So after three attempts of trying to take a cruise, we opted instead for something that had been on my bucket list for a long time! The Aeolian Islands off the coast of Sicily. When we lived in Germany, I was at the airport ready to go with tickets in hand, but the plane was delayed over 24 hours and so with timing, it didn't work out to go. So this was an especially special trip! We had such an amazing week and enjoyed the nature of Volcanoes tremendously. It was so fascinating! It took cars, planes, trains, busses, and boats to get around (transportation was definitely the trickiest part of the trip). Because of the complications to get there, it is often left off the list for many tourists, which makes it feel very authentic and special. A beautiful place with friendly (and helpful) people, and delicious food!!!
On the way to drop Kiwi off before our flight. This was the hardest part of the trip - saying goodbye to Kiwi!!
