Cruising to Your Dream Vacation
One of the most inexpensive ways to travel today is on a cruise ship. Despite all the recent headlines about cruise ships, it is still a wonderful experience and a way to re-energize yourself depending on the type of cruise and destination.
My last cruise was to the Mediterranean, where we visited Greece, Italy, France & Spain and I must say that there were not any downsides to this trip. Every time I look back through my photographs; I remember how breathtaking the scenery was at those special places we visited throughout those countries.
Our trip began with flying into Athens where we stayed a full day and visited all the famous sites before getting aboard the cruise ship that took us on a journey through the Mediterranean we will never forget. The cruise took 9 days where we made stops at places like Santorini, Taromina, Pompeii, Rome, Amalfi Coast, Cannes and Barcelona.
We stayed for an extra day in Barcelona to experience the city and countryside before returning home and realizing that this truly was a trip of a lifetime. Janet and I often see or read references to several of these places we visited and still can’t believe we were there, on that very same spot. We now have a common bond with those who have traveled there before and get a wonderful feeling when we talk
about our trip.
If one of your dreams is to travel to places such as these, don’t wait, plan it now and make it happen. You never know what life will bring and if you’ll ever have the opportunity later on to do it. Don’t look back years from now and wish you had. Seeing these places on TV or in a movie is one thing, but until you have stood on the hilltop of Santorini or the gates to the Coliseum in Rome, you’ll never truly experience the feeling I’m talking about.
Don’t say it can’t be done. Keep your dream alive!
