Venice: the upgrade

I was kind of already living a dream life before the Venice rendezvous.

Then, in early October, my dad said, “Instead of just meeting me and your aunt and grandma there before we go on our cruise, why don’t you come on the cruise with us?”

A chance to spend two weeks visiting Israel, Egypt and Turkey? With a bunch of relatives (including great-aunts and uncles) who are interesting even if they’re “golden-aged”? The answer is: YES!!

everyone's as friendly as they look!

My grandma, who celebrated her 90th birthday on board. Sure hope I look that good at her age!

I’ve got to say, Venice is one of those few places that actually lives up to its hype. It’s a magical city.
