Living in San Francisco and the Oakland East Bay Area most of my life, I can attest to the fact that sometimes it’s hard to choose where to go. Here are some of my favorite day trips from Oakland and San Francisco. And after all these years, I’m still exploring.

If you’re like me, food is one of the most exciting aspects of a cruise vacation. I didn’t name my site Travel Eat Cook for nothing! The thought of indulging in delicious meals while sailing the open seas is enough to make any foodie’s heart skip a beat.
So, is food free on a cruise? The short answer is yes. The good news is that your basic fare includes food on all major cruise lines. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and most snacks you may want to eat in between are free and included in your fare.

October is a great time to go on a cruise. The weather is starting to cool down, so you avoid the hot and humid summer months. And, because the peak of hurricane season has passed, you can be more confident that a storm won’t impact your cruise ship.

Most Americans are intrigued by Salem, Massachusetts, due to the infamous witch trials in 1692 – 93, before the United States was even a country. Salem is a city steeped in history and mystique. With its early maritime heritage, Salem has a historical significance that resonates through its cobblestone streets and historic landmarks.
At the heart of this journey lies the Salem Heritage Trail. I found the trail while studying for our trip to Boston. This meandering path invites visitors to trace the footsteps of the city’s storied past. It lends itself to a perfect day trip to Salem.

Every year, between April and October (the Alaska cruise season), nearly 1.3 million choose to cruise Alaska. That’s nearly twice as many visitors to Alaska as the locals who live there. I have been one of those cruisers three different times.

You may be stopping in Lima, Peru, on your way to Aguas Calientes and the archaeological site of Machu Picchu, or as many travelers do, arriving on one of the many cruise ships that overnight in the port of Callao (Lima, Peru) each year. Lima is not usually a city most would choose as a tourist destination. There are a lot of misconceptions about the Peruvian capital.
But this capital city also has a lot of history and beauty, and you can find this in just 1 day in Lima, Peru.
