My sales brain is operating in 2011. The big ship brochures and e-mails have me leaving 2010 behind.

I have to remember, 2010 is still with us, and  there is still lots of opportunity for domestic cruises on the small ships. Look at Columbia Snake River as an opportunity. Guess what, no big ship can sail on the Columbia Snake River, it has to be a small ship.  There are now five small ship operators doing the Columbia Snake River in fall and two during summer. Starting in August there is a paddlewheler on the Columbia Snake River. No discounting, no big ship competition, Costco doesn't sell it. Educate yourself on Lewis and Clark, the Washington Wine Region, waterfalls, volcanoes,  and the rivers themselves. It is fun, relaxing, educational, and can provide a good introduction to the small ship product. And the best, you don't have to have a passport or fly half way around the world.
