Since I was in high school I have been captivated with the idea of the Greek Isles. Whether it is the incredible beauty I imagine there, or the culture, or a way of life so seemingly different from my own - the desire to see it up close and personal has always been a dream. My dream is about to come true.
Thursday, October 17 Dick and I, along with Dick's brother Doug and sis-in-law Karen, fly from Minneapolis to Istanbul to begin a journey that will take us down the western coast of Turkey to the ports of Ephesus, Bodrum and Marmares and then further out into the Mediterranean (Adriatic) to the islands of Rhodes, Mykonos,Crete and Santorini, plus a day in Athens. We will be cruising on the beautiful Celebrity Constellation for this 12 night adventure. Our trip begins with 48 hours in Istanbul - enough time to visit the Hagia Sophia, the Grand Bazaar, the Spice Market, and countless other historic sites. We will do some tours and some exploring on our own. Our hotel for those first days is right on the shores of the busy Bosporus Sea.
I've not blogged since 2007, and I am feeling it may be time to start again with a broader concept than just 'Kathy's Travels.' I will ponder all of this while I sail into the beautiful waters of the Mediterranean. For now I invite you to come sit on the veranda of our stateroom and enjoy the trip with me!

I'm so envious and for sure, green is not my best colour! I can tell you from experience that you can't go wrong with Celebrity - they are amazing. Have a wonderful trip and I can't wait to live vicariously through your posts. xoxo
Watching your itinerary daily and imagining all of you enjoying the sights, sounds & aromas!
