Hi Everyone,
It looks like there is a major glitch in the September 23 blog causing it to pull items from recent weeks. The techies are working to fix as we speak. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi Everyone,
Epcot’s IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth will end in the second half of 2019. Disney Parks Live Entertainment is already working to create a new show to debut immediately following the conclusion of IllumiNations, an EPCOT staple of 20 years. Disney officials said they will continue the tradition of nightly entertainment on the World Showcase Lagoon. Visitors still have plenty of time to enjoy the attraction before it ends next summer.
This week has seen Delta, United, WestJet, JetBlue, and Air Canada raise their luggage fees to $30 for the first bag on domestic flights. It is a pretty safe bet that the remainder of the domestic airlines will follow suit. The lone holdout is Southwest which continues to allow you to check 2 bags for free.
In other airline news, United will change the number of boarding lanes from five to two, giving customers more space at boarding gates that are becoming increasingly crowded as airline traffic increases. United will now also let passengers know when exactly their flight is boarding through the United App and text messages for those passengers who provide their mobile phone numbers at time of booking. They are hoping to alleviate the congestion in front of gates during the boarding process. Not sure if this will work, but if it does it would be awesome not to have to fight your way through the crowds to board.

Hi Everyone,
We just finished a great river cruise called Castles Along the Rhine. This Amsterdam to Basel cruise is an amazing trip down the River Rhine. Our first stop was Cologne where we had a wonderful tour of the city and its amazing Cathedral. We then stopped in the historic town of Koblenz where we had a choice of a walking tour or a visit to the Marksburg Castle. Wednesday was an amazing day as we sailed along the stretch of river known as the Romantic Rhine and saw castle after castle. While enjoying the scenery on a brighter fall day, our crew was cooking up snacks of sausage, sauerkraut, and pretzels along with plenty of good German brew. We then went on to the beautiful town of Rudesheim and a wine tasting at the beautiful Castle Vollards. Thursday was a special day as we went to vinegar tasting. You may not think this would be special but it was amazing. We were then off to a cooking class where a small group of 8 of us cooked a proper German meal (and ate it). Friday was spent in the beautiful town of Strasbourg where we strolled through Petite France and marveled at the soaring Cathedral. Others in our group went off to the Black Forest. Saturday we had a choice of visiting 2 Alsatian Wine Villages or a Colmar walking tour-both good choices. We opted for an little independent stroll through the beautiful village of Breisach, Germany. This morning we said goodbye to our shipmates and crew and started the journey back to the USA.
We are in the air as I write this so our normal blog will resume next week.
