Cruise stopping in Haiti?

There has been some backlash for Royal Caribbean....including their stop in Labadee, Haiti so soon....
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ynews/20100119/ts_ynews/ynews_ts1063

They've been assisting in supplies and personnel, but there are still quite a few questions as to if it's right or not. What do you think?

Cougar Cruise?!?!?!

http://www.usatoday.com/travel/cruises/item.aspx?type=blog&ak=14737.blog

May 16-23, 2010
The world's second Cougar Cruise onboard Royal Caribbean Cruise Line.

The first one was with Carnival in December 2009
It was a smashing success, with sell out crowds and a waiting list!!!

They say that Royal Caribbean is only hosting the event, not marketing it or organizing it.

I guess 2009 was the year of the Cougar, so we will see what 2010 will bring!!!!

Puerto Rico off the beaten path

Thanks Bill for this great review!!! If you're looking for a resort off the beaten path in Puerto Rico, or any destination in the world, please contact me today for assistance!

Review. If you want to get away from the big crowds, Playa de Parguera in the southwest corner of the island
Is a delight. This hotel is the best I’ve ever been to for sun and fun relaxation.
Great for older adults (like me) who just want to sit and enjoy the sea and pool and drinks and etc.
Also great for parents with young children because of the great pool and everything (restaurant, vending machines, no place for kids to run off and get hurt)
Within an hour of several beaches, tourist villages, towns, and other “to do” stuff.
Parador de Parguera was $85 a night for double from Sun-Thurs., and $195 a night for Fri and Sat (but that included dinner and breakfast for two!).

Our room was literally 30 feet from the sea. Here’s my photo from our room:

Joan Rivers has problems at airport in Costa Rica

I'm not sure you have heard this story or not, but in the travel world it's always amazing to me when things like this happen.
We have been telling our passengers for MONTHS now that their name needs to match exactly as it appears on their government issued photo ID, or they run the risk of being denied boarding. This rule is starting to be strictly enforced, as of August 2009.
So, in an attempt to heed to these warnings, we have been extremely careful in how we type the passengers name. I always tell people, when speaking over the phone, to grab their drivers license, and read it to me exactly. So if it's a middle initial, then we run the ticket with a middle initial. If their full middle name is spelled out, then we spell it out completely on their ticket.

In the case of Joan Rivers, the person that issues her ticket, apparently issued her ticket in the name of Joseph Rivers???? Not even close. So, we're thinking that the counter agent probably recognized her, and the security member probably recognized her as well, but when she got down to the gate, she was stopped. And what an ordeal it was.
Here is a You Tube link to the interview on the Larry King Live show.

So from your friends here at Travel Leaders Suntime Travel, please make sure you are flying as the same name as your government issued photo ID, or risk being denied boarding.
Thanks!
