We’re on board the Norwegian Jade for a 12- day Mediterranean Cruise! After a week of traveling on our own from Milan to the Italian Riviera and Athens, we were more than ready to settle into our balcony suite for the next 12- days without the worry of having to pack up and lug around our… Read more…
We came to Athens with the intentions to do two things — see the Parthenon and eat Souvlaki. Is it terrible for me to say we were looking forward to the Souvlaki more so than the Parthenon?!

We arrived 3-hours later than… Read more…
