Christmas Cruise ~ Crystal Serenity December 2012

     Dad decided that we could all use some Christmas Cheer this year, so all of us that are happily unemployed (sorry Nicole, Luke, Gary and Evelyn) should try a Food and Wine Cruise on the Serenity.  We began in Lisbon, Portugal, at The Dom Pedro Palace, where we spent a few days before departing to some unusual destinations.
