]]> Comment on Free and Cheap Things to Do in Venice, Italy by Chrissy Travels http://travelingmamas.com/free-and-cheap-things-to-do-in-venice/#comment-34986 Chrissy Travels Sat, 28 Jan 2012 23:38:42 +0000 http://travelingmamas.com/?p=15343#comment-34986 Venice was definitely one of the most expensive cities I've visited in Italy. I was there last year and opted to stay about a 10 minute train ride away in the town of Mestre. A much more affordable alternative if you find yourself staying overnight . It was a referral from my Italian friends and worth the short commute in. Venice was definitely one of the most expensive cities I’ve visited in Italy.

]]> Comment on Why Now is the Best Time to Take a Cruise by Keith http://travelingmamas.com/why-now-is-the-best-time-to-take-a-cruise/#comment-34971 Keith Tue, 24 Jan 2012 15:34:09 +0000 http://travelingmamas.com/?p=16458#comment-34971 As you know, we're regular client of Costa Cruises; we've done three cruises with them, and have no complaints whatsoever. Although there still, of course, have to be an official enquiry, it would seem there's pretty damning evidence that the Captain was at fault. As an ex-Navy friend said ... you can put all the safety measures you can in place, but you will never make any ship 'sailor-proof'. I grieve for the loss of all those lives, and for the fate of a fine ship (I've never cruised on 'Concordia', but 'Serena' was of a similar design), but it's not going to stop us cruising ... with Costa for preference.
