Okay, we lied... not that kind of SPAM, email "spam."

Every now and then it's a good idea to click on the spam email box, just to see what kind of garbage we're collecting... mostly travel offers, promos, and discounts on trips. Yesterday evening an email from TravelZoo popped up in the spam folder, it was on cruises. Discounts for the 2012-2013 cruise year for Alaskan cruises, Caribbean cruises, Mediterranean cruises... Naturally curiosity led us to see what Mediterranean offers were available. Wouldn't you know, there is a 12-Day Grand Mediterranean Norwegian Cruise on their ship "Spirit," scheduled to leave the port of BARCELONA on August 2. Coincidence that we will be in Barcelona at that same time?!

We joked about it for a second, and then crunched some numbers... Shortening our AirBnB stay in Barcelona would save us almost $600. Deducting that from the total price of a 12-day cruise (which is already half off) actually SAVES US MONEY! The only down side is it leaves Barcelona, and finishes in Venice, Italy... bummer we now have to find a room in Venice for the night!

First thing this morning we decided to: adjust our stay in Barcelona from 19 days to six, book the Grand Mediterranean cruise, change our EasyJet flight to take us from Venice to London instead of Barcelona, and book an AirBnB room in Venice for the night.
