Helping the Young People in Our Lives Find Their Way

Posted on April 2, 2025April 2, 2025 by Marita Littauer Tedder

On each cruise, as I have interacted with these wonderful young people, I have been struck with what a great opportunity this is—especially for those who are at an in between place in life. This is true even for those who are a bit older. I’ve thought: “Maybe women my age have a grandchild (or great niece or nephew) for whom a job on ACL would be a perfect fit.” But who thinks of this? It is not like they’d be working for some foreign conglomerate. ACL is family owned and all American.

Are You Ready for Your Next Adventure?

Posted on May 15, 2024May 15, 2024 by Marita Littauer Tedder

Throughout Lauren’s and my recent travel, we’ve met people who have been on many cruises and to exotic places—Antarctica being just one of them. People asking Lauren why she’d go to Antarctica prompted a more general, more philosophical question: Why travel? Lauren queried her Facebook friends and I intentionally sat with people I didn’t know on my April cruise to learn their answers to the question.

Yes, I Could Travel with Just Two Pairs of Shoes, But Why?

Posted on June 6, 2023October 12, 2023 by Marita Littauer Tedder

I always thought I’d write a book: “Yes, I Could Travel with just Two Pairs of Shoes, but Why?” The subtitle was going to be: “Finding Fun in a World focused on Efficiency.” I never wrote the book as I never found an answer worthy of a book.

Get Ready for a Trip with Your Girlfriends

Posted on April 21, 2023October 12, 2023 by Marita Littauer Tedder

While being thought provoking for your own life, the Wildwater Walking Club books are an easy and entertaining read. I tend to read in bed, next to my husband—with my Kindle in dark mode. Many times, I had to stifle my chuckle to keep from waking him up. You will love the friendship and camaraderie between the women as well as their travels—you will feel like you are on the trip with them. The health coaching and life lessons are an added bonus.

Coins of the Bible – Holding History in your Hand

Posted on April 3, 2023 by Lauren Briggs

Having just returned from a tour of the Holy Land, (more on this later) I literally saw Biblical history come to life. We saw a reclaimed first century fishing boat from the Sea of Galilee, stood at the headwaters of the Jordan River where Jesus asked, “Who do you say I am?” and walked the…

Traveling with Adult Siblings

Posted on March 16, 2023March 17, 2023 by Pam Stephens

During the planning of the trip of a lifetime to the Banff and Jasper area of Alberta, Canada, we were trying to narrow down what to see as a group to make it a terrific experience.  It’s always a good idea to do this when traveling in a “caravan.”

International Travel and Credit Cards

Posted on March 7, 2023October 12, 2023 by Marita Littauer Tedder

When traveling, it is advisable to have a back-up credit card in case any happens to the first one. Different cards are different. Check them out to determine which set of pro and cons will work the best for your individual situation. Regardless of which card you choose, it is helpful to advise them of your travel plans so your card is not denied when you try to use it in a foreign country.

Best-Life Definition

Posted on February 18, 2023October 12, 2023 by Marita Littauer Tedder

Living our best life Is not about being rich, popular, or highly educated, but all about being confident in who we are, being strong and self-reliant, and being good friends with generous hearts.
