Holiday Plans

Moving Day tomorrow.  Reminds me of a book I used to read to my kids called Teddy's Moving Day.  Hopefully all goes well.  We have an early start but I picked up the keys today so at least that is one less job.

I'm just posting my travel plans so that if there are any disasters this side of the world you'll know where I'm supposed to be.  Travel is getting iffy with Syria and Turkey at odds.

Flights are with Gulf Air Abu Dhabi to Rome via Bahrain leaving 11pm July 28th & returning late evening August 8th.  We have a stopover in Bahrain each way for an hour or two.

From  Rome we head to the port to catch our cruise ship.

Royal Caribbean - Navigator of the Seas, departs 7/29/12, 7 nights Day Date Port or Activity Arrive Depart Sun Jul 29 Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy 5:00pm Mon Jul 30 Messina, Sicily, Italy 10:00am 7:00pm Tue Jul 31 At Sea Wed Aug 1 Ephesus / Kusadasi, Turkey 7:00am 6:00pm Thu Aug 2 Athens (Piraeus), Greece 6:00am 6:00pm Fri Aug 3 Crete (Chania), Greece 6:30am 3:00pm Sat Aug 4 At Sea Sun Aug 5 Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy 5:00am

At the end of the cruise we have 3 nights in Rome before flying home.  We will be visiting the Vatican and other attractions.

Side trips booked from the cruise include:
Taste of Sicily, Mt Etna & Taormina.
Highlights of Ephesus, Turkey.
Athens sightseeing and Acropolis.

I'll be offline for a few days until after our trip but will be in touch via Facebook and Skype.

Ciao.
