Ports of call

Tunis, Tunisia

how often do you get ot visit Northen Africa? Really cool and shcklingly nice people. The street vendors are quite annoying, but just tell then no and they go away.
Don't Miss: Carthage ruins.

Barcelona, Spain

3 out of 5
In some ways, just a big city, but really nice architecture and fun loving people.

Palermo, Sicily

3 out of 5

Pros: Intersting ports of call that you can't get on a U.S. sailing and an opportunity to be a minority American in an unfamiliar European culture. It was great for the kids to be in an environment where English was a third or fourth priority.

Cons: Europeans do not queue, but just get over it and enjoy yourself! Food a little weord sometimes, but again, lighten up and do something different.
