Today is Tuesday, September 5, 2023. We docked at Sarande, Albania. We could not dock right by shore because the city is small and cannot host cruise ships in port. Thus, we used our lifeboats to ride from the ship to shore (tendered). The weather today is actually humid but not hot because it is

Today is Monday, September 4, 2023. It is not Labor Day where we are. We are visiting Dubrovnik, Croatia, in Europe. I was surprised to see the mountains, blue Adriatic water, rocks islands, and wooded green islands as we prepared to dock. We began our adventure early in the morning, I.e., 8:45. We had a

Today is Saturday, September 2, 2023. This is the day when we were able to speak for a short while with Dave, Alison, Erika, and Johnny by phone. We are loving this trip—and—our family is never even a thought away! We were unable to connect with Scott today despite our attempt. Next time, for sure.

Today is Wednesday, August 30,2023. We docked early in the morning at the port in Souda, Crete. Almost all who elected to go on an off-shore excursion in Chania appeared to have chosen the same tour as John and I. We were divided into smaller groups of about 21 each, with one bus and one

Today is Monday, August 28, 2023. First and foremost, today is Aubrey’s birthday! She is now NINE! I hope that she is celebrated appropriately at school! Because her birthday falls so close to the beginning of the school year, it has happened that her birthday has been inadvertently overlooked. Hopefully, this year will be different
