Bon Voyage!

Good morning everyone! How are you this brisk morning? It is a balmy 8 degrees where I am this morning. It's supposed to get up to 40 degrees today...heat wave!

Well, let me get right to the point today...

Mom and Dad, are you sitting down? Nathan and I are (Lord willing) celebrating our 20th Wedding Anniversary this April. Nathan's and my honeymoon was a little less than 24 hours. He has booked us a Mediterranean cruise over our anniversary! It is a twelve day cruise! Now here's where I need your participation...

I have several people reading my blog who are from some of the countries that we will be making our ports of call in. I am looking for any pointers for things to do, things to see, and what and where to eat. Here are the places we will be stopping in:

Barcelona, Spain
Palma de Mallorca, Spain
Marseilles, France
Oliba (Sardinia), Italy
Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Italy
Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy
Naples, Italy
Messina (Sicily), Italy
Dubrovnik, Croatia
Venice, Italy

These are all the ports of call. We plan on flying into Barcelona a day or two before the cruise starts and staying in Venice a day or two after the cruise, so any suggestions what to do while we're there would be greatly appreciated!

I am soooo excited! Nathan is pretty excited too! He is a scuba diver. Anyone have any recommendations where there is good diving around our ports of calls?

Thanks for your input. Please, please, please, leave me some feed back! I would like this to be a memorable trip!

Well, I need to get my boys up and around to start their chores. I look forward to hearing from you all! Have a great day. God bless you!
