We got up at 6:00 am and got ready to leave Europe to go back home. Breakfast was served in a breakfast room and courtyard of the hotel. It was a nice European style breakfast. We then lugged our bags down the street, over the bridge and up the street to the Pizzale Roma where we met our driver to take us to the airport. After about a 30 minute drive we arrived at the airport, checked in and made it through security. The first leg of our flight was to Atlanta ...

Debarkation went very smoothly today. We simply walked off the ship, picked up our bags and walked out of the terminal. The walk to the People Mover wasn’t too bad and neither was the walk from the People Mover to the hotel. After we checked in and left our bags, we walked around for a while before heading back to the hotel to catch a water taxi to Murano Island. We wanted to walk around that island for a little while this morning. We ended up spending a...

Today we arrived in Venice. At about 6:30 we were scheduled to begin sailing down the Bacino de San Marco and then the Giudecca Canal and then on to the cruise terminal. Nikki and I were up and it was really cool to see. Around 6:45 we passed San Marco Square and we were lucky enough to see it right outside our verandah. We met the girls at Cabana's at 8:15 and had breakfast before meeting in the D-Lounge for our last shore excursion this trip. We boarded a wa...

Because today was a day at sea, we didn't make plans to meet early. Nikki and I got up and were at breakfast at Cabana’s around 8:30. We ate slowly and then met the girls for trivia at 10:15, then another at 11:00. Kelsie wanted to eat lunch in Lumiere’s so we went there when they opened at 12:30. They have a great hamburger so three out of the four of us had that. After lunch Regan, Kelsie and I went to watch Frozen Sing Along and Nikki went to...

We had enough time this morning to eat breakfast in Lumiere's before heading out to the walled city of Dubrovnik Croatia. We met in Fathoms before heading out to the bus. We took a short 15 minute ride to an overlook point where we could see the walled city with its red tiled roof buildings. Dubrovnik is the oldest walled city on earth. In the Middle Ages, Dubrovnik was known as the Republic of Ragusa and was as important as a seaport as Amalfi, Pisa, Geno...
