Yes you can learn just about anything from Chatbox. And yes, I did ask the all important question of the meaning of life. ChatGPT is the newest technology everyone is talking about, and I wanted in.  I wanted to know what it can do, how can I use it, and why I would use it. Once you start asking questions, it’s a Pandora box. You open a can of worms and start thinking of all the ways you can utilize it. Of course, I wanted it to help me plan my cruise.

I’m booked, got my air, got my shore excursions, and mostly packed. Did I forget anything? Let me ask Chatbox. Whoops, Chatbox told me I forgot my mosquito spray and repellent.

Let me introduce to you ChatGPT and how it can help you plan your next cruise destination and maybe the meaning of life.

Also in news, the Great American Cruise from American Cruise Line. Learn about the themed cruises on the riverboat cruising line, from one end of the coast to the other. Cruise and air will take you across the United States on three rivers starting in Portland Oregon and ending up in New York City. There’s a lot to see right here in the ol’ USA.

Join Dani and friend Rosie as they talk about balancing life/work/family remotely during the pandemic and trying to survive it all. Rosie shares her top 5 packing tips from her numerous business and leisure trips. We talk about travel news, Royal Caribbeans' breakdown on how they deal with positive Covid-19 cases, what happens when you test positive, procedures and how they are trying to keep everyone safe. Breaking news about Venice with large cruise ship bans, entry charges for visitors and new possible ship ports, leads us into ventures to Venice and nearby cities. Rosie shares her experience into solo traveling to Milan and her best luxury finds. For more detailed Venice information and photos from my Venice trip, follow link below to blogspot.
