Welcome to Travels with Dave & Bill!

We hope you will enjoy our live blog updates during our travels.  Click on the navigation buttons above or the title in the index below to view the travel blog you are interested in.  

As always, please keep in mind that we express opinions based on our own expectations and experience.  We call them as we see them.  Our blog reflects our personal experiences as they happened without regard for hotel or cruise line hype.  In spite of the impression you may get from reading our blow-by-blow account, we are not picky travelers and we do not complain to the staff (if we do we will tell you!).  We are very happy to give credit when it is due.  However, nothing is perfect and we are not afraid to tell our readers about things that could be improved or that are not up to the standards relative to the price.  If you prefer looking at the world through rose-colored glasses or only want to hear how wonderful everything is, then this site is probably not the place for you.  If you want an honest reflection of what really happened during our adventures, you have come to the right place! 

In addition to our daily experiences, we'll offer up a review of each hotel, restaurant, attraction and city we visit.  If there are things that are "must see" or "must skip", we'll tell you about those, too.  Sometimes we'll drag an entire city through the mud if we have to, but mostly we'll give you advice on what we've seen and our viewpoint on whether or not you might want to visit that place, too.

Be sure to join our No-Nonsense Travel Forum where you can ask questions and participate in the discussion of our adventures as they progress.  Only members may view sections of the forum that relate to the current itinerary, so don't delay...sign up today, it's free!

So, with all that in mind, we hope you will appreciate our day to day experience as much as we do.

Thanks for joining us,

Dave & Bill
