We arrived home around 1 AM this morning - 3 flights to get home vs two going over. We used Regent air and we made all connections including a tight one in Amsterdam. I am 25% unpacked and Tony waiting for one piece of luggage which never left Nice. NW has called and tracked it and should be delivered tonight. We are very tired tonight.

I think this was our last port intensive cruise. (editing due to our age) We LOVED this trip but missed sea days. Comparing B2B and Lamb you can't help but realize how relaxed you are due to sea days. Also, we missed enjoying a pre and post day, our fault. Ngaire had a great group onboard and we enjoyed our old LCT friends and meeting new people. We have loved every Greece and Italy trip but think we are ready for new ports. The ports were wonderful and Venice, for me, was the highlight. JoAnn planned an off the beaten track canal trip that was A plus. There were 8 of us in private boat a wonderful morning. We had private van for 7 for all day Rome trip. We used Claudio's service and had driver named Luigi - outstanding! He took us within a block of every site. I can never get enough of Rome. I think this was our 3rd or 4th trip to Taormina and first time to cab to top of town to quaint village, Castelmola. Don't miss it - I am forgetting things as I am tired just hitting high points. You'd think I'd know this by now but getting private driver or grabbing cab the way to go - cheaper and so much fun. More to tell you about ports but later (all good)

I love the Voyager and the crew is wonderful. By the way, the shampoo/conditioner was just fine. Negatives: NO TAB for last 4 days of cruise (my addiction and I had requested it ) - small kids at pool second week having tantrums, large group on first week so pool bar was 3-4 people deep in late afternoon and I felt sorry for staff - problem in Venice with Regent transfers but I let Marc L and Tony handle that one - bottom line great trip -
