Great Lakes Cruise: Welland Canal
All, This is our last day aboard. We're heading for Toronto through the Welland Canal, which is pretty amazing. It's what humans built to avoid having to go over Niagara Falls (or carry their canoes) up from Lake Ontario to Lake Erie. As we mentioned at the start,...
Great Lakes Cruise: Niagra Falls
All, I'm thinking that the Erie folks (and maybe others?) are getting bored by my reporting from places so close to home. Amish country yesterday. Today, Niagara Falls. Now, to be fair, even though many of us have been there dozens/hundreds of times, it is very cool....
Great Lakes Cruise: Ohio Amish Country
All, I've got to say that even though this is kind of our own backyard, this tour was far more interesting and enjoyable than I expected. Probably should not have been so surprised by that, I guess. It was about an hour and a half ride from the Port of Cleveland to...
Getting Closer to Home
All, Yesterday, we visited Detroit, Michigan. Motor City. Motown. (And the home of Scott Frederick's beloved Lions 😉). Went to the Henry Ford museum. Lots of amazing stuff -- the innovations of the past and possibly the future. It was a nice day and (though not a...

Great Lakes Cruise: Mackinac Island
Well, though the trip has been nice, today is the first day that we got to see something that felt very different from everyday life*. *Note: Derek made a very good point: He said, "Why would you think a Great Lakes cruise would be so different when you LIVE on one of...
Great Lakes Cruise: Thunder Bay
Here’s where we are for Day 2. Took off from Duluth yesterday. As on all cruises, the first thing they do is to give everyone a safety briefing. These are important since (as we all know) sh*t happens sometimes, and it’s good to be prepared. So, most guests pay some...
Start Of Our 2 Week Great Lakes Viking Cruise
Hi everyone, Hallie and I are starting our two-week Great Lakes Viking Cruise. And while it is just a vacation (no work stops), I thought some of you might like to follow our travels. We have taken several Viking cruises in Europe, Asia, and South America, which were...
