Just another continuity of my travels in 2019

Just a recap:

Mid MARCH 2019 for over two weeks we cruised to the Mediterranean region. Netherlands,  France, Monaco, Croatia, Greece, Italy and Spain. We were all over the Western Europe. I love it. It was hubby's second time in Europe so now he has the feel being a “frequent flyer." Yeah.

It used to be that Barcelona was my favorite city. But that changed when we were there. Lots of graffiti. The La Rambla had no "living artists" that they were famous for. An enormous amount of migrants selling beer on the street made it intimidating for most visitors to roam the streets of Barcelona last spring.


We were in Monaco and visited places. Our Viking Ocean cruise liner, Viking Star was nice. Costly as it is known to be the "high end cruise line"  but it was so worth it in terms of every penny spent on it. Gourmet dishes were served, fabulous ship, exciting excursions and its superb staff catered to our needs to the maxim. Couldn't get better than that!

We flew back from Venice so filled with warm memories of that magical city! It was like going back to time. No source of transport except for the "water taxi." 

Our trip to the airport was memorable. Hubby hired a limousine type water taxi for a costly amount of over 150 Euro so we had the exclusive use of this that you see with American actor George Clooney in it whenever he is in Venice.

At the Marco Polo International Airport in Italy, it was fantastic.  We were able to rest at the lounge  and eat ssince we have this VIP AMEX credit platinum card that enable us to utilize it at airport lounges around the world that honors it. We flew back to San Francisco in love with life. And with each other and that matters most.
