And we're away.

We're off to the airport shortly to catch our Mediterranean Cruise on the Queen Elizabeth ship.

We have taken measures against pickpockets, but on the chance that we do have a problem,  I took the opportunity to take out all kinds of "unnecessary for travel" cards from my wallet.   

Whew, now that feels much lighter.  

First stop (after a flight connection in Toronto of course)  Venice, Italy for a few days.
