Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Tuesday, May 26 – Day at Sea A last day at sea! Hard to believe that this is the last full day of our cruise – it certainly doesn’t seem like we’ve been on the ship for 10 days already.

But it’s … Continue reading "2010 Mediterranean Cruise – Day 10, Villefranche, France"
