Going to Europe has always been a dream of mine. Unfortunately, I have never been able to get it together. My littlest brother is 4 and he has been to Europe more times than I have!

I finally decided that this year was the year we would finally take the plunge! I have a few milestones coming up: My husband and I will celebrate 5 years of marriage in July and I will be turning the big 3-0 (eek) in September. I can’t say I am too excited about that last part, though!

We have book a Mediterranean Cruise for October and I cannot be more excited! We did a Caribbean cruise for our honeymoon and loved it so much, that we decided another cruise was the way to go. We will fly to Barcelona to board the boat and spend 9 days sailing the Mediterranean. The ports I am most excited about are Florence, Rome, Dubrovnik (Croatia), and VENICE!! I am so excited about Venice. I have loved Venice since the first time I saw Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, many moons ago. We will spend an extra day in Venice before flying home.

Now I just have to patiently wait for 10 more months

Have you ever been to Europe? What is your favorite spot?
