World Traventures: July 2010
http://worldtraventures.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 10, 2010. I thought that I would lay out some of the planning and thoughts that have gone into our upcoming cruise to the Eastern Mediterranean. This will be our 10th cruise overall and first to sail on Holland America. As I write this, the Nieuw Amsterdam has just completed her maiden voyage and so will only be about three months old when we arrive to set sail. (Read John Heald's blog from the inaugural cruise here. Will they still be working out the bugs seen so many times on a new ship?

World Traventures: Day 5 –Athens, Greece
http://worldtraventures.blogspot.com/2010/09/day-5-athens-greece.html
Wednesday, September 29, 2010. Day 5 –Athens, Greece. After meeting back up with Dimitrius, we headed back to the ship and said our goodbyes. All aboard was set for 4:30 and we stepped onto the ship right at that time. What a fantastic day and again, I cannot say enough of the wonderful job that Dimitrius did in showing us his magnificent city. Another great day in the books and on our way to Istanbul. We are set to arrive in port at 4:00 pm tomorrow. Posted by World Traventurer. Check these out too!

World Traventures: October 2010
http://worldtraventures.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 5, 2010. Day 11 – Katakolon (Olympia), Greece. Our first order of the day in Katakolon was to find the rental car agency that we had booked our car for the day with, which turned out to be very close to the ship’s docking point. We quickly filled out the required paperwork and were ushered to our awaiting chariot, the highly sought after yellow Fiat Panda! More importantly, who pays money to cram four people into a vehicle clearly intended for a single anorexic dwarf? 8221; “Sir! 8221; C...

World Traventures: Day 7 – Istanbul, Turkey
http://worldtraventures.blogspot.com/2010/09/day-7-istanbul-turkey.html
Thursday, September 30, 2010. Day 7 – Istanbul, Turkey. Well, it is a special elixir of saltwater and yogurt and was as delicious as it sounds. I hated to be rude by insulting her country’s cuisine, but suffice to say that I will not be hunting down my local Turkish grocer when we get back home to load up on Aryan. Saltwater and yogurt? Melauna had the King Salmon which she claimed was the best that she ever had, and she is somewhat of a salmon connoisseur. I had the “Land and Sea” lobste...After dinner,...

World Traventures: Day 8 – Mykonos, Greece
http://worldtraventures.blogspot.com/2010/10/day-8-mykonos-greece.html
Sunday, October 3, 2010. Day 8 – Mykonos, Greece. After finishing up our shopping, we took the tender back to the ship and as it was getting pretty late in the evening, we called it a night. No shows, no casino, no bingo. We all had a great day and hated to see Mykonos fading in our wake, but tomorrow was going to be an early start in Ephesus, Turkey and so we said our goodnights.

World Traventures: Day 6 – At Sea and Istanbul, Turkey
http://worldtraventures.blogspot.com/2010/09/day-6-at-sea-and-istanbul-turkey.html
Wednesday, September 29, 2010. Day 6 – At Sea and Istanbul, Turkey. After a traffic laden trek back from the Grand Bazaar, Yasar had us to the ship and then didn’t want to accept any payment for the ride…What? I had read that the Turks were very kind and friendly people but come on! Yasar was paid well and received my heartfelt thanks for his efforts and keeping his word. Posted by World Traventurer.

World Traventures: Day 10 – Santorini, Greece
http://worldtraventures.blogspot.com/2010/10/day-10-santorini-greece.html
Tuesday, October 5, 2010. Day 10 – Santorini, Greece. After going to the Queen’s Lounge to receive our tender ticket, we had about a 30 minute wait before our number was called and we proceeded to Deck A to meet our tender. As we stood in line, mom started bouncing like a little girl saying “I can’t wait! I can’t wait! Posted by World Traventurer. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Check these out too!
