So, Chris and I leave tomorrow morning for our 12 day cruise, and I am so excited that I can barely stand it!! A friend (a very, very sweet and wonderful friend) is picking us up at 5 in the morning and taking us to the airport. Our first stop is Barcelona, Spain where we'll board the ship and head to Italy. I am almost overwhelmed at the fact that we're actually going to be in Italy in 2 days. So fun!! Traveling there has been a dream of mine since I was a little girl, and being able to actually go now with Chris is just almost unbelievable!! We've already picked all of our "excursions" (did I mention that I am a little obsessive about planning things??), and I'm most looking forward to our Wine Tasting Adventure in Tuscany. I think Chris is most looking forward to climbing Mt. Vesuvius...funny how our tastes are just a little bit different :) Our next stop is Athens, Greece. (I'll let y'all know how that goes since I've heard a rumor about a few tiny fires somewhere in that vicinity!) Then it's on to Dubrovnik, Croatia where we'll be visiting a coastal yachting village. Then we head to Izmar & Istanbul, Turkey. We've heard such wonderful things about Turkey that we decided to stay an extra 2 days there at the end of our trip! I think Istanbul is going to be just amazing. I can't wait to go to the Beylerbeyi Palace, the Grand Bazaar and the Spice Market!! It is going to be such a fantastic experience, something that we never even imagined that we would be doing! We'll be sure to take plenty of pictures and we'll let y'all know how it was when we return :)
Istanbul or Bust!!!
