Just quickly: a great Thanksgiving Day website with lots of ideas for those who want to try something a little different this year.

And now for something completely different.

I don't know about where you are, but where I am, it's cold. And, though I have never even considered it before, a cruise seems like it could be a good idea.

According to USA Today, this cruise season is going to be a busy one. After shying away from the Caribbean due to damages from the 2005 hurricanes, Florida based ships will be back to their typical number of routes this year.

If you have an inkling to catch one of these floating vacation destinations, or if you just want to dream about doing so, there's plenty of information out there. Annie over at Cruises101 does a good job covering the ins and outs of the cruise industry, as does CruiseGuide. There are also innumerable sites that claim the cheapest deals.

Finally, some visuals to go along with your tropical cruise fantasy



Happy Thanksgiving US.
