John took Caleb and Jonathan on an amazing two week cruise to Europe the past couple weeks. Originally we were thinking of all going on a cruise and because it is so much cheaper to do a repositional cruise, we checked the prices on those. In the Spring after cruise season is over, the big cruise companies take most of their ships from Florida over to Europe to get worked on or updated. My guess is the weather there is better, but I am not sure. Those cruises are half the price as the other ones because they are one way and because there are less port stops. Basically you're in the water cruising for 7 straight days without stopping. Both Jonathan and Caleb loved this idea because their favorite parts of cruise trips are the activities on the ship. Joshua was weary of missing two weeks of school (he's a smarty pants and has college level classes) so John agreed to just take the boys. Their first cruise got cancelled because a crane fell on their ship so they got a cruise credit and they're money back! They were able to reschedule to this one basically for free. They loved it! They went from New York to London, France and Belgium on the ship. They stayed in London for a few days after the cruise and flew home from there. They are already wanting to go back to Europe...
