Rome – Transatlantic 2009 Day 6 – Last Full Day In Rome

Yesterday was our last full day in Rome on this wonderful vacation. This morning we will be boarding the Celebrity Solstice for our Transatlantic cruise back to the US. We decided to scale back our ambitious site seeing yesterday and take in a few of the larger piazzas. We got a slow start on the […]

Rome – Transatlantic 2009 Day 5 – More Touring Rome

Yesterday we continued our wonderful, albeit tiring experience in Rome. The previous day we logged nearly 7 miles walking and touring in the city. Yesterday we logged about another 6 miles. We are certainly getting our exercise. I guess it makes us feel less guilty about the awesome food we are eating. Suzanne and I […]

Rome – Transatlantic 2009 Day 4 – Touring Rome

Yesterday was our first full day in Rome and boy did we get out and about in the town. We hoofed it around town to the tune of 6 or 7 miles of walking. It was a good full day and we saw some wonderful sites. The kids did a great job of keeping up. […]

Rome – Transatlantic 2009 Days 2 and 3 – Arrival in Rome

Our vacation to Rome and Transatlantic cruise back home continued today with our departure from Dallas after a nice pre Thanksgiving dinner with the Pechuls and Jarzynkas. I have combined days 2 and 3 into a single blog entry since most of the time was spent in airports or on airplanes. Our departure from DFW […]

Vacation Time!

Yes! It’s finally here – or well at least will be in the morning! Our much anticipated vacation to Rome, Italy followed by a transatlantic cruise home. It definitely seems like more than a year since our last cruise, but it was this time last year we embarked on our trip to Barcelona, Spain followed […]

Next Cruise Booked

Well, we have done it. As discussed in a previous post, we have been planning our next cruise. Now, we have gone and booked the cruise. Its going to be another transatlantic cruise. This time, from Rome, Italy to Ft Lauderdale, FL. It may seem odd to do a transatlantic for a second year in […]

Travel Weary

Whew, what a couple of weeks. Sorry for the lack of posts recently, but I have been on travel for my company and what a couple of weeks it was. The journeys started with a business trip to Hawaii a couple of weekends ago. Yeah, I know, rough place to go on business. It is […]

Travel and More Travel

Sorry for the absence, but the new job (within same company) has a bit more travel required. I just recently returned from a trip to Alabama and have another pending trip to Hawaii – yeah, that’s a rough one. Suzanne will be tagging along on that trip. Her parents are going to drive in from […]

Barcelona and Transatlantic Cruise 2008 – Day 20 – Flight Home

Today, the vacation really came to an end as we flew home from San Juan, Puerto Rico ending a wonderful cruise and overall vacation. We had a lot of great family fun on this trip and had many chances to increase our bond as a family. Cruising has been really wonderful for us. Of course, […]

[image title=”img_5308″ size=”thumbnail” id=”2134″ align=”none” linkto=”viewer” ] Well, it had to happen and today it did. Our wonderful cruise of 2008, the transatlantic voyage, came to an end when we docked in San Juan, Puerto Rico and were forced to disembark from the ship. Unfortunately, it was not a pleasant experience. The Celebrity Summit docked […]
