Travel journal: east Med Princess cruise 2010 (Intro)

My objective with this blog is to not only post additional information about my examiner.com Charlotte sightseeing articles, but to post 'travel journals,' notes I have taken on previous trips of mine. I have just returned from a fabulous European vacation and want the notes I took during the trip to comprise the first 'travel journal' series I post here.

It’s not every day that I get the chance to seriously discuss a vacation – lack of both time and money have long made the idea of having one, especially abroad, impossible. But my mother, one of the most avid travelers I know and a bargain hunter by nature, found a cruise deal from Princess Cruise Lines too good to pass up: $1,900 for a 12-night cruise, adding only a few hundred more for a second passenger, which she wanted to be me. So, about a month prior to sailing, it was set: I was going on my first cruise – an Eastern Mediterranean itinerary aboard the Star Princess.
