A Fourteen day trans-atlantic Princess cruise was on the menu, now that a land vacation seemed out of the question because of Covid concerns and different international procedures. Beyond a 5 days Bahama’s cruise on Carnival in 2016, we had not done much cruising except for some Caribbean Tallship Trips when Windjammer Barefoot Charters operated …

I thought our next stop was to be Zurich, Switzerland and high tail it out of Italy forever but I thought wrong. </br> Enjoyed a good breakfast, grabbed a taxi to the bus station and then the following scenario began which I posted publicly on Facebook because people need to be made aware of this …

Packed and not really ready to go, but time to go and leave Venice behind. Travel Hint: If you are staying anywhere in the center of town, I suggest calling for a porter to retrieve your luggage and meet you at the people mover. Cost Euro 20.00, but saves your back and offers a relaxing …

If you notice me not writing on some dates, those are just travel days. Not particularly eventful to note. Jump on bus, jump off bus for snack, jump on bus, occasionally wish the driver would slow down, speed up, stop talking non-stop, be a little friendlier, have more leg room, wish other riders take more …
