My bags are packed and my wife Jean is still pondering what to take on this 14 day trip on the Regatta liner of Oceania Cruises. This trip will start in Venice, and include visits to Dubrovnik (Croatia), the island of Corfu (Greece), through the straits of Messina, Sorrento (on the isle of Capri, Italy), Amalfi to Positano (Italy), Rome, the Island of Elba (Italy, where Napoleon escaped from), Florence, Portofino (Italy), Monte Carlo (Monaco), Provence (France), Palma De Mallorca (Spain), and on to our final port, Barcelona. The Regatta is sold out, which is no wonder with such an interesting itinerary. I will post pictures after our return.

3pm EST
I will be broadcasting live from the ship. My guests will be officers of the ship and of course the Executive Chef.

4pm EST
Luke Mangan, one of Australia's best known and most talented chefs. Luke specializes in Asian cuisine. I have had the great pleasure to dine with Luke at his Sidney Restaurant, Salt, and watch his television series Appetizing Adventures on Dish Network. We will talk about his best selling cookbook, Luke Mangan Classics.

Ed Perkins, syndicated travel writer will share interesting tidbits of travel news to round out the second hour of the show.
