My sister is in an aft. She's already trying to figure out how to get some carpets back to Canada!!
I can hardly wait to get to Amsterdam.
Rome, Nice,Pisa,Seville, Barcelona, Morroco,Lisbon, Gibraltor, LaHarve,Rotterdam,Cannes,Vigo,Southampton,Brugges
Flights will be direct, so that will be good. We aren't doing a pre or post
I'm looking at that itinerary in the 2007 brochure. That should be an awesome trip.

But will I have any hips left??? One way to lose weight!
I'm going to cave and get the old lady shoes for walking
I'm nervous about NOT doing one night precruise. The TA is confident that we are not going to have an issue making the ship. But will my luggage?? It's Rome for crying out loud, and I don't think my luggage knows hand language    :lost:  Hey, I think these smilies were invented by an Italian....

Sheila, I just could not go without having a buffer day. Anything can happen with the flight and so on. Piece of mind is worth getting there at least a day ahead of time.

It's on Louis Cruise Lines, so I'm not expecting much from the ship. It's a ride between the islands. The cruise is a 4-nighter from Piraeus, stopping in Mykonos, Kusadasi, Patmos, Rhodes, Crete, & Santorini. We're doing about a 10-day escorted tour on the Greek mainland before the cruise.

I've never heard of that line, Rich. I'm assuming it is a local line? Sounds like a great itinerary!

They pretty much do just the Greek islands. Their ships are all very small, but when we're hitting 2 islands a day, I only care that the ship is clean. The cruise is part of a tour with Cosmos.

83 days until DW and I take our 2 DDs (13 & 10) on their first cruise! 8 days on a Spirit class ship to Acapulco, Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo, and Manzanillo. And the best part is 4 days at sea!!! Mexico is convenient for us Californians.

The water is not the beautiful turquoise that you experience in the Caribbean, nor are the beaches as fine/powdery. We still LOVE Mexico, its people, its food, its beer (ah Coronas), and tequila/margaritas!!! There are a lot of fun things to do in port and the area is beautiful. The water on the West Coast is more of a dark blue and NOTHING beats a sunset off the West Coast!!!

The Monarch will be my first RC cruise, but it is not until my birthday weekend in March. November is on the Carnival Spirit.
