We're Back

We had a great time on our trip and on the cruise and are back home. I really wanted to blog while we were gone, but online access was so sloooow, that it wasn't feasible.

One quick observation. Everywhere we went, has was 1.30 to 1.40 euro/liter which is $6.50 to $7.00 per gallon. Think about that the next time you pay $60 to fill your tank. We don't know how good we have it.

Crusing...

Monica and I are off on our big vacation of the year. As most of you know, we're taking a 10-day Mediterranean cruise for my parents 40th anniversary. (Yes, they're coming too :)).

First we're making a three-day stop in Chicago for Monica's mom's 60th birthday. Edith was very surprised to see us; I'd describe it as close to hysterical. I'll try to write more later.

Wednesday afternoon we fly to Rome and the cruise starts Saturday. We're on the Holland American Westerdam if you want to follow the itinerary.

Off to the Museum of Science and Industry today, I think.
