Cruising the Baltic

We start in Stockholm and end up in Bergen.

Viking Cruises--Viking Homelands

Pre-trip. Packing continues to be a challenge for me. I'm the one who often travels in a 32' motor home, alone. I like to bring everything, including the kitchen sink. I have found that there is not room for that in one suitcase! This cruise will last for 15 days with weather ranging from the low 50's with rain to the high 80's and sun. Fortunately for me, there are no formal days on this ship so I can leave a few things at home. In this day of tech things, I face increased challenges with devices & chargers.


I've tried to write on this blog several times before but become frustrated with my inability to upload photos & then get out of the habit of writing. I will try again.
