Almost thirteen months ago we put the deposit down on our first big trip where it is just the two of us. This is a late honeymoon and an early 20th anniversary, August in the Mediterranean is way too hot for me.

An 11 night cruise, our first (only?), around Italy and Croatia. We start in Rome, flying in a day early and finish with an extra night in Venice. We will be trying to get some touristy things just before and after the cruise.

The packing is almost done, still working on getting everything under the airline limits, and we leave in 17 hours.

Blue rectangular card displaying an airplane emoji followed by the text Italy and Croatia with a ship emoji next to it and the text In 17 hours below A circular loading icon is present on the right side. The background is a dark screen.

We hope to check in daily and post some notes and photos of each day.
