Sally of Smiling Sally hosts Blue Monday. Be sure and visit her for lots of blue inspirational pics!
We just returned from an extended vacation. We visited four countries including Italy, Croatia, Greece and France. Most of the time was spent aboard the Splendor of the Seas. We sailed from Venice, Italy to five ports. The weather was beautiful and sunny…lots of blue skies and water! Here are a few of my favorite scenes captured on the trip.
Croatia
Venice, Italy
Mykonos, Greece…a beautiful island –once a hangout for Jackie O Katakaylon, Greece
And last but not least-Paris, France
Our trip around the world has left me pretty exhausted! I enjoyed it, but am glad to be home and get back into my routine!
Please join me tomorrow as I resume hosting 2nd Time Around!
Thanks for stopping by!

Diane-Thanks for your sweet comments! Your trip looks fabulous! I have always wanted to go to Greec in particular. Hope we'll see more of your trip soon!
ReplyDeleteDiane, your trip sounds incredible, and your photos are beautiful! I'm a little jealous-ok, I'm a lot jealous! What a trip! Glad you are safely home, and glad you had such a wonderful trip. laurie
ReplyDeleteWelcome home!
ReplyDeleteYour Mediterranean cruise like a dream come true, Diane! I'd love to take one someday too.
Your photos are fantastic! I've visited Venice twice and I just love that city. Looking forward to seeing and hearing more about your trip!
Hugs, Pat
Welcome home, Diane, and look at those fabulous pictures. I would be hard pressed to pick a favorite. Let me just say with water like that, I could easily live in Mykonos, Greece, but then I scrolled down to Paris and saw that amazing shot! And of course the Parthenon looks incredible against that gorgeous blue sky. Looks like it was a great trip. Glad you're back with us and that you had fun!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday...

After viewing your post, I felt I had been back to Italy. I was fortunate enough to go there once, and loved it. Good shopping too.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful sceneries! Been to Athens, Katakolon and Paris but I haven't seen Venice. Your photographs are amazing! What a fun trip! I am sure your stay in the ship is just as fun. We just got back from a Caribbean cruise ourselves..Christine
