The trip was awesome, and badly needed by both of us.
The move coupled with the hurricane and everything else that we have been dealing with built up a lot of stress.
Not supposed to have more stress when you retire!!!
So, this little trip helped us to chill away from things for a bit.
We booked next year's cruise while aboard the ship.
Next November we will fly to Rome, Italy.
We will spend 3-4 days there sightseeing, and then board a ship for a 15-day cruise back to Lauderdale here in Florida.
The first 8 days are around the Mediterranean stopping in Spain, France, Italy, Gilbralter, and Portugal.
Then 7 days at sea cruising to Lauderdale.
These "transition" cruises, where they relocate a ship, are about 2/3 the cost of the same length cruise elsewhere.
Of course, they have less ports they visit.
Should be fun.
