Had a little day dream today. What if I were super rich and wanted to cruise the world? So, I went to my favorite cruise booking site, hooked together a whole bunch of cruises and here's what I came up with. These are real upcoming cruises, interspersed by land or air travel to link it all together. 16 cruises, some land rail or auto rentals in Europe, a long plane ride from Chile to Hawaii, some extended stays in England, Spain, Hawaii, Japan, Dubai and New York. Roughly 457 days.
I better get my bags packed. In fact, I may have to buy more bags...we depart in two weeks out of Fort Lauderdale. Guess I'll take the Amtrak there, wouldn't want to pay the port parking fees.
Oh, yeah, I almost forgot. The cost of the whole trip? $135,368. Oh, and that's just for the cruise fare.
Grandma Rita would be proud.
