    October 22, 2021 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 55 °F

    Back in Nov 2019, I gave a presentation to members of RayLen Wine Club to join me on an adventure through the Rhone River wine region. Some days I never thought this trip would get here, but here we are. Lots of hurdles and hoops, but in less than 3 days 15 of us should be on our way. All are vaccinated, Covid testing either done or scheduled. Bags packed and luggage tags ready for our flights. Friends and family coming from 4 states... so excited to see everyone and share this adventure with 1st time river cruisers and veterans.
    Follow along, maybe next year you'll join us.
