Bonobo – Days to Come



From the album Days to Come. Lyrics (thanks to the many viewers of this video): Journey set sail was to leave Cause I’m only birds & bees Lose and news and all things be Sunlight garden low red blossoms Moon tides of the sea When struggling for a magic grain We throw our life to the winds like rain For goodness sake Spare your failings and take the ability To strengthen No spirit can stimulate all minds Blossoms of days to come Blossoms of days to come Move away from your western guns Travel towards eastern suns Far above all earthly goals A pledge for creation’s soul Spirit finds fresh morning and the dew Of precious things Hope is a phoenix building wings to fly And what we wish shall be Like a breathe of fresh air Safe and secret powers That no love can spare Move away from your western guns Travel towards eastern suns Far above all earthly goals A pledge for creation’s soul Far above all earthly goals A pledge for creation’s soul Move away from your western guns Travel towards eastern suns Far above all earthly goals A pledge for creation’s soul 2x Far above all earthly goals A pledge for creation’s soul

The amenities offered by most cruise ships are similar in nature, and as such choosing the right cruise ship for your vacation is extremely important. Cruise line websites provides you with a wealth of information about their ships, the type of activities that can be found aboard, as well as, and probably most importantly, the cruise itinerary.

Before you make that final decision, find out the answers the following questions; or further more, ask your travel agent.

 1. Where does the ship dock? You will need to decide whether or not you want to fly for hours, or drive for an hour.

2. What are the ports of call? Are you the adventure seeker, nature lover, diver or hiker; or you jut absolutely adore shopping?

3. How many sea days do you have? Some persons may need a break from the various ports.

4. What kinds of shore excursions are offered? Do they offer enough of a variety? Do they suit your style?  

5. What amenities are included? Meals are included in the ticket price; however on most cruise ships you pay for bottled water, soda and alcohol. Purchasing these items will certainly put a dent I your budget.

6. Is there Internet services? Face book and “Farmville” lovers will need to stay in touch. The twitter fans may have that burning desire to keep on tweeting.

7. Are gratuities additional? Or are they included in your ticket price?

8. What are the dining options? Are there opportunities to eat at a more relaxed pace? Do you have freestyle dining like the Norwegian line or set dinner times like Carnival? Do they offer the Lido Deck dining as Carnival?

9. Do you fit in with the average age onboard? Older persons may find a Carnival cruise, with a horde of college partiers, much too much for them.  

10. What’s the ticket price? Remember, you get what you pay for onboard a cruise ship.

11. What activities does the ship offer within the ticket price? Each ship offers different levels of activities.

 These are just some of the guidelines that you can follow. In addition, there are many review sites and forums/chat rooms where one can get advice and information. One such site is www.cruisecritic.com.

Choosing a cruise ship to sail on is a major holiday investment so choose carefully; it would be a shame to invest in holiday memories of how bored or disappointed you felt.

What is the difference between wheel chair accessible cabins on cruises and non-wheel chair accessible?
My partner and I are not handicap and I have been assigned a room that is wheel chair accessible.
Can I ask the cruise line to change the room? Or it is not that bad?

Travelocity has a flexible dates option to find the cheapest fares between now and about a year from now, but it’s only for domestic US flights. Is there any way I can get the same type of information for a flight from Melbourne, Australia (MEL) to Salt Lake City, Utah (SLC)? We don’t care as much about WHEN my sister-in-law comes for a visit as how cheap we can get a ticket for her.
Every website I’ve tried, I have to enter specific dates. And Priceline is only for flights originating in the US. I want to find the cheapest price between now and June without having to search every day separately.

I currently took a summer job at a vacation hot spot at an entertainment complex (2 resturaunts and 7 bars). There are a few international employees that work under me and I am considering doing something of the sort next summer. I would like a bartending job for 4 months and am curious as to how to go about doing such. As well i am looking for people with experience in traveling to lead me to a certain destination hot spot that I will make money and have a lot of fun!
