On June 10th 2006 we left Chicago with a group of folks from Emmis Communications on our way to a 7 night cruise on the Seabourn Spirit luxury yacht. Our ports of call: Civitavecchia, Italy - Capri, Italy - Amalfi, Italy - Mykonos, Greece - Santorini, Greece - Piraeus/Athens, Greece. It was the trip of a lifetime. Absolutely, positively 1st class all the way.

Cathy’s employer, Creative Travel Planners, Inc. and Michael Day~Media Incentives created this trip for Emmis and I went along as the official videographer. A one hour commemorative video was produced, edited and authored by Marc Miller Enterprises, Inc. and distributed free as a gift to all the guests who went on this journey together.

Here are some of my still photos from the adventure.http://www.emmis.com/http://www.seabourn.com/http://www.world66.com/europe/italy/lazio/civitavecchiahttp://www.capri.net/http://www.travelplan.it/amalfi_guide_sorrento.htmhttp://www.greektravel.com/greekislands/mykonos/http://www.greektravel.com/greekislands/santorini/http://www.athens-today.com/e-pireo.htmhttp://www.ctptravel.com/http://www.tell-my-story.comshapeimage_1_link_0shapeimage_1_link_1shapeimage_1_link_2shapeimage_1_link_3shapeimage_1_link_4shapeimage_1_link_5shapeimage_1_link_6shapeimage_1_link_7shapeimage_1_link_8shapeimage_1_link_9
