Packing is going slow, but preparations are well under way, and the excitement  is growing!
Our first stop will be the grand city of Rome which was the last stop for Paul. After 5 days we board the Celebrity Silhouette and head to Naples, the third largest city is Italy. From there we travel to the untouched island of Malta where Paul was shipwrecked for a season. Then to Athens, "the city of the gods",  where he boldly proclaimed repentance and the risen One at Mars Hill. Then to the Greek fashionable isle of Mykonos. Then to Ephesus, Turkey where Paul spent a good three years teaching and ministering. Then to three Greek isles: glamorous Rhodes, dramatic Santorini, and the largest, most populous island of Crete which was the only one visited by Paul. Then finally ending our journey in the romantic city of Venice, Italy!
