Betty and Margo thank you for your valuable suggestions. I appreciate the warning about pick pockets as I was not aware this was a problem in Barcelona. The Eyewitness Guide is a good idea and should help us decide if we want to use the bus system or if one of the ship's tours will work for us. I used an Eyewitness Guide in Stockholm when we did our Baltic cruise and found it to be very helpful. I should probably order them for Rome and Florence too!
