Finally "The Cruise"


Hi! Sorry this is taking so long to get up. We had an amazing time on our 7 day cruise of the mediterranean. We saw a bit of Barcelona, the island of Malta, 3 stops in Italy (Pompeii, Rome, Pisa) and a day tour to the beautiful south of France (Nice and Eze).

We woke up early early on Sunday morning and finished the last minute packing of our apartment since we were not only going on a cruise but moving back home. I drug our super heavy luggage, bags, carseats, strollers, babies, bricks, anvils, and kitchen sinks down to the first floor and we waiting in the cold darkness for our cab that never showed up. Jessi finally worked some secret phone mojo and managed to find our lost taxi a few miles away in the wrong area of town. There had been a mixup on the address and he hadn't received our cell phone number. We were a bit scared we were going to miss our flight, cruise, and possibly have to enroll Ryan in Oxford instead of Harvard.

Our flight was uneventful and we were excited about the days events. Once we landed in Barcelona we found the Norweigan Cruise Line attendants who took care of all of our luggage and placed us on a bus heading towards our ship.



Once we got on board we went to our room to figure out how our luggage, which was to be delivered later that evening, was all going to fit into our little cabin. Amazingly the room was really big! And it had a Balcony and a full sized bathtub (very nice for bathing Ryan). The bed was actually bigger than the one in our apartment so it was a luxury too.



After that we gorged ourselves on the buffet for 6 more days and finally came home. The End
Hehe just kidding. More to come!
