats, weights, where the ship was built, all those dry facts and figures. When we began dreaming about taking on the Mediterranean, my mind leaped right past all that. What I really wanted to know was how real people actually did the cruise planning. I wanted to know where did they go, and what did they do, and what did they like, what did they wish that they had done differently? What did they learn along the way, what did they enjoy the most, and what do they wish they had not wasted time on? What I really wanted was to have a conversation with a whole bunch of people. That's it, I wanted a think tank of other cruisers, and I couldn't find one. I studied tour books and cruise books and multiple websites, I read hundreds of reviews, I learned about each city, and each port. And this book is the result, right in your hand! Come along with the Cruise Addict and his wife on their first-ever journey to Europe! Written day by day, it's just like being there. Part tour guide, part story, this book is laced with insights to help you make the most of your own Mediterranean cruise. Ten ports, all through the eyes of a traveler like yourself...only wiser. Just dreaming? You'll enjoy the humorous stories as the Cruise Addict takes on The Continent. Learn what to see, what to skip, how to see more than anyone else while saving money. Most important, learn how to personalize your cruise for a once-in-a-lifetime trip.

Members Reviews:

This author is the most narcissistic ever.

If you want to learn about an up coming cruise. Forget about it! All this author wants to talk about is how she gets the VIP treatment. And how special her planning is no instruction on how you could plan your own!

A 3 part planning adventure

I received this book for free in return for my review. However, that being said, this is a fun romp through the Mediterranean on a cruise ship. It's important to realize that this book is written in 3 parts: before planning, on the boat, and additional tips you should know. It is helpful regardless of whether you are a newbie cruiser or a seasoned cruiser. It is very descriptive of the process and blunt in it's honesty about what worked and what didn't. A very enjoyable listen.

Publisher's Summary:

The Russian village of Sosnovka, in the Sakha Republic, is not the sort of place that a person travels to on a whim. The republic is part of Russias Far Eastern Federal District, which, at 2,382,000 square miles, is nearly the size of India. Across that gigantic area live about 6.3 million people, fewer than in the city of Changsha, China. Though the highway that leads to Sosnovka from Yakutsk, the provincial capital, is being upgraded, not long ago that stretch of more than 300 miles was a dirt road that might take an entire day to traverse.

Publisher's Summary:

The first time you saw the strange metallic three-pronged gadget, it was likely spinning nonchalantly between the fingers of a coworker or a random guy on the subway or your 10-year-old niece. The early adopter may have informed you that fidget spinners, in addition to their shiny and spinny appeal, reduce stress and help you focus. That reputation has caused spinners to sell out at drugstores, toy stores, and 7-Elevens across the country and top Amazons toy bestsellers list for weeks.

January, 1865. The peace on a regular English train journey from Carnforth to Liverpool is shattered by one mans deranged laughter and erratic antics.

At the next train stop in Lancaster, the man suddenly becomes calm and serenity is returned. But as the train begins to roll again, his aggression returns. The motion of the train becomes the only means to gauge the mans behavior. His mood changes from one stop to the next, twisting and turning with the carriage.

Publisher's Summary:

A hungry visitor strolling through the narrow streets of 19th-century Naples would have encountered a wealth of food optionssome more tempting than others. Vendors hawked meats and cakes, women cooked up soups and omelets, and goats patiently awaited milking. Among those vying for attention would have been the pasta-sellers tending to cauldrons brimming with long strands of spaghetti writhing in boiling water. The spaghetti would have been fished out of its scalding bath and handed over to hungry men and women who then would have deftly lowered fistful of the noodles into their mouths in one gulp. These were the macaroni-eaters of Naples.
