We've been home from our latest adventure for just over three weeks. If you're at least 50 years old, love history, good food, and experiencing other cultures, then we HIGHLY recommend giving a river cruise a try. We chose the Rhine itinerary on Viking (Basel to Amsterdam) and had an incredible time. It was our first river cruise, and our first vacation with friends, aside from an occasional long weekend getaway here and there. I've decided to keep things chronological from the time COVID tossed a wrench in the works, so look for my Viking posts in a few months. (We still have to transit the Panama Canal, go back to Disney with a huge crowd, spend a few days in Rome, then cross the Atlantic before we join up with Viking.)
At the moment we're putting the final touches on our fall trip while my wife recovers from her first hip surgery. Surgery on the other hip will be after the fall trip, then we're headed back across the Atlantic in 2026 - in the opposite direction this time. Further out on the horizon we have a family trip on the books for New Year's Eve 2026 and another river cruise with Viking on the Danube in early 2028.
I hope you're not waiting to travel "one day" – that day may never come. Figure out where you want to go, what you want to do, and work out a budget.
Then do it.
