Europe in the Winter…a trip dairy
We took this trip a few years ago, and will re-visit some of these sites, locations, and events this coming December. Here is the daily log: We started thinking about a winter trip to Europe after we had taken a 4-week trip to China in September 2002. Coupled...
Our Day in Juneau
We had a relaxing morning with the buffet breakfast as we overslept the earlier breakfast....or rather took too long in the room.....and as we ate we started to see the glaciers in Glacier Bay....eventually ending up in the front observation areas, going between the...
