Have carolers and even a visit from Santa….and you can go shopping in the Christmas market and drink mulled hot spice wine…. or you can stick to hot cocoa…. would you believe some people even buy their coats and hats there.  I can’t imagine going to a cold place without a coat…but to each his own.  

Oma's Butter Cookies...

 2 1/2 cups sifted Flour.   1/8 tsp salt   1/2 lb. butter    2/3 cup sugar    1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla    

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees

 Directions
Cream butter and add the sugar and egg mixing it thoroughly.  Now add the vanilla.  Then add the flour and salt.  I like to mix the salt when I sift the flour.  You should have a nice ball of dough if you mixed it correctly.  Now you get to roll out the dough onto a flat service with   a little flour sprinkled.  The dough ball is a little sticky. If you like you can put it in the fridge for a little while.  Roll with a rolling pin so the dough is about 1/4 inch thick.  Now, once rolled out you can start with your cookie cutters and place them on a cookie sheet.  Bake about 10 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are lightly brown.   

Feel free to decorate with color sprinkles.   They melt in your mouth…

Windstar has smaller ships so you can get to some of the islands that larger ships can’t.  Each of the Windstar Cruise yachts accommodates between 148 to 342 guests. This intimacy provides you with the luxuries of time, space, and freedom to immerse yourself in both the journey and the destination - in ways you may never have imagined possible.

A ship that is coming out is the Explora II from Explora Journey in February 2024.  This ship has everything in mind…starting from your cabins to you dining experiences…for instance… Worldly, sophisticated and well-travelled with a European panache.  Bringing together culinary and beverage experiences. Beautifully designed for a truly fabulous dining experience. 

Scenic…They call themselves the World First Discovery Yachts. So, what does that mean…so think of it this way.   Where 6-star luxury meets discovery.  Traveling opens up the world to us and why not do it in comfort and style.  The Ships are designed to give you the ultimate experience.

CLEAR
These are separate check points that allow you to get through airport security quicker because you have applied and have been prescreened. Clear is in about 224 airports.

What happening is that there have been a couple of security breaches…so TSA and Clear are looking into updating systems and procedures. This won’t happen overnight, but they are looking at possibly having to show physical ID as these kiosks.

 You do have to pay for this service, and you will be screened.  Its cost approximately $189.00 a year.
