Wow, Angie, what great trips.
The closest I've ever been to the South Pacific is San Diego! But I have done Mediterranean cruises. Since I start in the UK, we didn't go across the Atlantic, and none of them involved a stop in north Africa. But some of the other stops are familiar - especially Barcelona. Finally took the family there - flew! - for a week a few years ago. What a fascinating and beautiful city. On my first visit to Sagrada Familia I had had my doubts, so much hype, but I was truly awed. It is a truly magnificent creation. Love all of Gaudi's buildings.
