A Tale of Two Cruises - early winter 2009

Planning for this trip began two years ago when we found a great price on a repositioning cruise between Rome and the Florida on Celebrity cruise line. When we looked for something else to do in Europe before the cruise, we found another cruise that would bring us back to Rome just in time to get on the Celebrity Solstice. The flight to Rome stopped in Munich, giving us the chance to visit friend Hartmut and his family. And Vienna where we have family we haven't seen in ages is a short drive away. It will be great to return to the US onboard ship without jet lag and a stop in Florida would be incomplete without a visit with our old friends the Harts. And so this trip evolved and grew ever more complex.
