One of my favorite things to do on vacation? Nothing. I love to simply relax, and there’s no better way, in my opinion, than to settle down in a private cabana with a book in one hand and a cool drink in the other.

Friday, November 6, 2009…My Equinox diary We have been very busy since we boarded the ship yesterday. We began at the Hilton Garden Inn at the Rome Airport where we almost joined another group from Kentucky who were taking a bus from the hotel to the pier. We had made our own plans to return to the airport (10 minutes) and then catch the Celebrity bus transfer to Civitavecchia from there. We decided it make sense to …
