And now for something completely different…northern Europe in luxury

A week from today, I will be walking the shores of Greenland.

  
In my heart, I am far more well-traveled than is actually true. Fifty-four years have come and gone and I have visited just five countries: the United States, Canada, Mexico, Peru, and Honduras. That number is about to grow significantly, as my parents and I embark today on Holland America’s Voyage of the Vikings cruise. Our route will take us to Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, the Netherlands, Ireland, and the United Kingdom (and back again) over the next 35 days.

The ship sails from Boston at 11 p.m. tonight, headed to Bar Harbor, Maine tomorrow. More soon!
