We've had a wonderful week since our last day of work last Friday. Cory and I both had retirement parties at work and it was wonderful to exchange stories with our colleagues. We spent some time with both Cory's parents and my parents in Prescott last week. We've stayed with my son Tom and his girlfriend Rebecca for the last few days. It's nice to spend these last days with family.

Tomorrow morning Tom will take us to the airport and we fly to Orlando, FL. We'll spend one night in Orlando and then board the Disney Magic on Monday morning. Here is the itinerary for our transatlantic crossing:

 Monday, May 19 Depart Port Canaveral
Tuesday, May 20 Castaway Cay, Caribbean (a Disney owned island)
Wednesday, May 21 to Tuesday, May 27 at sea
Wednesday, May 28 at Funchal (Madeira) Portugal
Thursday, May 29 Malaga, Spain
Friday, May 30 at sea
Saturday, May 31 dock at Barcelona, Spain

We downloaded several books for our long days at sea and look forward to just relaxing by the pool. From the port in Barcelona we go directly to the airport and fly to Paris. We won't have reliable internet access while at sea, so this is the last post I'll make until we get to Paris on May 31.  I'll have lots to report then and lots of pictures for you, too! Bye for now.
