Day 12 - Sea Day and Palo Dinner Sea Day! Woo hoo!! I totally said that in the same voice as the camel that says “Huuuummmp Dayyyy!!” on the commercial. It’s funny because the ports are obviously the highlight of this cruise, but every time a sea...
Day 11 - Mykonos and the Start of a Countdown to Get Back to Mykonos Okay, people. If you think other ports were pretty, you’ll be in love with Mykonos! Seriously, I think I could live there. We slept until 8 today. I went to check on...
Day 10 - Turkey We were going to Turkey today! Stephen’s family actually lived in Turkey before he was born, so my in-laws were extra excited about this stop. We were all (except Dad and Mom now) on a Disney excursion today. We wanted to go...
Day 9 - Athens and the Inside of the Hospital Onboard! We were going to Greece today! Yay! We landed in Piraeus which is the port near Athens. We ate breakfast in Topsiders this morning. Food! Here’s the side we disembark on: And the other side: I went to see Dad...
Day 8 - Introducing The Pneumonia Today was another sea day today! Yay! I love the ports on a Med cruise, but it’s so nice to have some days to do nothing if we wanted. Believe it or not though, I got up at 5:35! 5:35! Goodness gracious. ...
Day 7 - Sea Day Fun Oh my word, after 3 fairly intensive port days, it was soooo nice to sleep in! There was a DVC member’s meeting at 9:00, but I told Stephen to go on without me if I wasn’t up and ready. I wasn’t. He...
Day 6 - Rome, Baby! Today we were on our own again, and taking the train into Rome. I checked on Mom and she wasn’t well yet. We wondered what on earth she had! Well, we would find out soon… Rome was about an hour away and...
Day 5 - La Spezia aka the Road to Pisa or Florence Yay! Another port! We debated for a while what to do in La Spezia. We’d been to Pisa before, but Florence was such a long way. About a two hour train ride each way? ...
Day 4 - The Beauty That is Monaco! Oh my word, I love Monaco. It is stunningly beautiful to me. Today my in-laws and brother-in-law were going on a Disney sightseeing excursion. We docked in Villefranche and were just planning on taking the train to Monte...
Day 3 - Embarkation! Finally, the big day had arrived! Woo hoo!! We didn’t have breakfast included with our rate and there weren’t many options nearby, so we all kind of toughed it out through breakfast. We knew we’d be eating well soon enough. We had some pretzels...
Day 2 - London Layover We were all so excited to be in London that we woke up pretty easily. Chase was picking out all the soccer stadiums as we landed. The customs line was ginormous, but we didn’t care. Once we got through we headed to...
Day 1 - On Our Way! Our flight was leaving at 6 p.m. and we were landing in London around 7 a.m. Our goal was to get a few hours of sleep on the plane although we knew that would be hard. We started out the morning...
Day 0 - Crazy Days Before Departure! So the days leading up to the vacation were crazy hectic as you can imagine. Saturday was Graduation and it was absolutely wonderful. I wasn’t a complete weepy mess, though there were a few tears. My mom on the...
Day 6 - Spoilt and Ruint Today we were all flying home! But we had big plans first! When we decided to go at Thanksgiving, we talked about how busy it would be and that it would be hard to do a lot. I mentioned a VIP...
