Posted in Albania, Croatia, Italy, Montenegro, Nieuw Amsterdam on Jun 28th, 2010
I’m writing this aboard a Delta Airline’s flight. This is my final business trip before our vacation next week. I have to say: this vacation has been a long time in coming. It will be our first time back to Europe in about 15 months. That’s probably not long by most standards, but it’s an […]

At the time, it was slated to operate year round from Miami on an alternating Eastern/Western Caribbean run. I was going to predict that Epic would be […]
