Is this the most beautiful place on earth?



How's this for design inspiration? Just got back from 2 weeks in the Mediterranean and Rome, and was blown away by the beauty of Santorini. Makes me want to redecorate the entire house in blue and white. But with the economy, decorating's on hold 'til I pay off a couple things from the home theater project.

So for now I'll just bring out the red and green.

I'll be posting more videos from the cruise here.

No, i'm not this good with Photoshop

As anyone who's been to Pisa knows, you have to do this. DH took the photo and it's not retouched. Great fun to do it and then, of course, to watch the endless line-up of others doing it too.

After several days of major jet lag, naps, doing laundry and running errands, I'm feeling normal again and I've begun wading through a thousand photos and maybe as many video clips. It was a 14-day whirlwind of beautiful art and architecture, gorgeous scenery, and great food in the Cote d'Azur, Florence, Pisa, Rome, Amalfi, Pompeii, Venice, Malta and Barcelona. I can't wait to post more photos.

Thanks to all who stopped by while I was gone!

13 days & counting...

I'm so excited and busy getting ready for our big cruise. On our first night we celebrate our 24th anniversary. Along for the ride will be our good friends, Jim's best man (and BFF) and his wife.

I was thrilled to find a travel & photography buff's blog that featured photos of our ship, including the atrium above. Blogger Dom was so kind to let me use his photo here. (Thanks, Dom!)

Here's our itinerary below. If anyone has any tips, please leave comments! This is our first trip to this region. We had company last week, so I'm heading out today to do some shopping. Comfortable travel clothes & shoes are tops on my list!
