Our awesome suite with a balcony on board the Costa Favolosa. Fresh fruit daily, always clean. Dreamy. |
First stop. Palma de Mallorca, island off the coast of Spain. |
Magical passageways and scrumdiddilyumptious gelato shops 🙂 |
the mythtical-looking, ancient MALTA |
Sunset departure from Malta. Come sail away, come sail away, sail away with me. |
Mt. Vesuvius! Once one, split into two. |
Ancient Pompeii. Preserved menu at the brothel (above). |
Diving into the storied pools of Pompeii |
Pompeii Forum. The city still seemed alive and well thanks to the bustling tourists. |
So long, Pompeii! |
Last stop. Savona, Italy. A sleepy beach town that perfectly aligned with my need to plunge into the Mediterranean! |
There’s one happy Italian taking a beach shower 🙂 |
And one satisfied American. Photo cred to one spoiled-rotten photographer. |
