More blogs, more cruising, more answers

Early this week I'll try to answer questions you've posted in the comments. They will be posted near your comment, so take a look there!

For more on Freedom of the Seas, see my review on June 25 in The Miami Herald. It will be posted online at www.MiamiHerald.com/travel

Also check out comments at Cruise Critic . More than 140 of its members were onboard, including the 40 members of The Pink Boa Society, a group of 40 cruisers who met online as they planned their trips aboard Freedom.

Also see Cruise Diva Linda Coffman's review Cruise Diva.

My next blog chronicles my one-month trip as I drive solo from Miami to Seattle in search of the real America. I'll also investigate whether a woman can travel safely in the U.S. when she's on a tight budget.

My driving blog begins August 20 at MiamiHerald.com/travel. If you've got tips for places I should check out on my drive, please post them here. See you soon!
