... hubby and I sailed our first repositioning cruise on Royal Caribbean's Brilliance of the Seas, traveling from Harwich, England (near London) to Boston. We picked this sailing because it included a day in Paris (via the port of Le Havre, France) and two days in Reykjavik, Iceland. Both places were on our "to do" list and the itinerary did not disappoint! It was truly an amazing trip (and, at 15 days, our longest cruise to date). We definitely want to return to some of these ports in the future.

It took a while to go through the 3,000+ photos I took, but I finally uploaded some of my favorites to Flickr.com. Click here if you want to see where Brilliance took us.

When traveling abroad, I do my best to find a McDonalds in every port of call. As you can see below, I was successful in Paris! Les Frites! Yum!
