They will send me flowers.

Something has just been brought to my attention (thank you Elizabeth!!!) and it may affect your post cruise plans.

Easter 2018 is Sunday April 1st.

This also means we arrive in Venice on March 30th / Good Friday..

Just wanted you to know what I know.

Plan accordingly.

It will be tough to miss Easter morning with two small kids at home but now I can look into what church we can attend Easter mass at in Venice!

We did midnight Christmas mass at St Mark's. We had to line up for it but it was quite an experience.

Do you remember about how far in advance you got there?

We lined up an hour ahead and were close to the front of the line. They had us line up right in front of the main doors in the square. But it was midnight, Christmas time, and several years ago, so I'm not sure how applicable the info is. It was a beautiful experience though.

Thanks for the info!! I'll do some more research on it before this trip.

Now all I keep thinking about is the reason I signed up for this trip Gelato!

@DisneyKevin was the glass blowing demonstration in Venice an ABD thing or something you & John set up for us? We would love to do that again if possible. Is it something we could do on our own or a group of us that are interested set up?

Just finished watching Inferno on DVD...yes not everyone watches that game everyone was talking about...the Florence and Venice scenes brought back such great memories and reinforced the need to return to Italy.

I still haven't seen it, but definitely need to now that I have Italy back on the brain!! And maybe watch Angels & Demons again...

Chris, I can't believe you are not watching the commercials! They are the only reason I'm tuning in to the game. Inferno is on my list to watch at some point.

This was something ABD set up.

I believe the name of the place is Laguna Murano Glass Castello 4328

If you are standing in front of St Marks and walk down the left side...it is back there somewhere.
