🌴On Land it's South Africa and America. Our stopovers are on Disney’s Private Island – 1000 acres of reimagined paradise in the Bahamas. This stunning 1,000-acre escape in the Bahamas is a must-visit Disney Cruise Line destination. If you've ever wondered, "When is the remake better than the original?"—this place is the answer. Tap above and below to watch the videos! It’s not about staged authenticity like Papette, Tahiti or Aloha Fridays in Hawaii. This is the best of the best—an I for an Island.

You would I suppose start out by fulfilling all your wishes- love affairs, banquets, wonderful journeys, music beyond belief...and after you've done that for sometime, you'd forget that you were dreaming.".

The secret of living your dream instead of your backup plan is-Starting! I Have Had All The Disadvantages Required For a Successful  start on the Hero's Journey, no money, no time, no opportunities. ONLY Acting AS IF.. DESERVING enormous outcomes is mostly the result of a series of small steps that magically make the invisible visable- that's the science of achievement.  Mine was " I want to travel around ...
