Trip Planning

Epilogue I

Pictures have been added  for some of the ports. It was just too difficult and slow to add much from the internet connection on the ship, so we feel that the original posts and pictures were much more limited than we had wanted. In the future, we may even add some additional write-ups for some of the more interesting stops.

NOTE – The order of the posts has now been changed to be on normal chronological order since the trip is completed. This makes it easier to read as a completed journey.

Also, there is a tab at the top of the site, under the site title labeled “Trip Posts Only”.  If this tab is selected, only the posts related to the trip itself will be shown, skipping all of the posts that were written for Trip Planning.

Only 60 more days until we depart on September 29 from Charlotte on US Air for Toronto, then on our Air Canada Flight to Rome. The overnight flight arrives in Rome at 11:00 the next morning. We have already reserved a hotel in Rome, the Hotel Raffelo. It is fairly centrally located to all of the sights, and about a 10 min. walk to/from the rail station. We arrive on the morning of September 30, and stay until the morning of October 3. We then take a high speed train to Venice, hoping to arrive about 11:30. It is a short water bus ride and walk to the port, where we will board our cruise ship, the Emerald Princess. We do not depart Venice until the following day at 1:00 pm, so there will be an opportunity to see some of the sights in Venice.This is a link to the Cruise Itinerary on the Princess Web Site
