Not long before we left on this trip, Ryan asked me, "What's your favorite thing about the cruise?"
I hesitated for a second before answering, "The coffee. It's pretty nice to have a pot of hot coffee waiting for us at the table when we sit down for breakfast." Talk about a lame answer. We both chortled.
In retrospect, I'm not sure if that's my favorite thing or not. Not that the coffee is bad. To the contrary. But there are so many little things that make up the overall experience. It's hard to pick a favorite.
So it is with all that follows. What words will take form? What pictures to post? What experiences to share? What needs to be said?
Even as these words begin to appear on the computer screen, your guess is as good as mine in regards as to what comes next. Let's find out.

We're home now and spent last night with my side of the family at my nephew Matt's, right on the heels of Christmas dinner at our place the previous day with Jamie's parents. Looking back to last month, we were equally blessed to share Thanksgiving at my niece Amy's. In between we spent 21 December days in Mediterranean Europe - five days in Rome on our own, then embarking the Viking Star for a sail down the western Italian coast, out to Malta, then east to Greece with the termination in Athens.
Yes, life is full and I find another blessing in the writing of this. It's good to let the mind wander the past and harken back to some really good days.
