easy cruise

We are leaving on our cruise today, so I thought I'd post our itinerary.  I'm not sure when/where/how often we will have internet access since we will be at a different place every day.  I'm really quite excited about the next week, looking forward to seeing a few new places and spending lots of time relaxing on the boat.  I've got Jane Austen, Edmund Keeley, Henry Miller and some sock knitting to keep me occupied - and I can't wait.  I'm getting a bit sad about having to leave Athens for a fourth time next week - but I know for certain now that I will be back here - am no longer concerned with thinking I may never see the city again.  Greece will always be a part of my life - I will never really get it out of my system.

RLM,

The following is the Jewish traveler's prayer, which is to be recited at the beginning of a journey, according to the Talmud. In the prayer, the traveler asks for a safe trip.

Here is a translation:

"May it be Your will, Lord, My God and God of my ancestors, to lead me, to direct my steps, and to support me in peace. Lead me in life, tranquil and serene, until I arrive at where I am going. Deliver me from every enemy, ambush and hurt that I might encounter on the way and from all afflictions that visit and trouble the world. Bless the work of my hands. Let me receive divine grace and those loving acts of kindness and mercy in Your eyes and in the eyes of all those I encounter. Listen to the voice of my appeal, for you are a God who responds to prayerful supplication. Praised are you, Lord, who responds to prayer."
