We love to travel as many of you know. We seem to be on an airplane usually once a month to some place near or far. The photo of us in Venice was our first trip abroad. We fell in love with Italy. The food, architectue, art, and history is beyond imagination. When we travel it is the only time Mike ever really relaxes. So in planning our honeymoon we wanted to do something special that would allow him to relax and enjoy himself. For those of you who know Mike, he is never without his cell phone and seldom out of reach of a computer. So we had to chose someplace where he had no access to these. In addition he is in the process of getting his certification for scuba diving and we wanted to go someplace that he would be able to scuba dive.

We chose a cruise because though Italy is fabulous it is not relaxing. We took a cruise several years ago and Mike has never been so relaxed, The added benefit is it has it own casino which of course he loves. Our cruise begins in Fort Lauderdale and travels through the Panama Canal and 14 days (yes two weeks!!!!) later we arrive in San Diego. We are planning on rest, relaxation, gambling, swimming, scuba diving, snorkeling, dancing, eating, drinking, more drinking, and what ever else comes to us.
