Not Your Average
Mediterranean Cruise
Well we did it. We traveled to see the Total Solar Eclipse of March 29, 2006. What a great time. We traveled with Travelquest International. They specialize in Astronomy related trips. This trip included flying from Florida to Genoa, Italy and boarding the MSC Sinfonia for a 12 night cruise. Check out the pictures and journal I've posted for the trip.
What's this all about, anyway?
I love Total Solar Eclipses, and got to see my fifth one on March 29, 2006 from Libya in North Africa. For more information on solar eclipses, click here. It was a great trip. The view of the eclipse was truly awe inspiring. Follow the links below for a few of the over 2500 photos our group of eight took.
