Red Bay, Labrador, Canada was a beautiful port of call, but this tiny hamlet strained to show its best face to over 2000 cruise passengers at once https://t.co/1Oo9hfdCJP

Greenland was the highlight of my first big trip since COVID hit. Here's a review of the Port of Qaqortoq from the perspective of a family traveler (with teens!) who has some mobility restrictions. First impression, what I did, & what to wear for comfort https://t.co/fwi9A8GCZ3

HAL cruises appeal to an older, traditional crowd. Here's a cruise report from a family with teens on a 24 day North Atlantic voyage to Greenland, Iceland, Canada and France as the pandemic lingered and affected travelers worldwide. https://t.co/vvKwTTLgTd

COVID vaccines are a miracle, a blessing & quite literally wonderful, yet the NY Times reports Americans are barely aware that new, more effective bivalent doses are NOW AVAILABLE for those over age 12. COVID vaccination is free of charge in the USA. https://t.co/O35AemNzpC

Spills happen when traveling at least as often as at home. Here's advice from one not-so-tidy blogger on products that make doing laundry on the road easier, from spots to sink washing. https://t.co/XpGP3Azxhv

When my knee suddenly stopped supporting my weight, a compression sleeve and an aluminum walking stick called the HurryCane helped me to keep my footing. Thanks @The_HurryCane #RA #autoimmune #chronicpain https://t.co/T21cD6SouX

Still COVID cautious in 2022 but embarking on a cruise this summer? This is why our family decided in favor of a Holland America Line voyage though the pandemic lingers. https://t.co/ge70vKWZDI

Alaska and Southwest airlines maintain bans for passengers who violated U.S. Code §46504 over mask mandates; American, Delta & United will welcome mask offenders back, putting profits ahead of crew and pax safety. I'll fly with Alaska or SW. https://t.co/FVUWDgs4lL

Not all COVID-19 home tests are the same, especially for those with less-than-average manual dexterity. One blogger offers her thoughts on why Abbott's BinaxNOW or Cue's molecular test might be easier to administer for those with arthritis of the hands https://t.co/o42HjJa0V2

Fiction set during WWII's Blitz prepped my mind for 2021's On Tyranny (graphic edition.) Russia's invasion of Ukraine made the lesson timely. On Tyranny reminds me that I, and all free people, must work to keep the democracy I hold dear. https://t.co/CYl17mo7Rj

Some governments are using commercial surveillance software to target dissidents, journalists & others around the globe who they perceive as critics. See today's bulletin from @NCSCgov & @StateDept for ways to guard against this digital surveillance: https://t.co/CBSsUBVWqL

PDX feels a lot less accessible during construction. Travelers with mobility limitations should allow extra time & consider requesting a wheelchair assist if they have trouble walking long distances https://t.co/NtGuaIoH7u
