Setting sail on the blue Mediterranean. . . . . . . .




This lovely journey started on May 2, 2017. 
Over the next couple of weeks (I'm back home now), I'll be sharing
 with you some of the beautiful places we visited in Sicily and Malta.
The entire trip went smoothly with no hitches and near perfect weather, however I,
 then Bob, and several other shipmates were hit by a really tough bug - after three 
days of laryngitis, an awful chest infection kicked in followed by non-stop
 coughing. I have coughed for Italy, Malta, England, and that endless 4,000 miles
 back across the pond where they looked at me like I was 'Typhoid Mary', and now
 here in the USA!
I'm on day eleven now BUT I swear tomorrow I am going to feel better and 
be much quieter so I can sit here and work on my photos and stories.
So, nighty nite - I'm off swigging a mug of hot milk and brandy as I head to bed.

More coming later. Hope you like history, ruins, volcanoes, cathedrals, art,
twisty roads, vineyards, tasting wine, tasting olive oil. . . . . . . and of course 
eating the best pizza and gelato on the planet!
