Tired of work. The nest is empty. Mom continues to decline, just like our house. We need to get away.

Where do two restless foodies with more wanderlust than money go? Jump on the cheap discounted cruise offer that came across our kitchen table last summer! When you sign up for a trip like this it always seems so far off in the distant future, but here we are, four weeks exactly from our sailing date.

Sailing across the Atlantic on a cruise ship has always been one of those romantic dreams that Tami has entertained, perhaps inspired by the endless stream of British murder mysteries that she voraciously consumes.

In April we depart on a cruise that takes us from Fort Lauderdale across the Atlantic to several ports in Europe. We then tack on a few days in Copenhagen and finish with a few days in Reykjavik, taking advantage of IcelandAir’s policy to offer free layovers. We plan to post periodic updates on both our planning and the trip itself. This is my test drive of how to do this– just wait until you see what comes once we get the hang of this!
