After such a successful cruise in 2011, we decided to get the crew back together for round 2. This time, add in Tom and Liz Dowd and a new side of the map!
Our 7 night cruise started in Rome, and made stops in Genoa Italy, Cannes France (where we also took a train to see Nice), Barcelona Spain, Valencia Spain, and Mallorca (of the coast of Spain). Each city held it's own charm and pizazz, and we loved exploring this part of the Mediterranean. Our last day was to be a day at sea, complete with laying by the pool and relaxing on deck. Unfortunately the 15ft swells and 20mph winds closed the pool and kept us all in doors. Good thing we had great company (and a lot of food!) to keep us entertained!
