Cruise Ship Review: Celebrity Infinity


I came back from my trip sailing with Celebrity Cruises, which is a luxury-focused cruise line. I was on a 7-night cruise aboard the Celebrity Infinity, which sailed to Croatia, Turkey, and various ports in Greece. The Celebrity Infinity is a part of their Millennium-class ships, built between 2000-2002 and all recently renovated, though the Infinity definitely shows its age in its decor and furnishings. My perks for sailing on this cruise include the basic Wifi package, the classic drink package, and an onboard credit.

Final Fantasy XVI - If "Game Of Thrones" Was A Video Game


I do not think I have reviewed a main-line Final Fantasy game on this blog. I have reviewed the Final Fantasy VII Remake, as well as Crisis Core, but I finally get to talk about a brand-new Final Fantasy adventure and find out if FFXVI is as good as the legendary name that dons it.

The Worst and Best of Air Transat


I just came back from my extended vacation in Europe, and even though there were too many tours and not enough beach days, I still had a good time. My trip was book-ended by two flights from Air Transat. The flight going to Rome was the worst flight I have ever experienced, while the flight coming home from Athens was the best flight I ever experienced. I will talk about both experiences in the first of my many blog posts from the Europe trip.

I Go International (for real this time)

So, this will not be a very long blog post. I will be going to Europe for the first time in my life at the end of this week, and it is safe to say that I am pretty excited. A dream of mine is to travel to every habitable continent at least once in my lifetime, and I can cross the second continent off the list.

I will be travelling to Italy, Croatia, Greece, and Turkey over the next couple of weeks, so you will not see any new blog posts during that time. However, when I come back, I think there will be enough blog content to last the rest of the year. I squeezed as much blog content as I possibly can out of vacations to Mexico and Hawaii, but I think there will be even more to experience in Europe.

I don't really know what to expect when I go to Europe, maybe that everything is smaller and more narrow? I am expecting the food to be amazing, especially in Italy. There will be historic sites, beaches, and pickpockets I presume. The only way to know is if I go and see all of this for myself.

Hopefully I will have much to show on this very blog. Here is to another adventure!

Diddy Kong Racing - The Superior N64 Racing Game


I have been thinking about creating blog posts giving my thoughts playing video games that I used to play religiously in my childhood. There is no video game console that defined my childhood more and that I remember more fondly than the Nintendo 64. I have already written posts about Super Mario 64, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and Super Smash Bros. However, I want to use this post to talk about Diddy Kong Racing, which is the superior racing game on the N64, and certainly better than Mario Kart 64.
