I’d like to welcome my first guest blogger, my husband of over 23 years, Jeff Boyle. Each Monday Jeff will bring a new article that should make you smile as well as be of practical help. His first series is about outdoor family travel. Enjoy! -Amy
*Disclosure: I paid my own way to sail on the inaugural cruise July 2017 and while onboard I worked with Chico’s, Holland America, and Oprah Magazine . All blog post opinions are my own. #OMAGONHAL #OMAGINSIDERS #AD
It’s January and in Chicago this week that means single digit temperatures. BRRR. A perennial favorite activity of mine is planning vacations and right now is a wonderful time to plan another Holland America and Oprah Magazine cruise.

I took my first cruise in July on the inaugural #OMAGonHAL journey to Alaska. It was incredible to share the adventure with my fellow passengers. Being a photographer, I was like a kid in a candy store with the Alaskan grandeur at every vista. The ship was the perfect size. The accommodations, dining and entertainment were incredible. The icing on the cake of this particular cruise for me was of course seeing Oprah, Gayle King, Adam Glassman, as well as experiencing all of the OMag programming!
