We are Cruisin'!!

We are living high on the hog and cruising in the Adriatic Sea as we speak! The boat will make a stop today in Bari, Italy before we head out to Greece! Pretty darn exciting if I do say so myself. Our boat (The Costa Serena) is huge and gorgeous with about 3000 people on board. The cruise line is Italian so about 2000 of the people are Italian. The English speaking population is small with just a handful of Americans. We do hear a fair amount of French however. It's kind of neat to be able to understand 2 of the 5 languages (English, Italian, German, French, and Spanish) that they speak onboard. We signed the kids up for the daily kids' programs and gave them the choice of joining the French group or the English group. They chose the English but really could have gone with either. Josh has the kids up at the pool doing some swimming while I explore the 12 decks. We ate a huge Italian meal last night before hitting the sack and sleeping hard until almost 10 a.m. this morning! I love this life!!!
