Day 4 started early, as we were greeted by our local tour guide as we docked in Crete, the largest of the Greek islands and the fifth biggest one in the Mediterranean Sea. We got on a van and headed to the archeological site of Knossos, of the Minoan civilization. This was a lovely walk with our tour guide exploring the ruins and history of the Palace. Before heading back to Rethymnon, we were treated by a hearty lunch at a local taverna. We had so much fun and food and ‘ouzo” (the local spirit drink), there was not a single person awake on the ride back to the ship. It was definitely “siesta” time.
Then we had time to enjoy a bit of time by the nearby beach, and then get ready for a night with the locals: Crete is a popular vacation destination among Greeks and it was lovely to walk around the picturesque tavernas and the Venetian Harbor.
Erin is such a fabulous resource! She helped us bring our target destinations to life by suggesting activities that match our interests, fabulous lodging and excursion options, and patiently coordinating a seamless experience.

I don’t have the words to describe it but the last week has been one of the best I can remember. 6 days of adventure in South East Alaska including trekking through lush rain forest, sitting in silence listening to glaciers calving, up early to see the northern lights, kayaking and stupidly swimming in iceberg frozen waters ! (That actually hurt).
Animal sightings including black and brown bears, Minke and hundreds of Humpack Whales, porpoises, sea lions, mountain goats, harbour seals, bald eagles, salmon and more birds than I can count. Wonderful friends and connections made. A huge shout out to Trevor and his totally amazing crew on the Admiralty Dream whose energy and enthusiasm made this most incredible experience.

Excellent safari trip with Adventure Life and Albatross Travel. Special shout out to our guides Eric Turasha (Kenya), and Blasi Shirima (Tanzania) from Albatross Travel. Both were world class!!! The trip went off without a hitch; all the camps were amazing…worth mentioning...one of the camps we were going to stay in on the Tanzanian side was damaged by high winds so we ended up in a different camp (Mara under Canvas Camp). Can't say enough good things! A great experience and superb service!!
