And, another cruise is booked!

After the Ovation of the Seas cruise, the list of upcoming holidays reduced to three - the Tasmania cruise in December, New Zealand in February, and then the Southampton to Dubai cruise in October.
But, soon afterwards, I was talking to Paul about the disappointments with our previous Mediterranean cruise, and the fact that the October cruise won't solve two of the big ones - we missed out on going to Turkey, and because of that change the cruise also didn't go to Malta.  And, I said to him that if I ever came across a reasonably priced cruise that went to both places, I'd jump at it.   But, most cruise lines haven't yet started going to Turkey again, and even when they were going to Turkey it wasn't all that common to go to both Malta and Turkey on the same cruise.
Basically, I was just joking, thinking it would never happen.
So of course, within a week, I came across a Princess cruise in October 2020 that goes to both Turkey and Malta, and as well as this, also goes to Santorini (which I'd love to see again) and a number of other interesting places.  I was just astounded - and so, it's booked!  No idea what else we'll do; hopefully we'll still be up for a bit of extra travel in the UK and Europe as well as the cruise!
