MS Ryandam — Home for the next month
The cat sitter is diligently taking care of Max and Pooh — the cats who reign supreme in Casa Wicker — and overseeing the old homestead. The flight to London was uneventful (I hope, as I wrote this in anticipation of an uneventful flight). The flight to Athens should take place as scheduled. Our cabin aboard the MS Ryndam awaits. Internet access will be expensive and, thus, limited.
Even so, I hope to bring to you my thrice-weekly blog. Over the next thirty+ days I will attempt to post photos of our adventure through the Mediterranean and during our transatlantic crossing.
In mid November — at cruise end — we’ll be meeting with online friends at one of our favorite Tampa-area Italian restaurants.
The voyage aboard MS Ryndam will not be our first. You may remember our transatlantic excursion in April, 2012, to visit the D-Day Invasion Beaches and other sights:
- Views of the MS Ryndam
- On the Go in Saint-Malo
- Storming the Beaches — Omaha and Utah
- In Bruges — Part 1
But the destinations this trip will be much more akin to the 54-day cruise we took aboard MS Prinsendam in April and May of 2010.

MS Prinsendam — Home for 54 Days
What destinations will those be? Stop by for this week’s Fun Photo Friday for a hint or two.
Decisions — Murder in Paradise
The Globe — Murder in Luxury
I’ll look forward to reading all about it. I always love reading about cruising!
