Where can I find a cheap 7 day cruise to Hawaii, that is scheduled for December 07 or January 08, for 3 people. I know I heard on the news the other day that January-March is “wave season” where the cruise lines give out great deals but how do I find them? I’ve tried, Royal Caribbean, Princess Cruise Lines, Norwiegan (sp?) Cruise line, and Carnival and I haven’t found a 7 day cruise yet. Anyone know of a travel agency online that could help or where to go for a great deal?
Thanks
Anyone have any use-able suggestions? Other than “You’ll be looking for a long time” Oh and cheap is if possible no more than 1000 per person, I live in California so maybe a departure from LAX or a Flight included into the price to Hawaii for the departure.
NCL America (a subsidiary of NCL) is the only cruise line that offers 7 day cruises of Hawaii. These are typically round trip from Honolulu. Every other cruise line offers 10+ day sailings around or to Hawaii, but they do not offer 7 day Hawaii sailings.
However, NCL America only offers Sunday and Monday departures and the dates you list are a Saturday and a Tuesday.
Booking this far out for Hawaii is actually a VERY good idea. Hawaii is very popular so it becomes harder to find sales as you get closer to the departure date on Hawaii itineraries.
However, what is going to make it difficult for you is the hard dates you’ve set. In your case, you need to shift your departure dates either one day forward or one day back in order to even find a sailing. However if you an add a little more flexibility you may be able to stumble on a terrific deal. Many times, the same itinerary can be several hundred dollars cheaper if you can sail a week earlier or later than you were first looking at.
Call a travel agent that specializes in cruises and they can help you out. I recommend Cruise Planners at 888-286-9827 over an internet site since you’ll be talking to a live person, plus there’s not service charge for dealing with them!

With a world population in excess of six billion people, we are all becoming progressively more aware that food is a scarce resource. Traditionally, people have not regarded food as a resource, but more of a birthright. However, the inhabitants of most Third World countries are required to be more realistic.
We in the West are constantly bombarded by implorations for contributions by charities and I think that many people are getting a bit tired of it. I also think that people are suspicious of the charity workers’ expenses and fees, particularly after the MPs’ expenses scandal in the UK. So, what can you do, if you want to make some sort of contribution?
I think that the best thing one can do is not to squander food. Not squandering or wasting food will reduce the amount you have to buy, which will leave more on the supermarket shelves. This will increase supply, which will reduce prices. Therefore, by not buying so much food, you will be saving money and reducing the cost of what you do purchase. Can not be bad, can it?
So, here are a few of my favourite money-saving tips.
Funnel – I have bought a few funnels in my time, but they always seemed to have fallen to the back of the cupboard when I needed one. I do not buy them anymore. Instead, I cut the top 9″ off the top of a plastic cola bottle. When I am done with it, I throw it away, particularly if I used it for pouring oil.
Microwave – sometimes, when you open the microwave oven door, a hint of the last meal comes out. Instead of spending money on sprays or what-not, put a slice of lemon in a saucer of water and microwave it for three minutes after every time you use it.
Cabbage – cooking cabbage really smells! However, there are three ways of hiding the smell without using air freshener. The first way is to put a slice of lemon in the cabbage water as it cooks. The second way is to boil a small pan of vinegar next to the cooking cabbage and the third is to place a sieve over the boiling cabbage and put a round of stale bread in it. These methods work because the lemon cancels the smell of the cabbage as does the vinegar and the stale bread absorbs the smell.
Fish Fingers – it is not nice to have smelly fingers after preparing fish, onions or garlic. As an alternative to washing and washing your hands, rub a little lemon juice on them and rinse for instant relief.
Sponge – a tablespoon of hot water beaten into a sponge mixture at the last moment will greatly improve the rise and the texture of the cake.

Mardi Gras is a unique time of the year down in Cajun Country. Even if you don’t live around New Orleans you can still rejoice in some of the fun and revelry associated with Mardi Gras by throwing a grand old meal befitting King Rex himself.
The trick about bringing Mardi Gras to the Midwest or wherever you may be, is to always have the mindset that makes Mardi Gras such fun and an enjoyable event for people from all over the world. If that doesn’t work a bowl or two of gumbo topped off with some Mardi Gras music should do the trick quite nicely.
Honestly though, part of the appeal and intrigue of Mardi Gras and the city of New Orleans is the food that has made this city almost as famous as its ability to party. If you are considering what to cook to bring the spirit of Mardi Gras into your home, try any of the traditional favorites. If ingredients prove hard to come by you might want to add a little rice, a little spice, and a lot of hot sauces to your favorite family meal.
Those who live in New Orleans often use rice to stretch the budget. Rice is filling and is cost effective. This makes rice a great basis of a meal for many of the families of New Orleans many of whom have been pretty poor traditionally.
Rice is used in all kinds of dishes from gumbo to red beans and jambalaya and many dishes in between. It is probably the one staple of Cajun cooking that you will find everywhere you go.
Otherwise there are wide variances in cookery according to cost and culture (though the more expensive foods are typically considered Creole rather than Cajun. Sort of a city cousin – country cousin type relationship between the cuisines).
Spices are prevalent in these dishes for much the same reason that rice is. They have traditionally been an inexpensive method of seasoning dishes that would otherwise be quite insipid. Expect to find plenty of spices and some heat in most traditional Cajun dishes all over the city. Some restaurants that cater to tourists have somewhat watered down versions of local favorites.
If you want to eat something with a little less kick, a po-boy or muffaletta might be what you are looking for. These sandwiches are more than a little deceptive in appearance because they are very filling. French fries are still a Cajun favorite, although we also have a popular dish called fried sweet potatoes.
You can find recipes for all of these online quite easily though you will probably have trouble finding the ideal bread for a po boy anywhere outside the Crescent City. There is a unique “chewiness” to the flawless po boy bread that may be copied in other places but not equaled anywhere in the country.
For the perfect finish to your Cajun meal you should make a point of purchasing some chicory coffee. This is easily accomplished via the Cafe du Monde website if your local coffee shop doesn’t have any. Historically, chicory was added to coffee and often used instead of coffee because it was much cheaper.
This meant it could make the more expensive coffee beans go further and yet deliver a similar taste and texture with that hint of chicory. It’s a somewhat unique flavor and for many people is synonymous with the city itself.

There can not be many individuals who do not like their food, but the human race, being what it is, I expect that there are a few of them. However, for the remainder of us, cuisine is a font of daily enjoyment and, like drink, it is frequently used to denote a celebration. not only that, but various foodstuffs are used for the various meals or distinct celebrations.
Commemorative meals were unquestionably considered around the seasonal foodstuffs on hand, but some foodstuffs were transported huge distances for the benefit of those who could afford them. For instance, my Dad thought it a grand luxury to get an orange in his stocking on Christmas Day sixty years past. How the times have altered! Very few kids would deem an orange a gift, special or not, any day of the year nowadays.
Nevertheless, the storage of food is still a daily concern and subsequently, I have written a few good tips on preserving food underneath, so that you will obtain the best from that which you have purchased or grown in your garden even a long while later.
Chicken Stuffed With Spoons: a great way of preparing chicken to be eaten at a cold buffet or in sandwiches, is to put as many spoons as possible into the cavity of the chicken (not silver or plated ones though). Then, place the chicken in a large saucepan or pot and bring the water to the boil slowly. Simmer for 10 minutes, cover and leave until the water is room temperature. The spoons will retain the heat and cook the chicken from the inside out. it will be one of the most succulent chickens you have ever eaten.
Roasted Crisp And Light: if you like crisp-skinned roasties, it is best to parboil them first, but that is only half the story. so, boil the potatoes for five minutes and drain thoroughly. Put the lid on the pan and shake it about violently. Bang it hard on the chopping block several times. The harder the better. Then put the parboiled potatoes in the baking tray with the meat or fowl to cook as you would normally.
Salad Soup: Do not throw away salad that has been soaked in salad dressing. Whisk it up in a food processor with a can of tomatoes of tinned soup. Add lots of garlic to taste and adjust the thickness to suit your taste. Chill it down and you will have one of the most delicious summer soups ever.
Curdling Cure: if your mayonnaise has curdled there is one sure fire way to bring it back to life. stir in a couple of tablespoons of Hellmann’s mayonnaise and your problem will be over.
Simply Scrumptious Topping: a really, quick, delicious and almost infinitely variable topping for a savory pie can be made in seconds. Choose the flavour you want from the crisp rack; puncture the bag to let our the air and then crush the contents in the gag. it really adds something to a pie. The same trick can be used on the bottom of a potato pie a Texan housewife told me.
