Into Rome...a couple days in the city for some sight seeing, then head north. We'll drive up to a town outside of Siena, and stay three nights in the Castello Delle Serre. From there, it's off to Venice to catch our boat...a 12 night cruise. First Port of Call is Dubrovnik, Croatia, then to Santorini and Athens, Greece. From there, it's back to Italy making stops in Naples, Rome, and Florence. Next is Nice, France and we disembark in Barcelona. Should be the trip of a lifetime, we can't wait!!!
