Where in the world was AnitaVacation's Weekly Views newsletter last week?  Well, out to sea…literally.  I had hoped to be able to update the website and send the newsletter while cruising the Baltics; however, technical difficulties made it impossible.  I do apologize for the missing issue.  Good news is - AnitaVacation is back and full of new content.  In the past month, I have visited Bermuda, Copenhagen, Helsinki, St. Petersburg, Tallinn (Estonia), Stockholm, and London. Moreover, I have cruised on two amazing cruise ships: Radisson Seven Seas Navigator and Silversea's Silver Whisper.  As you can imagine, I have a lot to write about that I feel you will find useful and interesting.  

In addition, you will be seeing some changes and improvements as AnitaVacation approaches its first anniversary in September. You might have noticed one major change: Advertising at the top of every page. These ads help support AnitaVacation; I encourage you to investigate any travel deals that intrigue you.  I will keep you informed on all the upcoming changes and of course great new content.  Please feel to write me with your thoughts and questions; I will do my best to respond!

Happy Travels!
