Before the Start

We are doing last minute preps for our cruise. Oh, you didn't know about our cruise?? Well that means you weren't listening to me or Melodee tell you all about it over and over for the last 3 months!!

So, in case you don't know here are the highlights.
Terry, Kathie, Melodee and Jeff will be on a 22 day Mediterranean / Baltic Sea cruise.
We start from New York City. Melodee and Jeff get there on Saturday, May 3rd. Terry and Kathie get there on Sunday May 4th.
We leave for Rome on a "red-eye" flight from JFK on Monday night.
We get 2 days in Rome before we embark on the cruise staring May 7.
We return to JFK June 2.

I (Jeff) intend to keep the blog up to date roughly every day with pictures and comments. We'll see how well the shipboard internet works for us.

My pre-trip prediction for the high point of the vacation is the Marinski Theatre in St. Petersburg where we will see the ballet.

Of course, like most vacations, there will be something that will be fantastic and we didn't expect it.

Feel free to make comments as we post to the blog.
