Our trip was great and I think all we hoped it would be.
It started out with a few glitches but we handled it.
Once we flew into Chicago O'Hare we had a layover before our flight to New York and Barcelona, Spain. While walking around stretching my legs I noticed the flight schedule board said our flight along with a number of others was cancelled. What? I stared at it for a moment and then went and told Cindy. Then we scrambled. We got into line to talk to an airline agent along with other frantic customers. Once we connected with an agent we were put on another flight leaving a bit later and flying into London Heathrow connecting to Barcelona.
The flight was fine just long. Once at Heathrow we had a 7 hour layover. We should have gone into town. Instead we just lounged around Heathrow. Then on to Barcelona. We arrived without incident but our luggage didn't. The switch-over meant our bags were misplaced. No matter. We had extra clothes in our backpacks so it wasn't the end of the world.
The Royal Caribbean Cruise line really took care of us. After a few phone calls our luggage was found and caught up to us that evening.

| Voyager of the Seas |
Our ship was the Voyager of the Seas and was big and beautiful. The cruise went from Barcelona, Spain to Toulon France, Florence, Rome, Messina in Sicily and ended in Venice. It was 6 nights.
Our room was cozy (think sort of small but not bad), the food was wonderful, the entertainment was entertaining and good so the whole cruise was great. I hope we can go on another one some day.
I'll show you some pictures of our home away from home.

We really had great weather and took shore excursions to some very nice places.
