Thread: I'm a tourist, not a traveller : Article

I thought some of you Cruise Line Fans might find this article amusing and relevant.

'So, you went to Europe,'' she said, emitting a scornful huff. Instantly, I realised this was a competition - and I was about to lose. ''Yeah, well, I just spent four weeks in Bolivia.''

FMI: 'I'm not a tourist, I'm a traveller'

What a fun read! I'm glad I'm a tourist! Much more satisfying.


I'll risk being banned!

Going on a cruise, for example, is a sure-fire way of getting yourself banned from every suburb serviced by the number 86 tram. You're a pleasure-seeking conformist. Shame on you.

LOVE THIS ONE, TIM!

Believe it or not (you probably will ) I almost did a Tourist/Traveler Poll on this very subject!

For sure .... I'm a tourist!

I like to go on cruise ships. Never again wish to sail on a private yacht (even a really nice one) for more than a couple of days.

I like to take organized shore excursions!

I like having things to do WITH OTHERS around whenever I wish!

When taking land trips, I like to go to a resort or to someplace with friends. Even the most beautiful of secluded places become boring after a couple of days.

Kills me when someone thinks because he went out in a port on his own, took a small group trip to some far away place, or sailed on a "luxury cruise line"... he's a traveler.

I never kid myself! I'm a tourist, not a traveler!
