Welcome

Welcome to our European Adventure!   Bill and I are so excited, and blessed, to be able to take this fabulous vacation!!   This will be Bill's first trip to Europe, and for those of you who know him well, you know how much he loves history.  To be going places where the history goes back centuries is mind boggling for him.    I was in Italy when I was 16...but remember what 16 was like...all I was looking at were the Italian guys!  Oh, and when I saw the statue of David in Florence, you can bet I wasn't just admiring his beauty!!   Now that I'm older...and more mature!....I, too, can appreciate the history of these wonderful lands that we will be touring.


Our trip will start in London.  Since we couldn't get a direct flight to Venice from Orlando and were required to switch planes in London, we figured...what the heck...we'll stop and spend two nights in town sightseeing.  



Then it is on to spend 3 nights in Venice before we board the Ruby Princess for our 19-day Mediterranean TransAtlantic cruise.


This will be the cruise of a lifetime...starting in Venice and then going to Naples, Rome, Pisa/Florence, Cannes-France, Barcelona, Casablanca, the Azores and then 6 days across the Atlantic ending in Fort Lauderdale!!  We will be celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary on this cruise and are looking forward to every minute.
