Do people even use old fashioned paper maps anymore? These days they�d be collecting huge layers of dust if they weren�t stored away safely in the glove compartment. But the price of protection is to be obsolete. Instead of folding out maps and squinting with frustration at the dots and lines, we�re yelling at the GPS that told us to make that exit too late.
Published January 8, 2010 | When one of my friends suggested that we take advantage of the holiday cruise deals that Royal Caribbean cruises was having, I was more than a little hesitant. There was, after all, a good reason why I had never gone on any cruise holidays before: I was scared to death. Although I knew a few people who had had a lot of fun on cruises holidays, I was just not up to it. I was worried that I would get seasick, that the boat would sink, that it would be one of those cruise ships where everyone breaks out with some strange disease, and even that we would be attacked by hijackers. Although I knew that, statistically, cruise holidays are a very safe way to travel, it was not enough to put me at ease.
