14 days plus one extra because missed flight due to weather in Atlanta coming home. Cannes, France, Monaco, Monte Carlo, Nice, Rome, Naples, Sorrento, Messina, Corfu, Croation, Split and Venice. Dog tired and Jet Lag is real, 15 hours to get to Barcelona, 13 hours getting home!
Amazing but been there done that, not going back, but loved the 8 excursions, cruise was my first and glad we sailed at night and didn't spend much time on ship. Vatican was amazing and I loved Naples and its beauty!

Awesome man. Glad you had a great time. Meanwhile, I nearly worked myself to death during that time!! Haha
Got home from offshore and have slept for 2-1/2 days.

I got home around 11 am yesterday, gonna take couple days to recover. Lost 5 pounds, lots walking to see things. I love America, but seeing counties that were clean and safe was awesome. They don’t use plastic very much which I thought was unique. Reminded of me growing up without plastic bottle, bags and other stuff. Loved it

That's really cool. After spending time "near" Nashville, I would love seeing some clean areas. Lol

No but very cool to say the least, kinda blew me away seeing the casino. I was amazed at Monte Carlo, got to be the richest port in the world, you must be a billionaire to live there, LOL. Some cool race cars up close.

The casionos in Monte Carlo are all European casinos. All the games are Baccarat, etc. I don't remember being able to play anything.

I hope to do a Greek Isles cruise one day and leave out of Rome. Which line did you use? Exactly 10 years ago to the day I was spending a long weekend in Rome while I was working in Marignane, France on the company dime. On Friday, July 11th of 2014 I toured the catacombs of San Callisto and walked several miles down the Appian Way to the old, original paver stones, walked back and caught a bus to the site of the Circus Maximus and went and walked on that track for a while. Rome was awesome! Everywhere you turned there was something from a history book or a movie. I also thought the Vatican was outstanding. I had a ticket to tour St. Peter's but I had torn meniscus at the time and after the Vatican my right knee said it was time to head for some adult beverages to knock the edge off. I'm not Catholic but I told every Catholic that I knew when I got back home that they are doing themselves a disservice if they never go check out the Vatican.

We did Norwegian Cruise(Escape). We flew into Barcelona and flew out of Venice. Total of 8 ports, sailed at night and each morning we were up early with excursions, 5 to 9.5 hours. Saw some amazing things.
