This is the only shot we got before boarding.

We left ‎⁨San Casciano in Val di Pesa⁩, ⁨Tuscany⁩, ⁨Italy⁩ about 8:30 and headed for Ravenna, Italy to board our cruise. There was a bad accident that held up about 20 minutes. It was cutting us close. The guys, Leeman and John were going to drop us off at the docks and then return our rental cars and take a taxi back to meet us. Needless to say, we went to Ravenna but we were suppose to be on the other side at Porto Corsini, so Christy, me and the trips had to roll our luggage onto a ferry and walk for about 20 minutes in the heat before we got to the ship. It was another scorcher of a day and I had to sit down a couple times. We actually walked almost the entire time John and Leeman were gone. We had just gotten through security when John and Leeman text to let us know they were here. Whew!

Once on board it was great. We explored the ship some, put our bags in our room, hit the buffet with all its options.

We all went up top to see us back out of the port and out into open water.

Unfortunately I did not take pictures of John but, Leeman signed up John and Leeman for an archery shoot. There were about 20 people and John got the highest points. Look at this proud winner.

After archery in the Reflections Lounge we roamed around the ship. All the ladie received a free chain so we could earn charms. And we all guessed on the wt of a diamond. None of us were winners but Leah was the closest of all of us. No prize. We went back as directed to get our first charm. We ate at the buffet. John and I were there as the son was going down but the rest of the crew came too late.

John took that last picture. And he even went outside to get it good. The is no edit that picture is straight out of camera.

After everyone ate we head back to the 5th floor corridor for some silent disco. Everyone had a good time. John especially. I never saw him enjoy something so much. But then again, he was dancing and singing with no clue, I could hear him. FYI Silent disco is when everyone has headphones on listening to one of 3 different channels and singing and dancing.

And I think that pretty much took us to the end of the day. John and I left the kids to continue dancing and having fun. It was already 11:00 so we headed to our room to go to bed.
