Mediterranean & Greek Isle Cruise

The advertisement read: "Rekindle the passion of life with a Mediterranean cruise. Be swept away by the romance of Venice...be inspired by what once was in Athens...discover the history and culture of these cities that grace the coastline of the Mediterranean Sea," but what caught our attention and was most appealing to us was the fact that it was WARM there! After a whole 14 days of summer here in Holland, we Texans needed some sunshine and warm weather!

Steve Martin's character, Neal Page, in Planes, Trains & Automobiles has nothing on us! During our 2+ weeks of travel, we rode planes, trains, taxis, trams, a cruise liner, ferries, a water taxi, subway, buses, a couple of mini vans and even paid to ride an elevator to the top of a mountain!
