Well, here I am finally writing this review, and 3 months ago I was in Venice and our most fabulous trip was coming to an end. I really wanted to write an extensive review with lots of detail, but honestly - I was having such a good time on the trip that I just couldn't be bothered with a journal or writing everything down. Sorry about that, but I hope I can share some good stuff with all of you. This was the BEST trip of my life and I am still dreaming about every minute of it. I am 52 years old, and I honestly do not know why I waited so long to do this...
My good friend Connie and I were on a girl's Panama Canal cruise in 2005 and decided to book a future cruise onboard. Connie said - "Let's go to Europe." This sounded good to me - so when we got home we booked the 9/23/06 Med/Greek Isle cruise on the Golden Princess. Of course, I could not venture to Europe for the first time in my life without taking my DH Rod, so this would not be a "girl's trip".
Our group grew and changed a bit by the time we finally left and there ended up being 8 of us sharing hotels and tours. My husband Rod and I were joined by friends Tom & Kelly and Connie - all from Northern California. Our friend Lori (who we met on a Grand Princess Cruise in 2003) from Canada came along and was Connie's roommate. I met another couple from Southern California on Cruise Critic - Kathy & Jerry, and they joined us too.
