Disney Cruise Line's 2027 itineraries are officially here—and they might be the clearest sign yet that the fleet is entering a new era. The headline move? The Disney Wish is heading to Europe for the first time. After years of short sailings out of Port Canaveral, Disney is finally sending a Wish-class ship across the Atlantic, signaling a more mature fleet, longer itineraries, and a more global strategy. In this episode, we break down what's available to book for 2027 and what it all means. We cover: The Wish moving to Europe and why it matters How the growing fleet is changing deployment strategy Alaska expansion and Caribbean reshuffling Where each ship is sailing in 2027 Which itineraries will go fast (and which might surprise you) What this says about Disney Cruise Line's future With more ships, more regions, and more variety than ever, 2027 isn't just another deployment drop—it's a snapshot of a cruise line that's growing up fast.

Planning your first cruise can feel overwhelming, but travel advisors Ryan and Julie break down the entire process in this comprehensive beginner's guide. In this first episode of their three-part Cruising 101 series, they cover the essential planning steps you need to take before booking your cruise vacation.Starting with choosing your travel dates, Ryan and Julie discuss key factors including celebrations and milestones, work and school schedules, and special themed cruises like Halloween on the High Seas or Marvel Days at Sea. They share important timing considerations, from Wave Season promotions to age-specific requirements that could impact your vacation experience.The hosts then dive into selecting the right ship and itinerary for your needs. For first-time cruisers, they recommend specific cruise lines: Virgin Voyages, Princess, Celebrity, or smaller Royal Caribbean ships for adults, and Disney Cruise Line or Royal Caribbean for families. They explain why mid-size ships often work better than mega-ships for beginners, preventing that overwhelming feeling while still offering plenty of activities.Itinerary selection varies by destination. For Caribbean cruises, they suggest 4-5 night sailings with stops at private islands like CocoCay or Castaway Cay. European and Mediterranean cruises require careful consideration of specific ports, pre- and post-cruise stays, and whether you prefer one-way or roundtrip sailings. Alaska cruises demand attention to port stops like Skagway, Ketchikan, and Juneau, each offering unique excursions from glacier viewing to whale watching.River cruising receives special attention, with recommendations for European rivers like the Rhine and Danube as ideal starting points, before expanding to destinations in the United States, Africa, or South America. The episode concludes with a preview of parts two and three, which will cover preparing for your cruise and the embarkation/onboard experience.Whether you're completely new to cruising or looking to plan your next voyage, this episode provides practical, expert advice to help you make informed decisions and avoid common mistakes.Support the showLove the podcast?

Are you trying to plan a 7 day Oahu itinerary and worried you'll miss key spots or book things in the wrong order?

If you've spent any time researching Ireland trips online, you may have noticed a strange pattern: different companies, different websites… and yet the itineraries feel almost identical. There's a reason for that, and it goes back much further than modern travel trends. Why Ireland itineraries follow the same routes Ireland's most familiar travel routes weren't designed with today's vacation style in mind. They were created as efficient ways to move people through the country using the transportation that already existed. In the early 1900s, Ireland didn't yet have a tourism industry as we know it today. What it did have was rail, and soon after, bus travel. By the 1930s, Córas Iompair Éireann (CIÉ) began offering some of Ireland's first organized touring routes. These weren't built around lingering in places or slow travel. They were logistical solutions. The main questions were practical: How do you move people efficiently? How do you show them the country using existing infrastructure? How do you make it work for the greatest number of travelers? Those early routes worked remarkably well – and that's part of the problem. How early transport shaped today's “must-see” stops Once those touring routes were established, certain places naturally became regular stops. Not always because they were the only places worth seeing, but because they fit neatly along the route. Take the journey between the Cliffs of Moher and Killarney. Adare sits conveniently along that path, making it an easy place to pause. Over time, it became known as one of Ireland's prettiest villages – a reputation reinforced by decades of repeat visits. Dublin and Galway evolved into touring hubs for similar reasons. They were connected by rail as early as the mid-19th century, later by bus, making them logical anchor points for traveling west and then looping back again. Some places were already well known long before organized tours existed: The Cliffs of Moher had been a beauty spot since the 1830s, when Cornelius O'Brien built his tower and hosted social gatherings on the cliffs. Ladies View in Killarney gained fame after Queen Victoria's 1861 visit, when her ladies-in-waiting admired the sweeping view over the lakes. None of these locations became popular by accident. But once they were woven into early touring routes, they stayed there — reused, repeated, and passed down generation after generation. How those routes shaped what Ireland is “known for” As those early itineraries became the template, they influenced far more than bus tours. The places along those routes became the Ireland that was photographed, written about, and shared around the world. Over time, they shifted from being convenient stops to being seen as the definitive Ireland experience. They became: The “must-see” locations The places travelers felt they had to visit to say they'd really been to Ireland That's why, even today, most visitors still follow the same general framework – the same bones that were laid down nearly a century ago. Seeing Ireland differently without missing the magic That doesn't mean the well-known sights aren't worth visiting. They absolutely are. The Cliffs of Moher, Killarney National Park, Galway, and Dublin are popular for good reason. But after years of traveling Ireland and planning trips for others, one thing becomes clear: there are many places across the country where travelers can have very similar experiences without the crowds, the constant packing and unpacking, or the feeling of racing the clock. The best Ireland vacations usually include a mix: Iconic locations that live up to their reputation Lesser-visited places that offer space, depth, and a more relaxed pace Planning an Ireland trip that feels intentional Rather than starting with “Where does everyone go?”, a more satisfying approach begins with how you want to experience Ireland. That's the idea behind the Ireland Travel Compass — a planning system built around a five-step process that helps travelers design trips that are truly their own. Instead of inheriting an old touring route, the focus shifts to: Smaller regions Less driving Deeper experiences More time actually enjoying where you are The Compass includes a detailed planning map with more than 300 points across Ireland, featuring: Castles you can visit — and castles you can stay in Historic sites and heritage experiences Accommodations, dining, and tour recommendations Activities ranging from history and culture to animal encounters Every recommendation is based on firsthand travel experience and years of working directly with families and independent travelers. It's especially helpful for travelers who don't want to see everything in one trip — and understand that Ireland is best explored over multiple visits. If an Ireland vacation that feels thoughtful instead of rushed sounds appealing, the Ireland Travel Compass offers a way to step outside the inherited routes and create something that fits you.

Key Topics Covered Getting Started - The Low-Hanging Fruit: Sign up for FREE hotel loyalty programs (Hilton, Marriott, IHG, Hyatt) Add loyalty numbers to TDY/TAD stays retroactively if needed Military discount: Epic Pass for active duty/spouses ~$200 (normally $1,200) Start with no annual fee cards to build credit and learn the basics Never carry a balance - if you're paying interest, you're doing it wrong Business Spending Strategies: Most common mistake: Using Amex Platinum for everything (only 1x points on most purchases) Capital One Venture X Business: Uncapped 2x points, no preset credit limit Cards earning 3-4x on ad spend (Facebook, Google ads) Use Melio (M-E-L-I-O) to pay vendors who don't accept cards via ACH (2.9% fee) Negotiate early payment discounts (net 15 vs net 30) to offset processing fees Millions in business expenses going uncharged to credit cards The 2.9% Fee Debate: Worth it if redeeming points at 1.5+ cents per point value Effective 25-40% cash back when factoring welcome bonuses + transfer value Business expenses are tax deductible Ross personally pays fees on all expenses knowing he'll redeem at 2-6 cents/point Real-World Example - $19,000 Honeymoon Savings: Cards used: Chase Sapphire Reserve, Capital One Venture, Chase Sapphire Preferred, Chase Ink Business Unlimited Flights: Qatar Q-Suites business class using 200K points (Chase + Capital One) Stayed 11 nights using Hyatt points at Alila properties in Bali Built point stash over 1-1.5 years through group travel booking + daily spend + business welcome bonuses Strategy: Booked award availability 355 days out when British Airways/Qatar released schedules Flexibility: Mixed business and premium economy on return flight Transfer Partners & Redemption: NEVER redeem for Amazon gift cards, statement credits, or low-value portal bookings (0.6-0.7 cents/point) Transfer to airline partners for 2-6+ cents per point value Don't use Amex points for hotels (poor value) Example: 175K Amex points = potential $12,700 business class seats to South Africa Tools: Points.Yeah.com for flight availability and award searching Military-Specific Advantages: Overseas duty stations = less competition for award space (Frankfurt, Tokyo, Seoul) Different inventory than US-based flyers TDY/TAD stays earn hotel points and elite status Annual fee waivers on personal cards (not business cards) via MLA/SCRA Chase Sapphire Reserve: $0 annual fee for military/spouses Strategic Tips: Always volunteer to pay group bills/dinners (earn points, get reimbursed) Premium economy fine for daytime flights under 8-9 hours Business class essential for overnight/long-haul flights (9+ hours) Plan 1-2 years ahead for big trips - comfortable pace to build points Opening velocity: Ross did one card every 91 days at peak (very aggressive) Combine household points (Chase, Amex, Capital One allow this) Book tickets in anyone's name, not just your own Credit Card Stacking Strategy: Don't use one premium card for everything Match card to spending category for maximum points Chase "cash back" cards earn Ultimate Rewards points if you have Sapphire Reserve/Preferred Transfer between household members before booking Welcome bonuses are the real value - daily spend is bonus Business Culture Hack: Instead of $5-10K cash bonus, give employees 500K miles + book their dream trip Tax deductible, builds culture, retains talent More memorable than cash bonus IHG Five Free Nights Strategy: Five free nights at properties up to 60K points/night Ross staying 4 nights in Grand Cayman at $800/night hotel = $3,200 saved Fourth night free on award bookings Anniversary free night each year Used for wedding block, earning 26x points on wedding expenses Common Mistakes to Avoid: Not asking vendors if they accept credit cards Using wrong card for spending category (leaving 2-3x points on table) Redeeming points poorly (gift cards, statement credits) Not tracking card benefits and credits Waiting too long to book award travel Not being flexible with dates/airports Tools & Resources Mentioned: Points.Yeah.com - Award availability search, flight ideas map Melio - Pay vendors via card when they only accept ACH Plastiq - Pay rent/large bills with credit card (2.9% fee) Free Points & Miles Cheat Sheet at ItineraryBoss.com Transfer partner guide and credit card multiplier sheets Key Quotes "There's millions of dollars that aren't being put on cards because of just not asking the right questions." "If you're earning 2x points and utilizing those points to transfer, even with a 3% fee, the numbers pencil when you're redeeming at 2-6 cents per point." "175,000 Amex points could be used to get you business class, first class seats - we used 176K Chase points for $12,700 worth of business class seats to South Africa." "Don't redeem for Amazon gift cards, statement credits, or through the portal - you're getting 0.6-0.7 cents per point. That's terrible." "Why give a $10K cash bonus when you could give someone 500K miles and book them a trip to Greece or Bali they'd never do on their own?"

Hong Kong was the final stop on our month-long journey through Asia, following our cruise from Hobart to Singapore. For Scott, it was a return after nearly 20 years. For Melissa, it was a first visit. What we both discovered was a city that felt surprisingly familiar, efficient, and easy to navigate.

January 2026 marks the first full moon of the year and aligns with the Hebrew month of Tevet (Tov – “Good”), a prophetic season of purification, consecration, and new beginnings. We are positioned in Hebrew year 5786 and the Gregorian year 2026, making this a powerful crossover moment to reset foundations and align with God's purposes.January functions as a first-fruits month, not as a feast day, but as a principle—a beginning month where we consecrate ourselves through prayer, fasting, and giving according to Matthew 6. This is a time to be cleansed, made holy, and properly positioned to step into everything God has prepared for this year.In this teaching, we explore the Torah portion Vayechi (Genesis 50) and the Haftarah reading from 1 Kings 2, comparing the lives of Joseph, Jacob, King David, and Solomon. Joseph's declaration—“What you meant for evil, God meant for good (Tov)”—reveals a critical kingdom key for 2026: forgiveness unlocks prosperity.Joseph refused to hold unforgiveness toward his brothers, recognizing that God sovereignly turned pain into provision and positioned him to save nations. This same principle applies today. If we want to walk in the true riches of the Kingdom, we must release debts, offenses, bitterness, and control.David's final instruction to Solomon in 1 Kings 2 reinforces this truth—prosperity flows from walking in God's ways with a whole heart. When we know God is good and for us, obedience becomes a joy, not a burden.Jesus affirmed this principle in Luke 16, revealing that the children of light must be wise and shrewd—releasing debts so that heavenly habitations and treasures are opened. Forgiveness is not weakness; it is spiritual authority.Ask the Lord:“What do You want me to give that proves I believe in Your goodness and Your greatness?”God never instructs without blessing. He is righteous, and righteousness produces prosperity.Books & ResourcesIn USA get your copy of my new book "Cracking the Time Code" to defeat delay and secure God's promises https://www.candicesmithyman.com/shop/p/preorder-cracking-the-time-code-step-into-supernatural-acceleration-stop-cycles-of-delay-and-secure-gods-promises-todayGet your copy of “365 Prophetic Revelations from the Hebrew Calendar”Www.candicesmithyman.com or out of USA go to https://amzn.to/4aQYoR0https://amzn.to/4aQYoR0Enroll in Soul Transformation and Dream Mentors 101 to become a credentialed biblical life coachWww.dreammentors.orgPodcast: Manifest His Presence on SpotifyEvents & Itinerary:https://candicesmithyman.com/eventsVisit: CandiceSmithyman.com for books, courses, & prophetic resources

Welcome to your Weekly Word! In this powerful prophetic message, Dr. Candice Smithyman teaches on the month of Tevet (Tibet)—a month of goodness, holiness, purification, consecration, and righteousness. As we cross into the new Gregorian year, we step into a season of First Fruits, aligning ourselves with God through praying, fasting, and giving from Matthew 6.This is a year of dominion and multiplication—a time when God is releasing Kingdom strategies, scrolls of destiny, and supernatural revelation for your 2026 assignment. As we journey through the Torah portions (Parashat Shemot, Exodus 1–6), we see Moses' commissioning and understand how God is preparing us in the same way: through consecration, purification, and divine encounter.Isaiah 61 • Exodus 1–6 • Moses' Commissioning • 5786 RevelationAsk the Lord:“What do You want me to give that proves I believe in Your goodness and Your greatness?”God never instructs without blessing.

Send us a textA cocktail crush meets a cruise daydream as we raise a glass to the Piranha Punch and sketch out two wildly different Disney Cruise adventures. First, we crown a new favorite tequila drink—reposado warmth, citrus lift, pineapple brightness, and a gentle bitter backbone—then we ask what it means to sail Disney like adults who love great food, strong storytelling, and unfussy luxury.From there, we split the map. One of us plans an Asia-forward arc with Singapore as a launchpad and culture-rich stops across Bangkok and Ho Chi Minh City—think temples, floating markets, street food heat, and a little architectural awe at Marina Bay Sands. We talk about how Disney's family-first approach fits Southeast Asia's cruise scene and why seven-day routes with smart sea-day spacing could make the Adventure a standout beyond short hops.The counterpoint heads to Europe aboard Disney Treasure, where the ship becomes the destination. Sea days are for AquaMouse ride-throughs, animation classes, and a rotating dinner lineup that includes Plaza de Coco, 1923, and Marvel-themed cuisine. Ports in Barcelona, Lisbon, and La Coruña invite wandering, local bites, and a touch of history before evenings settle into Skipper Society cocktails, first-run movies, and a Broadway-style Tale of Moana. We compare strategies—port-heavy exploration versus ship-centric play—and land on a simple truth: Disney at sea can absolutely be grown-up, balanced, and deeply fun.If you're curious about adult-only spaces, Broadway-quality shows, smarter dining, and how to build an itinerary that actually fits your pace, you'll feel right at home here. Listen, share your dream route, and tell us your must-sip Disney cocktail. Subscribe, leave a review, and drop your best itinerary idea—we might just plan it next.

Today we're taking you to South Western Colorado to spend three days exploring Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park!Download our ⁠Itinerary to follow our same route in Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park⁠It is one of Colorado's four National Parks and is Colorado's least visited national park. It is in western Colorado, not far from the Utah Border. The Canyon is a deep, steep-walled gorge carved through Precambrian rock by the Gunnison River. There are two main sections of the park, the more remote North Rim and the more popular South Rim, both have views of the canyon's dramatic drops and the striated Painted Wall cliff. There is another section called East Portal, which is a steep road that descends to the river. The park was named for its cliffs that are often darkened by shadows, making the walls appear black. The canyon itself is so vertical that the Gunnison River drops an average of 43 feet per mile, and 240 feet per mile at its steepest point at Chasm View, making some of the steepest mountain descents in North America.Episode Highlights: Tips for visiting Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park Best hikes and view points on the North RimBest hikes and view points on the South RimDriving down the East Portal Where to stay in Crawford (⁠The Hitching Post Hotel and Farm Store⁠ or ⁠The Stone House Inn⁠)Where to stay in Montrose (⁠The Rathbone Hotel ⁠or ⁠Fairfield by Marriott⁠) Items to pack: ⁠reusable utensils⁠, ⁠tripod⁠, and ⁠mini travel umbrella ⁠When is the best time to visit Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park?This national park is best seen from May- September.
