Salute! Dave & Sharlene Quinter Travel Page


Here are some of our recent cruises and land trips.
Sharlene and I really enjoy cruising and meeting people.  

2009 Holy Land and Egypt Cruise

Cyprus, Israel (Nazareth and Jerusalem), Egypt (Cairo, Gaza & Alexandria), Rhodes, Sirince Turkey and Istanbul!

 

Here we are in Jerusalem riding a camel. Our guide said that negotiating the price in Egypt was too much of a hassle. You might have to pay $50 to get on and $250 to get off. So we decided a camel is a camel and we rode this one in Israel, just outside the walled city of Jerusalem.

We had a great time! Flew into Athens and boarded the ship for our cruise. Walked in the footsteps of Jesus through the Holy Land, went into the Pyramids of the Pharos in Egypt, the castles of the Templar Knights on Rhodes and visited the capital of the Byzantine empire,  Constantinople.

We flew to Madrid for a one week bus tour of Spain. From Madrid we journeyed to Toledo, Granada, the Costa Del Sol, Gibraltar, the hill town of Rhonda, Seville, Granada and back to Madrid. As you can see from the picture we had a diverse group of traveling companions. Click on the picture for more pictures and story of our cross country Globus coach tour.

 


 


In 2000 we went to Tahiti in August for Sharlene's Birthday.

We had a great time and met some wonderful people.  

 

For our Tahiti trip we flew from Atlanta to LA and then to Tahiti where we boarded the Renaissance cruise ship and cruised five Island's in French Polynesia. We visited Tahiti, Moorea, Huahine, Raiatea and Bora Bora. About a month before the cruise was to begin we joined an Internet group of 30 other cruisers and formed the Cruisers Club. This was one of our most unique cruise experiences! Click here to find out why.

 

Santorini - Greek Isles

 
In September of 1999 we cruised with Orient Cruise Line aboard the Marco Polo. We flew to Istanbul, cruised down the Turkish coast to Ephesus, then the Greek Isles, Mykonos, Santorini, & Delos, and on to Malta, Sorrento Italy and finally to Rome. We spent two days before the cruise in Istanbul and another two days after the cruise in Rome. What a great trip!

One of Dave's interest has always been railroading. So, he's building a Garden Railway in the backyard. Take a look at the railroad page he's building.


  A couple of '98 events on the site are our cruise with the Colby's and our high school reunion.

We looked forward to vacationing with Bob and Lin for more than a year. The cruise was wonderful. We flew to London and cruised to Rome. We enjoyed a two day pre-cruise stay in London and a two day post cruise stay in Rome.

We are continuing to build our site to communicate with our family and friends. We'll tell our stories with words and pictures. I like pictures and Sharlene likes words. We would like to link to anyone who has a Home page or Web Site. We'll share your stories and pictures on our site.


We are also collecting pictures of our family and friends. Some of the pictures have been emailed to us and others have been scanned in.

The link to the Web Camera page back.

I'm planning a page that tells how I built the pages and some of the tips and tricks I've learned along the way.
