They like river cruises. They were going to do the upper Danube (again) last year, but the Brussels airport bombing cancelled it.
Went on a Holland American cruise this past spring and had a wonderful time. Never saw ANYTHING like that video showed. People from all over the world were on that same ship and everyone behaved like civilized adults the entire time. Too bad certain folks just can’t control themselves or their tempers.
I love their commercials! Every time I see it, I recall that I visited at least half of the places.
I'm trying to make up my mind. Any cruise I take would have to have the Mosel on its itinerary, as I lived in Traben-Trarbach for four years. The beauty of French and Italy wine regions has complicated my decision.
What to do???
I punted...new plan is to save my money for 2020, when the Passion Play is presented in Oberammergau. I'll save up my money for a two month vacation in Germany, renting an apartment for two months near Traben-Trarbach, and use that as a base of operations for the summer.
I may take advantage of buying a Volvo, and picking it up at the factory in Sweden, drive it during the summer, and shipping it back to the States. I did that many years ago, and it was a great trip in itself.
I've got vacation spots picked out in the preceding years, such as excursions to wineries in Oregon, Washington, California, and Colorado.
