​Budapest and the Danube River, here we come!
This year, our traveling group is a little smaller—just Linda C., Kathleen, and me. We’ll certainly miss the others, and we hope they’ll be able to join us on future adventures.

After much thought and planning, we decided on a river cruise with Trafalgar Cruises along the beautiful Danube River. Our journey begins in Budapest, and Linda and I have chosen to arrive a couple of days early so we can explore more of this fascinating city before the cruise begins. We’re looking forward to meeting up with Kathleen once we’re on board.
​
As we make our way down the river, we’ll be stopping in Bratislava, Vienna, Spitz, and Linz before disembarking in Passau, Germany.

We hope you’ll enjoy following along as we set off on this year’s adventure. I’ll do my best to post updates each day, although there are no guarantees!  The buttons on the page will change color to let you know that a new entry has been posted. We hope you will enjoy following us virtually as we explore the Danube River!
​
Until then, please join us in wishing our little group safe travels and wonderful memories.
