Barbara Spohn and Michele Morton have developed a travel business that concentrates on the "interest" segment called Travelling Together. Their trips appeal to those interested in knitting, quilting, needlepoint, embroidery or gardening.
Which hobby would you like to indulge while travelling this year?
Knitting:
Janel at beebonnet report has organized a knitting cruise of Alaska's Inner Passage with two great teachers. Cookie A. from Knitter's Anonymous will help you learn to design your own sock patterns, while Stephanie Gausted will be teaching spinning! Departure is August 25th for the 7 day cruise.
Prefer a different Princess?? Stitch Divas depart on September 8th for a 10 day Inner Passage Cruise with Jennifer Hansen and Tina Whitmore.
Beth Collins, owner of UniqueOne yarn shop in Camden, Maine, will be on board The Isaac Evans again this summer to provide informal knitting or crochet instruction. Because of the popularity of this trip, the September cruise has been expanded to 4 days and a second cruise in June has been added. (hurry there is only berth available).

Blogging:
If all this isn't enough, Deb Richardson decided she wanted to go on a winter cruise and invite as many bloggers as could afford it to come join her! An artsy-bloggy cruise-fest!!
While researching this story, I found a delightful story written by Dominique Gaherty about the Windjammer annual knitting cruise. Makes me want to grab my life preserver and hit the water!
