We are planning a nice fall trip to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary. To start with, Richard has been invited to sit on the panel of a retirement conference in Nashville in mid September. They will put us up at the Opryland Hotel, etc. This is the springboard of our trip. From there, we want to spend a couple of days in Gatlinburg where we spent our honeymoon in September 1973.
Because we are now veteran Princess cruisers and receive all of the notifications of Princess cruises, one came across our in-boxes that caught our attention. The dating and the pricing were too good to pass up, and we have booked the cruise. So from Gatlinburg, we will make our drive on up to New York ~~ stopping along the way to see the sights. Once we get to New York, we will catch the Princess Ship at the Brooklyn Pier for the following 7-day Cruise:
Sept 28: Board the Caribbean Princess Ship in New York, New York at the Brooklyn Pier
Set Sail at 5:00 p.m.
Sept. 29: Newport, Rhode Island Arrive at 7:00 a.m. and Depart at 4:00 p.m.
This day is our 35th wedding anniversary
Sept. 30: Boston, Mass Arrive at 10:00 a.m. and Depart at 7:00 p.m.
I want to see and meet my dear online friend Chickie during our day in Boston!
Oct. 1: Bar Harbor, Maine Arrive at 7:00 a.m. and Depart at 6:00 p.m.
Oct. 2: St. John, New Brunswick, Canada Arrive at 8:00 a.m. and Depart at 5:00 p.m.
Oct. 3: Halifax, Nova Scotia Arrive at 9:00 a.m. and Depart at 6:00 p.m.
Oct. 4: At Sea
Oct. 5: Arrive back in New York, New York for Disembarkation
The colors should be pretty and the temps cooler which will make for a nice drive up, a lovely cruise, and a nice trip back. We won't rush back home but will see some other sights along the way home ~~ depending upon how long we can bear to be away from our family and friends!
