Two more sea days
down…tomorrow we go home…yeah!!!
For those who have been wondering...Hurricane Sandy hasn't been too tough on us. Weather yesterday was gray, foggy and very windy. Last night, the ship was really rocking and rolling! Today dawned sunny and bright, but still exceptionally windy and some decent wave action.
It has been a
wonderful vacation…a bucket list of beautiful places…London, Venice, Pompeii, Sorrento,
Positano, Rome, Pisa, Florence, Cannes, Nice, Eze, Monte Carlo, Barcelona,
Casablanca, Rabat and Madeira…Whew!!!
What wonderful memories we have made in these fabulous places!! And so many pictures to view…I truly feel
sorry for our friends and family!
And we have met some
of the nicest people…and made some wonderful new friends…Charlie & Maryann
from Bradenton, FL…Lynne & Jim from Ocala, FL…Lisa & Jim from The
Villages and Helgo and Nancy from Las Vegas.
We have had some great times with these people and look forward to
seeing them back in Florida and on future cruises.
Bill and I are so
grateful to be healthy enough and to have had the time and money to be able to
do this trip. Thanks to Kean University
for keeping me employed…it’s the funds from my assessment work that made this
trip possible. So, next time I complain
about it…I will need to remember that without it, we couldn’t do trips like
this! And a big thanks to Lynda and John
back in The Villages who drove us to the airport so we could start this great
trip and then took care of our fishies and looked after the house…it certainly
gave us the peace of mind to be away this long.
And thanks to all our family and friends who wished us well on our big
adventure, who provided all types of tips and hints and took the time out of
their busy lives to read our blog. I
hope you enjoyed it.
So…the inevitable
question…which place was our favorite?
For me, I would have to say it was Eze, France…I just loved the charm
and the fairy tale aura of the place.
But there are definitely other places I want to return to in order to
explore: The Amalfi Coast in Italy to
see more of this Tuscan wonderland, London and Barcelona…there is so much to
see there and we barely scraped the surface.
For Bill it was Rome and the Vatican…so much history…and London…and Venice…and
Pompeii. I think we need to do the
whole trip over again!!!! But not yet…now
we just want to go back to our favorite place in the whole world…our home J
