Behind The Scenes: The Jetsetters

Santorini, Greece, with my boys!

The inspiration for the Splendido Marveloso...our first peek at the massive ship in Athens, Greece.

Rhodes, Greece, where we walked around "Old Town," but the Perkins family headed to the beach.

New and ancient...our ship docked in Valetta, Malta.

The boys and I on a hot tour of Malta!

A cooking class in Sicily inspired the scene of Regan's meltdown in a Sicilian courtyard.

In pajamas on a cruise ship balcony...my happiest place!

Lovely Sorrento, Italy.

An Italian feast!

The boys and I enjoy gelato in Rome after our Colosseum tour.

The boys outside the arena in Aix-en-Provence where a certain famous artist attended bullfights regularly...sometimes with young girlfriends.

The Dulceria in Barcelona that inspired the final chapter of The Jetsetters.

Happiness in a Barcelona street. I bought this fake bag from a street vendor, just like Charlotte thinks of doing on her day tour.

A home, I pulled out my maps and papers and happily got to work on The Jetsetters!
