Greetings LGBT Travelers!
While the cold winds blow and the snow and rain come down, the best way to stay warm is to sail away – on a cruise! Cruises are a reliable vacation choice – the combination of days at sea and port excursions provide travelers with relaxation and adventure. Not to mention the opportunity to make new friends! So pack your SPF because we’re going to heat things up – because life is a vacation! -Zachary Mikles, Managing Editor

EDITOR'S TRAVEL TIPS
Prone to sea-sickness? There are several medications to try, including Bonine, which work well but do tend to make people drowsy. Instead, try a wristband – they work wonders for many and have no side effects. Additionally, it can be used more than once which is a real bonus. |

Astrolabe - definition from Wikipedia
The astrolabe is a historical astronomical instrument used by classical astronomers, navigators, and astrologers. Its many uses included locating and predicting the positions of the Sun, Moon, planets and stars; determining local time given local longitude and vice-versa; surveying; and triangulation. In the Islamic world, they are and were used primarily for astronomical studies, though astrology was often involved there as well. Astrologers of the European nations used astrolabes to construct horoscopes.
