Dana and Kay do the Med(iterranean) now online

The four-part series I did on our May trip to the Mediterranean is now online.

From home to Athens via London:
Part 1

Athens to Ephesus to the Greek isles:
Part 2

Italy from Sicily to Tuscany via the Amalfi Coast:
Part 3

Monte Carlo, Provence, Barcelona and home:
Part 4

Our only problem is deciding where to go next, but since we seem to do a big trip only once every three years, we have plenty of time to decide.

Dropping off the radar

That would seem to be what I've done for two weeks: dropped off the radar. Instead, we've been on a two-week adventure to the Mediterranean aboard a cruise ship of the Oceania Line, the Marina.

First, we stopped in London to visit our in-laws, then on to Athens, skimming the upper rim of the Mediterranean, then landing in Barcelona on Thursday.

This was a trip sponsored by a favorite winery, Robert Biale of Napa, and included wine tastings, three outings to vineyards, three sumptuous meals at said wineries, and more to do on ship. I'll be posting a TravelQuest on the North Texas e-News and will put the links here as they appear.

In the meantime, there's laundry and bills and groceries to gather, photos to download...

I need a vacation.
