Barcelona and Italy

The Mediterranean Sea is absolutely breathtaking, and I’ve been dreaming of visiting it for ages. Unfortunately, Aaron and I didn’t get to see everything on our list. But hey, that just means we have another trip to Italy planned for the future! Whether we’re admiring the Colosseum after a delicious pizza or getting lost in the olive groves and vineyards, Italy will leave you spellbound.  

Our adventure began in Barcelona, where we caught a red-eye flight from JFK. Barcelona is a vibrant and dynamic city with its narrow streets, medieval architecture, and lively atmosphere. Although our pj’s were on before the sun went down, we got the vibe right away!

We had two wonderful days exploring the city before hopping on board the Norwegian Prima, our home for the next ten days. Our itinerary included three ports in Spain: Valencia, Ibiza, and Palma (Majorca). We also visited two ports in France: Marseille and Cannes. And guess what? We got to explore four ports in Italy: Genoa, Florence/Pisa, Naples, and Rome. Unfortunately, due to strong winds, we couldn’t stop in Valencia. But hey, that gave us more time to soak up the beauty of the ship!  

Every adventure, whether it’s marveling at the vibrant streets of Barcelona or feeling the sea breeze aboard the Norwegian Prima, leaves an unforgettable mark on my soul, teaching me gratitude, patience, and wonder.

Travel isn’t just about the destinations; it’s about the growth, the memories, and the heartfelt connections that stay with me long after the journey ends…. so until our next adventure, thanks for following along…Ciao!
