Hello old friends (and new)... check out my new Travel website!

[Preds]

Hey guys. It's been a while since I popped in to my old stomping grounds. For those that don't know me, I was a founder of not only these boards but also the Frenzy and SACD leagues.

A couple years ago I stepped away from Fantasy Football to focus on my home life and my career. I have to admit, I truly miss the camaraderie with my FF friends, but I can tell you I've taken advantage of my new found free time and put it to good use. I've bonded closer with my family, and also researched and trained for a second career (after 25+ years in healthcare administration).

Those that do know me, know I've always had a passion for travel. Last year I made a strategic decision to to take advantage of my personal travel experiences, as well as 20+ years as an executive travel planner for a physician, and start a second career in something I'm very passionate about and really enjoy... that being travel! If you remember the passion I had FF, how I gave my all to take the game to the next level, just imagine what I will do for you in travel!

Over the past year I've devoted a lot of time training and working on my CLIA certification through a friends agency. I've spent the past 3 months exploring a strategic partnership to help take my second career to an elite level, and as such am pleased to announce that I've recently partnered up with Expedia® CruiseShipCenters® as a Cruise and Vacation Specialist!

The reason I teamed up with Expedia® CruiseShipCenters® is their great pricing, access to phenomenal group rates, excellent customer support, great booking technology and a full service travel website. With their support, I can usually beat the price of any travel company and provide you top notch service to boot.

Best Regards,

Mike

She want's to cruise from Hawaii to Alaska? Do you have 3 weeks to take off? .

To do that you'd have to do a repositioning cruise from Honolulu to Vancouver, then take a 2nd cruise from Vancouver to Alaska.

The repositioning cruises are all 11-12 days, while the Alaska segments are 7 days and up.

Wouldn't you rather fly to say Vancouver or Seattle and cruise Alaska from there?

Jody just told me that Alaska cruises depart from Seattle. So, yah... I'm clueless.

, I thought maybe you had some inside Kamaʻāina knowledge on Hawaii to Alaska cruises I've never heard of!

Most Alaska inside passage cruises depart from Seattle or Vancouver. Other departure points are Anchorage, and Seward on some 1 way sailings (nothbound or southbound), and once a season out of LA or San Diego for repositioning to Seattle/Vanouver.
