22 January 2012

Dear Family and Friends ~

We did the "Cruise Docs Dance" on 20 January as our "Silver Box" arrived for the cruise in March. We were not expecting it until February so this was a pleasant surprise!

We have reserved several shore excursions, scheduled a day trip to Pompeii when we are in Naples, and are working the plans for a full day in Athens. It is so exciting... the countdown clock keeps ticking away and before we know it we will be on a plane headed to Barcelona.

For the rest of the time we are just working and passing time until March so there's not much else to report for this update. Check out our Med Cruise page for more information.

Hope all is well with all of you!

Love, Randy and Carey

Mediterranean Cruise

Since our last update we have scheduled some shore excursions at several ports. Updates are included on the Med Cruise pages.

Our next adventure is in March 2012 - Our Dream Vacation. We have hotels reserved now in Barcelona and Istanbul. Silversea changed the itinerary slightly so we are no longer going to Crete. We do have an extra day in Istanbul remaining on board one night so our hotel plans are not affected. We are also looking at tours and planning our daily adventures. We are really looking forward to the trip! Updated pages are posted.

Have a look! Mediterranean Cruise
