Introduction

Earlier this summer, Marg and myself were trying to decide on what vacation we wanted to take in the fall.  We had tentatively decided on renting a cottage in the 1000 Islands.  One night I was looking at an article on repositioning cruises, where cruise lines move their ships from one seasonal  vacation area to another, and I decided to check into what cruises were available.  I looked at Caribbean, Hawaiian, Panama Canal and transatlantic cruises and found a Celebrity cruise that was leaving the Mediterranean and going to Florida, stopping in the West Indies.  As good fortune would have it I send the wrong web page link to Marg and that link turned out to be a much better cruise that stopped in Morocco and the Canary Islands on its way to Fort Lauderdale.

So for a very reasonable price we are going on what has the potential to be a fantastic three continent 16 day cruise.

Prior to departure we are going to be staying in Rome's port city of Civitavcchia for four days.  This gives us a chance to visit Rome again and visit some of our favorite restaurants and sites.

While docked in Agadir Morocco, we are taking a tour to Merrakech, to see a culture that neither of use has had exposure to.
