16 Janvier 2016, 16:00 CST, south of Houston Today has been another wonderful day at sea. We are about to run into a rain storm, with high winds. That makes me a bit nervous, as the thunder begins to roll across the top of the boat, but I'm sure this boat has been through worse. …

A Sister of Another Mother
July 31, 2014, 15:52, in the Med headed toward Barcelona No land in sight. Only one mid-sized cargo ship follows us on this journey today. I don't know if there are just no other cruise ships or if we have ventured off on another direction, far away from the pack. I am not clear on …
A Day At Sea
July 31, 2014, 10:54, In the Med Between Tunisia and Barcelona Today marks our real last day on the boat. We have been off of work for nearly two weeks when we return to the States, and I have truly enjoyed this time away. Away from the things of man, at least American man. The …
Pompeii
July 28, 2014, Pompeii I'm actually writing this entry the day after we visited Pompeii because I might have had a bit too much wine last night to write about that adventure. Plus I was starving when we got back to the boat yesterday. Upon the advice of a former traveler and the tour book, …
Sicilian Jellyfish Are My New BFFs
July 29, 2014, 14:32, Messina, Sicily Today was yet another gorgeous day on the Mediterranean. It is amazing that the weather, so far, has been perfect. Last week before we left, the forecast was calling for rain several days on our voyage. But, other than a small shower in Barcelona before we left on Friday …
Genoa Journeys
July 27, 2014, 20:32, off the coast of Italy Today was simply spectacular. Genoa is an amazing city with classical architecture, narrow winding streets, wonderful people, and great food. We experienced it all. We started the day boarding an on off your bus. It cost 30 Euros for the both of us, and we were …
Waking Up In Italy
July 27, 2014, 08:09, Genoa, Italy This morning a wonderful sight greeted me. The sight of true old world Europe. The coastline of Genoa, Italy. It is what you read about in books, see on television and in movies, and hear about from friends who have made the journey. The old buildings stand out from …
Coastal Cruising
July 26, 2014, 21:19, Marseille, France (or there about) We set sail this afternoon from France after a day of sand, sea, and fun. We sat outside for the sail away, which is thankfully much less of a party on this ship as compared to others. So far, I am an MSC fan. Did I …
Marseille in One Day
July 26, 2014, 15:14, Marseille, France Don't Stop Believing. That song has led me through some very very rough times in my life. Long ago, weeks ago, even days ago. It has made me keep on going, even when I didn't want to. When I wanted to give up. When I wanted to throw in …
The MSC Splendida
Friday, July 25, 2014, 13:25 Barcelona We are aboard! As is typical, we arrived at the port early. Boarding time was posted as 14:00, but we usually just sort of nicely ignore that and show up early. Either one of two things happens. We either are able to get on the ship early, which happens …
