Next trip is almost planned

So, my friend Sara is putting together a cruise for a group of us (5 in total). I am really excited about the cruise. I will get to see Venice again, which I loved. We are setting off on a cruise to Croatia, Turkey and Greece before returning to Venice. I am really excited about the trip, spending it with friends, and enjoying the ride.

When you cruise to the "Cradle of Civilization," there's a natural tendency to be more, well, civilized - more relaxed. It's just a totally different feeling. The sun is warmer and so are the smiles. The colors more vibrant, the cuisine a little livelier. Mediterranean people know the secret of living life to the fullest. Best part is, they're willing to share.

I decided to take the week before the 7 day cruise for a trip of my own. So, i am flying into Prague, Czech Republic on June 1 (I leave home on May 30th of course). I will then hope to go to Budapest, Hungary and Vienna, Austria before going to Venice, Italy to head off on the cruise. I will leave the morning after we get back in (June 14th I fly home).

I haven't quite worked out the timing on my first week yet, but I will soon.
