And when they do . . .
I don't know about anyone else, but when i have a dream come true, I squeal.
Loudly.
And then, when the wish involves travel, I start planning.
Even when the wish trip is over a year away.
Donald and I are taking a Christmas on the Seine river cruise. Next year.
Plenty of time to plan.
And to be excited!
We won't be cruising during Christmas, but we will be cruising during the season, and (from Viking) will be able to "Embrace the holiday season with a taste of Joyeux Noel. Explore Paris, France’s twinkling “City of Light.” Sail through the snow-covered landscapes of Normandy’s countryside and admire the scenes of fairy-tale villages along the way. Enjoy the scented aroma of mulled wine and roasted chestnuts amid a festive backdrop of Christmas markets. Onboard festivities include regional dining specialties, seasonal treats and more to celebrate the holidays."
Squeeee!
I know some of you hate winter, hate snow, and this cruise would not interest you in the least. Might even sound like a circle of hell.
Donald and I, however, are tickled pink and excited. This is a dream trip for us.
So.
Anyone who has taken a winter river cruise - we're accepting all suggestions. Especially on clothes we should be prepared to take with us. Thankfully, living in the mountains means we're used to cold weather and are fairly well stocked with winter gear. Still, packing for an 8 day winter cruise with a few stops for excursions along the way will present challenges.
In the meantime . . .
Squeeeeeeeee!!!!!

Oh, Kaye! I'm so excited for you and Donald. My sister, Linda, has been on a couple Viking river cruises & loves them. This just sounds so romantic! I can't wait for you to go and enjoy it! You know I don't like cold, but this sounds wonderful!
Thank you, Lesa. I am SO EXCITED!!!!!
Sounds wonderful! And a great opportunity for photos!
What a lovely idea! I love winter but hate the cold. I love snow but never can seem to be warm enough in winter. That said--this is a dream! Michael and I were supposed to do the City of Lights river cruise in 2020 and cancelled it twice. Can't wait to hear about how much fun you had and how magical the whole thing was.
Vicki - Women with cameras thinking alike!!!!!!
We've never done a river cruise, and this sounds like a trip we will both love. So excited!!!
Oh Kaye, this sounds absolutely perfect to me! I would love to go on a winter cruise. I've thought about Philip and I doing one sometime, but I'm not sure what one I'd want to do. Christmas time seems like an ideal time to do it. I'm so thrilled for you and Donald. I know this will definitely be a dream come true.
Kathy, SO many choices!!!! I have talked and talked and talked about wanting to do Christmas in Paris at some point, and then this river cruise option popped onto our radar. Kismet! I cannot wait!
