Hotel Listing

After our somewhat recent trip to Aberdeen, SD, Becky and I decided to put together a complete listing of hotels we've stayed at. You can find it here: Hotels

Kansas City - May 2007

Left for KC on a Sunday morning, back Monday Evening with Jeff and Marie and Matt and Elyse. We went to Worlds of Fun and stayed at the Embassy Suites by the Plaza. For around $150, their suites are an awesome value, with a front room with mini-kitchen. Their two-tier pool was nice as well. See the photos in the New Gallery.

• A CNBC Special about how NCL makes money

Other Peoples' Trips

• Mike and Renée Hall's Cruise Photos and reviews
• CruiseDiva.com's review of the Star Princess - Our First ship
• NCL Jade - Athens to Istanbul - This cruise is very similar to one we're looking at.
• Mike and Carol's trips - A bit higher end travel, but lots of great ship info

Travel Aggregators

• Priceline - They have some great deals if you don't care about the specifics (their classic model). If you don't use their "make an offer" feature, their rates are ho-hum.
• Travelocity - Yet another travel aggregator.
• Cru Con - The "Cruise Outlet"... Again, if you take what's on sale, some awesome last-minute deals.

General Resources

• Seat Guru - Get the low-down on your airplane seat.
• Cruise Critic - Lots of resources, but we use it mainly for the message boards.
