Afraid so

All of the above American travel is subject to not being "Banned" by the Donald or following the move to not visit the USA until further notice

LOL- survived and now over 3k since departing on the Day of the Dead, Jan 20th! The Prius has averaged almost 50 mpg and now over 100k on the clock

Lots of local driving all over SW Arizona. NEXT week, I have booked a rental car to drive to Palm Springs for a few days for "Modernism Week"....should be very cool for this fan of mid-century design....houses, cars, furniture, etc.

I was able to steal this pic from one of his Facebook posts. Maybe you can get some info from a Google search. He said this was a 6 day cruise out of Bergen, though they were gone 12 or so days total.

Gene has the details pretty correct...for ONCE. We booked our trip via Vacations To Go, which is Hurtigruten's booking agent....handled flights from EWR to/from Oslo; train to Bergen; 6 night passage up the coast visiting many ports, great fresh fish etc; 2 nights in Kirkenes in the Arctic Circle (next to Finland/Russian border ); and SAS domestic flight back to Oslo. Our trip was last August and we loved it. Cost was not cheap, but much less than a larger cruise line....all costs considered. Send me a PM if/when you have more questions, Deb...or we can chat about it at SF '17

We love Vacations to Go. We've booked over a dozen cruises through them. A great way to spend quality time with our kids as they grew up. Last cruise (in June) was in the Baltic Sea, and Vacations to Go found airfares for far less than we were seeing on line.

This looks kinda interesting. Maybe a road trip, one day.

Just saw this. How can you spend the month of March in FL? You won't be able to watch the Habs!

Ireland is still in the picture as well.

Had a great time in Phoenix in spite of a driving rain and wind storm Sat and Sun. VERY unusual. Arabian Horse Show was cool. The +1 looked like a drowned rat after his race on Sun AM.
