  • Time to say Goodbye

    July 22, 2022 in Sweden ⋅ 🌙 88 °F

    After 30 days, we have packed our bags and said goodbye to the crew members that we have come to love. The Viking Mars has had its A team on the field for this entire cruise. Not one detail was missed and they treated us like we were royalty. It is hard to say goodbye to such genuinely good people. We were blessed to have some of the crew members from our world cruise and that reunion has been very sweet. Captain Knutsen and Lara coming aboard in Bergen was just icing on the cake.Read more

  • The continuing saga of the mint jelly

    July 23, 2022 in Sweden ⋅ ⛅ 57 °F

    The mint jelly saga continues.

    So Chuck and I never check a bag and I forgot that the mint jelly weighed too much for a liquid. We go through security and they tell me I have to open my bag because I have a liquid in it and I couldn’t figure out what it was. We open up the bag and there’s the mint jelly . So I either have to give up the mint jelly, or go out of security, back to the line to check in, check my bag, and then come back through the whole security thing again. Yep, I went out , checked the bag and came back through security. I’ve been patted down twice, x-rayed twice and everything inspected twice but my mint jelly is on its way to Raleigh Durham.

    PS Chuck said to write this:

    And the entire hour that I was gone doing what I had to do to keep a 6 ounce jar of mint jelly , Chuck was patiently waiting outside of security. And when it was all over, and I came walking through security a second time, my dear sweet husband said “It’s all right, dear.” 😂😂😂😂
