The Trip!

Hey everyone,
So, a few weeks ago Crock and I were presented with an invitation we could not refuse:  A trip to Europe to sail with YL on the Sea Cloud.  I mean we were at a loss for words on this one!  All expenses paid except for travel!  And Crock was already going to Ireland (golf trip with HS and college buddies, most turning 50 this year) that had been planned for a year!  We also thought, impossible since I was about to be working officially for UNC.  But, God is SOOOOO good!  He worked out the work situation (thanks Martina for being soooo understanding!) and we were able to work out the plane flights for me and Crock.  So, I fly to Paris on Friday, May 27 to meet up with Crock coming from Ireland and then we meet up with the YL group.  I have no idea how often I'll be able to be at a computer to post but I'll try to post every few days!  I'll try to post pictures as well.  This is all new to me, so I may not do a great job at it. but a friend suggested I do this, so I'll give it a go!
We start in Normandy, France and then we board the Sea Cloud (www.firstcenturyvoyages.com) and tour the beaches of France for 7 days.  We end up in Spain where we catch a plane to fly home.
