I'm super excited about the Southern itineraries. Something different and cheaper than the Fantasy Eastern I moved from May.
If you need a good hotel in Venice, I stayed at an awesome B&B right off St Mark's Square....it's family run and such a cool place. One of the owners looks a lot like Johnny Depp...and he cooks! http://www.locandaorseolo.com/

Apparently I was wrong and Jeff was very interested in the Southern option so after some chatting and knowing even if we could swing Greece for the 2 of us, justifying that with the kids in the summer would go over like a lead balloon, we decided to totally change gears and book the Southern. Apparently he has no interest in Puerto Rico as a port but no issues embarking and disembarking there I don't get it but I love the itinerary and apparently so does he, and the reality is that it is less than half the price on the cruise and about 1/3 the price on flights.
It was the responsible choice
Plus since it is during school the kids can't complain that they aren't going and since it's his big bday present, they really can't complain (too loudly anyway). We will shoot for a trip with them later that same school year for either mid winter or spring break so it shouldn't be too horrible. I'd love to take them but they will just be too old to miss school. Eric could maybe manage it, Evan no way.
That said.....I am not totally ruling Greece out. My big sneaky plan is to see if any deals come out after the PIF date, as I know they have in the past. As our new PIF date is actually after the original cruise date it is not completely impossible that we could make it work if the deal was right.
