Viking River Cruise – Part 3 – The Things We Didn’t Like
Last week I talked about the things we liked on our Viking River Cruise down the Danube, now let’s talk about the things that we didn’t love! Ok, my husband said the weather – but as I reminded him, we were in Bavaria in the winter, so yes, he needed shoes and socks and a jacket. Let me start this off by saying I am no spring chicken, as the saying goes. Both my hubby and I are 60, but we are very active and don’t sit around much. And for us the absolute worst thing was the average [...]
Viking River Cruise – Part 2 – The Best Things
I talked last week about our first Viking River Cruise and will talk about all the best things about the cruise! The absolute best thing about the river cruise was the ability to visit so many cities in one week.

Peter and I planned this river cruise of the Christmas Markets way back in late summer of 2024 which was more than a year before the actual cruise. For me it was a bucket list item to see the European Christmas Markets! Planning the cruise itself was easy and there are a LOT of river cruise companies. We chose Viking as we read a lot of great reviews and we were not disappointed with that choice [...]
Disneyland – Lightning Lane
On a recent two-day trip to Disneyland, we decided to “experiment” with Lightning Lane. We were there on Wednesday and Thursday right before Halloween. The Wednesday crowd forecast was about a 3 and on Thursday it was about a 7 (based on a scale of 1 to 10). We wanted to maximize our number of rides. Here is how it broke down: Wednesday: We purchased Lightning Lane Multi Pass along with individual Lightning Lane for Radiator Springs Racers and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. Total cost for that day was $79.75 per person. On that day we rode [...]
