Europe Travel Diary – Part IX – Wrap up

Previously: Part VIII – Pompeii

We disembarked our cruise on Friday September 15, the day after Pompeii, and flew from Rome to Toronto. I stayed in Toronto for the weekend to visit Matt and flew back to Seattle on the Monday. I was away from Seattle for almost four whole weeks!

I had a wonderful time on this vacation. Mom did a great job of making all the arrangements in Italy and we all really appreciated that. I had fun on the cruise although I’m not sure I’d jump aboard another one any time soon. The food was great though and it was nice to wake up in a new city each morning without having to unpack! By far the best part of the trip was getting to spend so much time with my mother, sister, aunt and uncle. No one could asked for better travelling companions!
