The Lytle's Cruisin' Since 2011

This blog has become a part of history since our first Mediterranean Cruise experience in 2011 with the original Lytle Crew (Amy, Jamie, Emily, Uncle Chris and Aunt "Momma" Sue) and we are happy to say that we get to continue with our new cruise adventure this year. We will continue to fill this blog with our witty banter of the experiences and escapades we will encounter of this new Mediterranean Cruise. Our new additions to this "ain't broke, don't fix it" club are Michael, Karen, Grandma and Aunt Carolyn. We hope you enjoy both of our (2011 and 2015) across the Atlantic vagabondage as we set sail for another once in a lifetime experience with the people we hold most dear to our hearts (family).

Over the Moon

Day 1 (6/18/11)

The journey begins, day one of the Lytle Mediterranean Cruise 2011 starts with a curb side pickup in a luxury BMW with the nickname of “Frida”.  The voyage from Oakland airport to LAX was delightful except for a minor juvenile disturbance in the seats behind me luckily the flight was only an hour long.  Uncle Chris and Amy were overjoyed and jumping with enthusiasm to see their beautiful, talented relatives while Aunt Sue took a necessary snooze at the glorious ocean viewed condo.  This vacation couldn’t have started any better, after arriving at the lovely Redondo condo activities ensued with a beach bike ride in perfect weather along the bike path at the Redondo strand.  After this family activity, this motley crew settled down to watch “The Prince of Egypt” before a wonderful ravioli and green bean dinner that Aunt Sue prepared with love and tenderness.  As an extra bonus a dessert of caramel swirled delicious ice cream was devoured after an already marvelous dinner.  Amy got some necessary girl time with a lovely sparkly manicured nails designed by Emily.
New York City is our next stop and we have to leave bright and early, so bedtime has become an early endeavor to be able to wake up at promptly 4 am.

To my next post in the Big Apple,
Jamie, Amy, Emily, Aunt Sue and Uncle Chris
