Dear All:
Since many of you told me that you could not open the file I sent, I decided to reconstruct everything in this email. In the process, I also made substantial changes and corrections. Please note, what I wrote was my own thoughts and observations. Those of you went with us in this trip would no doubt have reflections of your own. As our Historian, Wu-Ching Pan would also give us a much better depiction of our trip as a group.
Yes, we are safely back from a cruise of 13 days to Egypt and Aegean on Grand Princess which took us from Rome Civitavecchia to Naples, Athens, Kusadasi, Istanbul, Mykonos, Port Said, Alexandria, Civitavecchia, and then back to the States. It covered Italy, Greece, Turkey, and Egypt, traversing Europe and Asia.
