Be sure to check out the just added Panama Canal Cruise, March 2nd through March 17th, 2019. This ocean-to-ocean cruise onboard the Coral Princess leaves from Ft. Lauderdale, transits the Panama Canal, and disembarks in Los Angeles, visiting 7 ports.

If you like the strip in Las Vegas, you'll LOVE the strip in Branson!
|
|
Whether you'd like to take in a show, like Samson, Acrobats of China, The Haygoods or an awe-filled experience created by Legends in Concert, Branson has something for everybody, such as magicians, rock 'n' roll, country, family harmonies, comedy, variety, dinner shows, gospel and well known performers that play limited engagements.
Branson has wonderful museums and attractions. You can take your family to play miniature golf, go horseback riding, enjoy go-carts, water parks and history museums, take a lake cruise - or even rent a Segway!
You can stay in your choice of accommodations, Branson has cabins, bed and breakfasts, motels, 5-star hotels, condos and camping. You can relax on a property snuggled in the beautiful Ozarks.
We really enjoy the shopping in Branson, as do so many visitors! There are unique areas that have Ozark-flavored shops, and even outlets where you can find bargains. The historic downtown shopping is awesome - be sure to visit the new shopping area, Branson Landing, on the waterfront.
The three lakes in Branson are breathtaking! There is world class fishing, or you can go kayaking, parasailing, hiking, sightseeing, zip-lining, explore the caves... there are so many options!

The Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) carry-on rules can be confusing and do sometimes change. And sometimes it seems weird that you can bring things in your carry-on baggage right on to the plane (like dry ice – you can bring that in your carry-on!).
You can also put deodorant in your carry-on!
Stick deodorants of any size are allowed
. If you have spray, gel, liquid, cream, pastes or roll-on deodorants, they have to follow the 3.4 ounce rule (so they have to be 3.4 ounces or smaller) and travel in a clear quart-sized bag.
Electric and disposable razors, yes. Straight and safety razors, no.
You would think it’s obvious that
straight and safety razors aren’t allowed in carry-on baggage
, especially since straight and safety razors are becoming more popular. The blade must be packed into checked luggage, but the handle part can be in your carry-on. Disposable razors and their replacement cartridges can be in a carry-on, as well as electric razors.
Carry-on e-cigarettes – don’t pack them in checked luggage.
That’s if the e-cig has a lithium battery, which most do
. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) doesn’t allow lithium batteries in the cargo area of planes because of their potential to overheat and start a fire. And, it may be obvious, but e-cigs cannot be smoked on the plane.
There are kind of a lot of rules about batteries.
Basically, dry cell alkaline and rechargeable batteries along with lithium batteries should be packed in your carry-on and not in your checked baggage. TSA recommends packing all types of batteries in carry-on luggage whenever possible. And there are some types of batteries that are prohibited unless they’re being used to power a scooter or wheelchair. If you have any doubts which batteries are okay, check out
TSA's Battery Tips
