I’M BACK HOME NOW! THE CRUISE SHIP WAS NEVER ABLE TO GET THEIR INTERNET CONNECTION WORKING PROPERLY, SO I WAS NOT ABLE TO UPDATE THIS BLOG.  THEY DID APOLOGIZE AND REFUNDED THE MONEY I PAID SO THAT’S THE GOOD NEWS.

I JUST SPENT THE LAST 19 HOURS WAITING IN AIRPORTS AND FLYING ON PLANES TO GET BACK TO THE GOOD OLD USA … SO I WILL BE GETTING SOME SLEEP. I HAVE LOTS OF PICTURES AND I WILL POST THEM AS SOON AS I GET SOME REST.

STAY TUNED

It appears I just can’t get enough of cruises. I have been on just about every cruise you can take from the United States and I still want more. I don’t like to go to places I’ve been before so I am now planning a 14 Day cruise to Europe. It will be sometime in April. The cruise starts in Barcelona and goes to Florence, Pisa, Naples, Rome, Croatia, Greece and Sicily before returning to Barcelona. Here is a map of the trip:

On this European cruise, I will be taking the Carnival cruise ship Horizon. It is the newest ship in their fleet and this will be Horizon’s first voyage. (Didn’t the Titanic sink on its first cruise?) Oh well, I will think about that later. Here is a picture:

Here is the itinerary:

At the beginning of the movie Titanic, Rose, played by the lovely Kate Winslet, makes this statement:

“I can still smell the fresh paint. The china had never been used. The sheets had never been slept in. Titanic was called the Ship of Dreams, and it was. It really was.”

I don’t know if the Horizon will be called the Ship of Dreams, but the other stuff is correct. This will be the first cruise for Horizon and I will be part of it. As far as I know, there are no icebergs in the Mediterranean Sea, so I doubt my cruise will end at the bottom of the sea.
