Cruise Line Returning to Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta

Princess Cruises, which stopped its cruises to Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta in the beginning of this year, has made the decision to reinstate its stops in those port cities in 2012. This is great news as those cities were perfectly safe to begin with. The VP of public relations at Princess Cruises, Julie Benson, stated, "We put back Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta on our schedule for the fall 2012-spring 2013 schedule as we would very much like to return to these ports, which have long been a part of our Mexico cruises."

Snapshot of Today's Baby Boomers

U.S. Census data reveals that even today, a large segment of the U.S. population is comprised of baby boomers -- and their numbers are predicted to dominate population data in the years to come. For example, in 2030, Census data indicates that 57,793,195 U.S. citizens will be part of the boomer demographic. As I've blogged about before, baby boomers are staying active, later in life, with a high percentage of boomers still working. For instance, as per 2006 numbers, the percentage of those unemployed baby boomers was at a surprisingly low 3.3 percent and those employed had reached 74.1 percent. Out of the surveyed, only 22.4 percent reported being out of the labor force. Click here to read more on the seniors for living website.
