Today, on Remembrance Day, we pause to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice so that we may live in a world of freedom and peace. At Kean2Travel, we are reminded of one such hero whose legacy is a part of our own history — Joseph Frederick Kean.

Joseph served with unwavering bravery in World War I, a conflict that took him far from the comforts of home to the harsh battlefields of Europe. He fought with courage, giving everything he had, until he laid down his life for the future he would never see — a future filled with freedom, hope, and the joys of exploring the world without fear.

Because of heroes like Joseph, we are privileged today to travel across borders, experience diverse cultures, and witness the beauty of this vast world. His sacrifice, and the sacrifices of countless others, have gifted us the precious freedom to live, to love, and to journey without restraint.

As we travel the world, let us carry their memory with us, honoring their courage and remembering that the peace we enjoy today was hard-won. May we never take for granted the ultimate price paid by those like Joseph Frederick Kean, whose love for his country and his fellow man knew no bounds.

Today, we remember. Today, we give thanks. Lest we forget.

We arrived in Lisbon, Portugal this morning and took a small group excursion 3 couples only with to Sintra - Pina Palace and Quinta da Regaliera. Great sites and outing out of Lisbon . Rained off and on and lots of steps( over 12,000) and lots of climbing . But well worth it.
Now back to ship to pack and final dinner onboard. Back to reality and diet starts tomorrow lol.
Thank you Azamara for a wonderful Intensive Spain 🇪🇸 cruise. You offer a great smaller ship cruise experience with great port intensive itineraries .
Call me if you would like more information on Azamara Cruises.

We had a great 2 nights /2 days in Seville , Spain on the Azamara Onward.
Our first day we did a Tapas tour with
Our guide Carolina was awesome . Highly recommend.
Then it was time for our hop on hop off tour of Seville which started at Plaza de Espana which you will see from my pics is amazing. Also where Star Wars Attack of the Clones on Nobu was filmed.
Over 30,000 steps in 2 days and still had energy for the famous Azamara White Night.,
What a wonderful evening they put on for us . Might have to make a seperate post just for this. Azamara knows how to do it right . Just ask me about all of Azamara wonderful itineraries .

So I have to back up a day to our last stop . Fascinating Gibraltar . Otherwise known as “The Rock of Gibralter” it is a British Overseas Territory and headland , on Spain’s south coast. The rock is a 426m high limestone ridge. Layers of fortifications include the remains of a 14 th century Moorish Castle and the 18 th century Great Siege tunnels (55 km in total ) in which we toured part of. We also took in St Michael’s Cave with it staligmites and a light show to boot. Had the macaque monkeys jump all over our touring vehicle - quite harmless and we walked across the airport 🛫runway to say we did. Lol. A truly fascinating stop on any cruise itinerary if you get the chance.

Today we had a partial at sea day after leaving fascinating Gibraltar last night. More on Gibraltar coming up so stay tuned! We cruised up the Guadalquivir River in Spain . Approx 50 kms from the usual cruise port of Cadiz up the river to Seville our stop for the next two nights. Yes with Azamara you enjoy longer time in ports and overnight stops. A true bonus to small ship intensive cruising! Call me if you would like to find out more.
