As a child and young adult it was my dream to visit the places of ancient history I had read about and read about again.
We thought about visiting the Mediterranean for our honeymoon but January was not the best time of year to go and so it got put off.
Years and years went by and for the last few years I joked that we would finally get there for our silver wedding anniversary.
And here we finally are making it a reality.
On Sunday we fly with Emirates to Barcelona via Sydney and Dubai ( a massive 28 hour journey) .
After a few days in Barcelona we will embark the Island Princess and set sail for the following ports:
Toulon, Livorno, Civitaveccia, Naples, Mykonos, Istanbul, Kusadasi, Athens and Venice.
From Venice we will take a train to Florence, and then after a few days another train to Reggio Emilia where we will be hosted by Smeg.
After travelling to Milan we will fly out to meet up with an online friend from my Digital Scrapbooking days , in Dubai.
I have never been to any of these destinations, and it still seems like a bit of a dream that we are finally going.
Internet willing I will make postings here as reguarly as I can throughout the journey.
