Overboard?

Seems like with my time away from blogging you might have thought I fell overboard as was lost at sea. Not the case. I just haven't had much enthusiasm for blogging as I've been super busy counting down the days until the end of chemo (which I'm sick of btw). 

Update: The cruise was fine. I'm probably not going to be a future "cruiser" but it was nice for what it was. One thing is for sure, I've seen the future and people - it's OLD! I don't even think my mom at 74 or Kit's parents at 70 are old enough for the crowd on this cruise. Just a LOT of OLD OLD OLD people. 

And a lot of Purell. Turns out the cruise industry is combatting the whole cruise ship sicknesses by squirting the shit out of everyone with Purell at every turn. I think it's working.

We began in Venice and our days were port stops at Korcula (where we stopped last year on our Croatia trip), Heraklion, Crete - not much to see here on this hot rock, then Marmaris, Turkey and Kusadasi, Turkey and then Athens for the finish. We had 3 lovely days in Athens at the end of the trip - while hot, it was breezy and delightful and we had some great meals in open air rooftop restaurants. Lovely! 

Here are a few pics!

So, first things first, we got upgraded to business class - good way to start the journey!

Leaving Venice - beautiful lighting on the way out of the city.

Yes we did! And often!
