The Adriatic Sea is that slice of water sandwiched between the east coast of Italy and the Balkan Peninsula. With lofty mountains, winding fjords and magnificent bays it seems this sea is constantly pushing back civilization, a most improbable task. Our journey begins in the living museum that is Venice. It is from here we appropriately follow the Venetians of days gone by and discover their powerful legacy in ports such as Split, Dubrovnik, and Corfu. We explore down to Greece and finish with two nights in Istanbul where Asia and Europe meet.

The Rule of Six. Six degrees of Separation. The rule that declares you are only ever six people away from knowing someone you know. Surprisingly this rule also applies when we travel far, far away. One of our escorts on a recent cruise entered into a casual conversation with the on board dance instructor. They talked about style and tempo and then our curious escort asked the dance instructor how they ended up working on this ship? Incredibly enough a connection was revealed: the instructor had left Canada after working many years in the textile industry at a company where our escort's husband worked! Travel is a compilation of these incredible moments. Do you have a story you would like to share?
