I appreciate all the comments left the last several weeks on my different blog postings. We just returned home from a long cruise with limited internet access. ( My phone was never turned on...withdrawals here but I did it...haha) I didn't want to post I was leaving for a long cruise.
We left on Oct. 4 and returned home Nov. 16...exhausted but having an awesome time. We flew to Rome, toured and caught Koningsdam Holland American Cruise Liner. We did many ports-a-call in Italy, Greece, Croatia, Crete, Malta, Turkey, Montenegro, Sicily, Spain and Portugal. We then did a transatlantic cruise back to Ft. Lauderdale, rented a car and drove home. I saved for a long time for these cruises. Weather was great. I won't bore you with 1000's of pics. Here are just a few.
As of this evening and tomorrow, I will catching up on many blogs I follow. Again, thank you for all the comments left regarding my cards. I worked very hard to create and pre-post before we left for the cruise.
