So, I'm leaving for Europe Wednesday. (Spelling Wednesday,makes no sense at all). I keep forgetting where I'm going, but in case you want to know, here:
We depart Miami to London on Wed. May 16 near 5pm. (overnight flight)
Thurs. 7am we change planes in London and fly to Istanbul and arrive near 11am
Sat. May 19 we check out of our Istanbul Hotel and board the ship (NCL's Jewel) and stay overnight
Sun. May 20 our ship leaves Istanbul harbor near 3pm THEN our ports are like thus:

and then after all this we end up in rome, or something. I'm angling for Pompeii.
At any rate, the short version is: Turkey, Greece, Rome, Egypt. Yay! I'll try to update this with cool Europe stuff when I can, and see which of two things happen first:
1. You feel jealous and wish death upon me for such an awesome trip
2. You laugh in glee at me because I'm with my brother for this entire time.
I'll keep you posted. At the end, everyone can take a vote!
oh, and this past weekend, I went to Orlando for that conference, and it was awesome! Dr. Miller is like a younger version of Dr. naylor, sans british accent.
