Join us for seven fun-filled days in the Western Caribbean, November 8-15, 2009, as Sweet takes over the entire Norwegian Spirit.

Our journey starts in New Orleans, where we’ll light up Bourbon Street with a huge party to launch our first cruise the night before we leave. Additionally, we’ll offer a three-day pre-package that offers guests the opportunity to pitch in with the Katrina relief effort by day and enjoy New Orleans’ legendary clubs by night.

This morning, I woke up waaaaaaaay too early to be a guest on David Clemmons’ podcast about voluntourism. David does inspiring work all over the globe.

We were joined by Ed Salvato of Out Traveler and John Polly from MTV / LOGO for our crack of dawn chat. Please enjoy our conversation about the lesbian and gay community’s role in voluntourism. Be warned, I’m not a morning person.
