SHOW US YOUR LIFE....Favorite Vacation Spot

”Show Us Your Life with Kelly's Korner”

***You can view more favorite vacation spots by clicking on Kelly's Korner in my blog list***

My husband and I took our DREAM vacation last summer for our honeymoon. We took a Mediterranean Cruise starting in Rome and going on to Sicily, Italy; Athens, Greece; Ephesus, Turkey; and Iraklion, Crete.

It was seriously our dream...and a vacation I will never forget!

If anyone needs any travel ideas or hints for that area...we have them all!
Ephesus, Turkey

The House of the Virgin Mary...this is a replica of the house they believe Mary retired to..the EXACT spot...and it's even been deemed a holy place by the Pope.

Love your photos. I'm hoping to take this cruise -- or one from Venice -- in the spring.

Great pics! What an awesome trip. We took a similar cruise and loved it as well. How crazy was it to be in all those Biblical places?!?
