Ride the Waves in 2010!

 Possibly the most exciting news is that my Writing the Waves Trans-Atlantic cruise this past  April/May was such a smash hit that I'm hosting another writing cruise next spring. The dates are  April 10 - 24, 2010. We depart from Miami, and arrive in Rome by way of the Canary Islands, Barcelona,  the south of France and Florence or Piza (your choice.) The cruise prices begin at $1,377 including the  complete 9 day writing course. That's less than $100 per day. Non-writing spouses or roommates are $500 less. Air  fare not included.
