One of the best ways to celebrate your new accomplishment of marriage is to sail away on a romantic cruise to a romantic destination. WIth all the chaos of planning a wedding, why not choose a honeymoon destination that is simple to plan and affordable? When you go on a cruise you are embarking on an all-inclusive vacation. You won’t need to plan what to eat, what to do, or how to get around town- all of this is taken care of for you. When choosing a destination to cruise to on your honeymoon, the options are nearly endless, but below you’ll find the top  romantic cruise destinations for you and your sweetie.

Disney Honeymoon Cruises

It’s time to unthink the notion that Disney cruises are just for families. These days there are more and more things for couples to do together in a romantic setting. While aboard the ship, you’ll spend a number of days sailing the Caribbean, and enjoy at least a day at Disney World, either at the beginning of your trip or at the end. Choosing Disney to take you for a cruise is even more hassle-free than a standard cruise, because they provide transportation and other special accomodations for you. If you happen to mention that you are celebrating your honeymoon, the cruise director will make sure you enjoy even more fun and romantic options.

European Honeymoon Cruises

It seems like many people go on a cruise to the Caribbean, but this is definitely not the only destination to enjoy. Another wonderful alternative is a European cruise through the Greek Islands and other Mediterranean locations. A European cruise is very romantic, stopping at some of the most beautiful places in the world. You’ll also receive tons of privacy to celebrate your new found love together. If you select the right cruise, you’ll be fortunate enough to be on a cruise that is exclusively for couples. This way you won’t have to deal with the hassle of families and children running around, or singles looking for their next partner. Instead, you can focus on celebrating your love for each other.

Hawaiian Honeymoon Cruises

Hawaii may just be the top honeymoon destination for newlywed couples. Because you don’t need a passport for this exciting trip, this might just be a great option for your honeymoon getaway. On the cruise, you’ll visit islands such as Kauai, Maui, and the big island of Hawaii. You’ll also be able to check out beautiful black sand beaches, explore the wondrous corral reefs, or take a scuba diving trip down to the ocean floor. When you board a Hawaii cruise ship, you’ll also have the chance to experience some traditional Hawaiian cultre. You’ll be able to take part in traditional food and celebrations, like the luaus. By staying within the United States the cost of booking this cruise will be much lower than cruises that go to other parts of the world.

Caribbean Honeymoon Cruises

As stated before, the Caribbean is another quite popular honeymoon destination, particularly for couples who want to spend some time in the sun. Most ships that you’ll travel on either exclusively travel to Eastern destinations of Western destination, however, some longer cruises to the Caribbean may have you traveling all over the islands. The really great thing about booking a Caribbean honeymoon cruise is that you get the chance to see many different islands without having to book a separate vacation to each one of them. Along the way, cruise employees will make sure you are able to enjoy various island activities, food, and much, much more.

Alaskan Honeymoon Cruises

Alaska has been known to be one of the best cruise destinations, especially for those couples who don’t care so much for the tropical weather of other cruise destinations. There are many Alaskan options when booking your honeymoon cruise. While on board, you’ll have the chance to go whale watching, maybe see the Northern Lights, and participate in other romantic activities. Even though you may be traveling to a cooler climate, that doesn’t mean that you won’t be able to take part in traditional cruise activities. You’ll still be able to try unique foods, take various classes, and maybe even check out the pool if it’s warm enough. Another great perk to going on an Alaskan cruise is that you’ll be able to see majestic wildlife. Imagine how romantic it would be to explore the various wildlife together with your spouse.

French Polynesian Cruises

If you’d rather stay tropical, climb on board a French Polynesian cruise. These cruises leave from Hawaii, but don’t travel to the typical destination of the Caribbean; it offers much more excitement. Typical destinations that you will visit include, Tahiti, Bora Bora, Moorea, and Papeete. The Polynesian culture is a unique and romantic culture, allowing you and yours the opportunity to truly induldge in your celebrations for each other. Cruises in this part of the world are also much smaller and less crowded, giving you and your spouse the intimate setting you’ve been waiting for. Traditional activities for this kind of cruise include, diving, fishing, and snorkeling, since the reefs in this area are unlike any others. A romantic dive is just what you need to start off your new marriage.

Your honeymoon is an important time to connect with your new spouse and recover from all the stress and frenzy that was associated with your wedding, so choosing the right destination is imperative. It’s also a good idea to involve each other in the planning of the trip, considering what will provide the most relaxing and romantic setting. First, set your budget, then explore all of these great honeymoon cruise options, you’re sure to be surprised at how affordable these cruises can really be. Finally, when you are booking your cruise, make sure to mention that it is your honeymoon, because many cruise lines will offer special discounts, rates and romantic amentities to make your trip a truly memorable occasion.

Most people who decide to become traders – stock trading, futures trading or forex trading, want to become traders for lifestyle reasons.  What are the main lifestyle benefits of being a trader , and how can you expect to live once you become a full time trader?

Why do many would be traders, intelligent, well educated people who understand the mechanics of the financial markets fail in their trading?

There are a few aspects of lifestyle that are unique to traders.  Firstly, trading does not involve answering emails, working in an office, corporate politics, regular working hours or any of the things associated with corporate life, or employment. There is little in common with ordinary employment.

Secondly, successful traders can be extremely wealthy.  Their income is not restricted to the amount they can sell, how hard they work, or their position on the corporate ladder. 

No matter how hard you work in most jobs, you won’t be driving a Ferrari.  Paul Tudor Jones, a top trader made more than $700 million in just one year. In trading, the trappings of substantial wealth are within reach.  If you’ve ever wanted to help out your parents, or fund a cause you believe in, money is the key.  Trading is all about making money.

Trading can occur wherever you have a computer and an Internet connection.  You can trade from virtually anywhere on the planet.  If you want to sail the Caribbean on a yacht and trade, you can do so.  You don’t need to be at a certain place at a certain time, or commute to the office or factory.  Trading gives you the gift of time with your family and flexibility. 

Whilst trading offers an enviable lifestyle, unfortunately most new traders will never be successful.  Why is this? 

Well trading is the ultimate expression of capitalism – traders meeting in a market place.  There are no distortions.  Nepotism means nothing.  Charm and appearance are irrelevant.  All the reasons that people can make it in employment whilst being useless are no longer applicable.

More than 95% of would be traders fail.  They don’t have a trading plan, or a profitable system.  They lack discipline or suffer internal conflicts.  They chase after scams or won’t put in the work to learn about the market, forgetting how hard it is to learn any new job.  Sometimes they spend all their time on forums, following the herd, or looking for a broker to hold their hands.  They won’t manage risks.

Perhaps, they don’t want to succeed, and are more comfortable relating to people on their own financial plane.  The losing trader has not yet overcome the obstacles between them and success.

The 5% of successful traders want to be profitable, but their primary drive is to succeed by fulfilling their true potential in the market place.  The successful trader stands out among those who criticise him on the way by achieving the peak of what most people can only aspire to – true independence and self mastery after overcoming many hurdles.

If like me you are a fan of the hit TV show Medium,that is based on the life of real life medium Alison DuBois, and portrayed by actress Patricia Arquette. What you may not know is that Alison DuBois also enjoys supporting her favorite charities.And that two of her favourite charities are the Make a Wish Foundation and the Humane Society, as she loves children and animals.Below are two examples of some of the Make a wish foundation`s work from their website.

DREAM COME TRUE-NUMBER ONE

For Tiffany, 6, a Make-A-Wish® experience was a much-needed relief from the day-to-day challenges of recovering from leukemia.

“She went eight days chemo-free,” said her mother, Renee. “No needles, no pokes, no treatments … it was freedom!”

Nearly two years into her chemotherapy treatments and with one year still left, Tiffany was ready for such a break. She enjoyed those carefree days on the Royal Caribbean International ship Serenade of the Seas, which sailed to Alaska, her mother’s birthplace.

Tiffany packed comfortable clothes, raingear, binoculars and a camera to document her wish experience. She and her family set sail to see amazing sights: vast landscapes, majestic mountainsides and amazing wildlife.

“She loves whales and water,” Renee said.

Viewing glaciers, sea lions, and humpback whales was just the beginning of Tiffany’s happy adventure. Serenade of the Seas also stopped in Vancouver, B.C., where Tiffany and her family enjoyed Stanley Park and other tourist attractions. When not exploring land, the family kept themselves busy with an endless list of shipboard activities.

“She loves to cook, and she got to cook with the chef,” Renee said. “They gave her the experience of a lifetime that she will never forget, and we are truly thankful.”

DREAM COME TRUE-NUMBER TWO

There is always one place that can raise Elliot’s spirits: Duluth, Minnesota. After he was diagnosed with leukemia when he was 2 ½ years old, Elliot’s parents would take him to Duluth’s Canal Park near the shore of Lake Superior. Watching the boats and the lift bridges was always a respite from his debilitating chemotherapy treatments.

Though Elliot and his family moved away, he never forgot those happy moments watching ships and hearing the sounds of horns blaring over the water. He told volunteers from the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Minnesota that his fondest wish was to drive one of those boats near his birthplace in Duluth.

Angela King-Jones, wish coordinator for the chapter, called Duluth’s mayor to ask permission to grant Elliot’s wish. The story immediately caught the community’s imagination. The mayor was happy to help, and the staff came up with creative ways to fulfill and enhance the boy’s wish. “The community really rallied around Elliot and his family,” King-Jones said. “The mayor granted special permission for Elliot to blow the horn at the lift bridge.”

Elliot and his family boarded the tour boat Vista Star. Captain Chris, who they knew from previous excursions, gave them a warm greeting. He and his crew gave Elliot the VIP treatment and presented him with his own captain’s hat. And the captain let Elliot sound the horn requesting the bridge lift. Under the captain’s supervision, Elliot piloted the ship past the bridge. Everyone celebrated with a pizza party aboard the Vista Star.

Bring on the Noise

At the massive Aerial Lift Bridge (one of Elliot’s favorite maritime attractions), Elliot climbed into the control booth where bridge Supervisor Ryan Beamer let him push the big black button as many times as he wanted. The blasts startled tourists, commuters and seagulls out of their daily routines. With every blast of the horn, Elliot’s smile got even wider.

Many Duluth residents already knew what was happening – the local media had written about his unusual wish. So every blast of the horn gave them a reason to smile, too.

Thanks for the Memories

Sara and Aron, Elliot’s parents, were thrilled with the warm reception the family experienced in Duluth. Part of Elliot’s wish included staying at the South Pier Inn so he could have an up-close view of the ships passing under the bridge. “So many people helped us to be present during our trip and to spend time as a family … and to make Elliot’s trip such a magical time,” they wrote in a thank-you letter published in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.

Elliot also rode in the locomotive of a train, visited local landmarks including the Duluth Children’s Museum and Great Lakes Aquarium, and enjoyed a meal at the New Scenic Café.

Elliot is now in a three-year maintenance phase of treatment and is doing very well, according to his parents.
