    Somewhere over the Atlantic

    25. december 2019, North Atlantic Ocean ⋅ 🌧 9 °C

    RDU is the way to go, easy drive down 40, quick stop for breakfast, 'fast park' parking lot for 7.00 a day and shuttle pick up right at your car, drop off at the front door. Then AA's self check in and luggage tagged to Munich. Then comes TSA... we didn't have pre check, but didn't need it either... all lines opened and about 1/2 dozen people there. Down to our gate with 2 hours to wait. So what do you do with 2 hours to kill... walk, get those steps in because you'll be sitting for hours. Off on time to CLT where we arrived too early our gate was occupied. Only waited 10 minutes then taxied in. Arrived at gate B9 and our flight to Munich leaves from gate B9... another route takes our plane, now we wait, walk, find a place to grab a cold beer and quick bite. Back to B concourse with hundreds of people, you'd think you might know a few , then here comes Sally and James Kimball... off to PHL for a few days. Merry Christmas!!Læs mere

    Christmas in Munich

    25. december 2019, Tyskland ⋅ 🌧 4 °C

    2 pre nights/day before our cruise; we are going to see and do as much as we can, even inspite of the rain and wind. Today after landing early, quick customs and baggage claim, we headed to the Lufthansa Express (57 EU for 2 roundtrip transferes) to take us from airport to center city then short taxi ride to the Westin Grand. So glad rooms were available for early checkin; we could drop our luggage, changes clothes then head to the Cathedral of Munich were we enjoyed the celebration of Christmas Day liturgy with their Cardinal, 2 Bishops, priests and Deacons. Yes, it was in German, but we could follow along with the help of the liturgy aids. After, and now in the rain, we wondered around the Marianplatz to see the cleanup from their Christmas Markets, listen to the Glockenspiel play at 12N, and find a nice little place for some great German food and beer. Walked back to the hotel, still raining, but we did it. Great day, so ready for a full night sleep and praying for a bit of sunshine tomorrow. Enjoying the journey!!!Læs mere

    St. Nicholas delivered our travel docs

    25. december 2019, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 4 °C

    This year work has been busy, challenging but also rewarding. I love to travel and help others explore all parts of this world; Europe, Africa, S. America, Alaska, Hawaii, Australia & New Zealand - by land or by sea. I too have been blessed with opportunities to travel: Italy in April and a beautiful River Cruise in August. I have made wonderful friends, shared with and received from them great insight to help me forge ahead in my career. I thank them all for what I have learned and experienced in 2019 and pray 2020 we all will be richly blessed and grateful.
    Over the past 18 months I have had the privilege of booking a number of clients on AmaWaterways River Cruises. And in tour, Ama has offered agents: sell 5, sail free! Well hard work does pay-off. I requested a cruise for post Christmas into the New Year on the Danube and was granted it. So excited to be able to take my sister, Peggy with me, and Jerry (our minion).
    As a travel agent, I have choices of suppliers to use that best fit my client's needs and provide them with memorable experiences. I hope this trip will be filled with new experiences and knowledge to bring back to my clients as well as renewed spirit to be a strong agent for years to come.    Læs mere

    Full day of walking and riding the metro

    26. december 2019, Tyskland ⋅ ☀️ 3 °C

    Coffee in the room with our profiteroles we picked up for dessert. Headed out to try our luck with the metro. Not bad for 2 girls from King, NC. Got a one day, all day pass. Made our way to Munchner EisZauber - the outdoor ice skating rink. Peggy had a blast, didn't fall once though got some assistance from a skating bear!!! Next stop the Hi-Sky ferris wheel. Amazing view when you are rounding the highest. Getting to be lunchtime here, and I'm ready for a bier, but Peggy wanted to climb to the to of St. Peter's... I won, too long a line... though the Viktualenmarkt and Biergardens were closed the day after the holiday, found an open air restaurant that had awesome food and beer!! Walked off the white wursts and currywurst while we wandered our way back to St Peter's church only to find a longer line than before. Beautiful day but not much open. Stopped for a few pretzels and strudel for later, then back to the hotel. Let's see what tonight brings!!!Læs mere

    Passau

    28. december 2019, Østrig ⋅ ⛅ 1 °C

    Woke up to a beautiful morning, 34° but sunny. Decided to take 1 last walk through Vilshofen before breakfast. Quiet town this time of day, or it could be the time of year. After enjoying an omelet and pastries, Peggy decided to use one of Ama's bikes and set off for a ride before we headed to Passau, I grabbed another cup of coffee and enjoyed the upper deck.
    Cruising for a few hours, we arrived at the first lock which then puts us into Passau. After lunch we meet our local guides for the city walking tour (for me) or hike to the Church of St. Mary (Peggy's adventure). Beautiful sites, churches, views along the river.
    Tonight we dined at the chef's table and had a great experience, over about 2 hours enjoyed this 7 course meal from pre-appetizer to soup to main course with sorbet between (to cleanse the palate of course) and wines to enhance every bite.
    Evening entertainment played in the lounge, but I had a pillow calling my name. We will cruise during the night to arrive in Linz, 1st stop in Austria.    Læs mere

    Linz Austria and Cesky Krumlov,Czech

    29. december 2019, Østrig ⋅ ☀️ 0 °C

    Beautiful day on the Danube starting with a walk to Mass for the Holy Family, biking along the Danube and walking through Cesky Krumlov, Czech.... so we can check off Czech on our must visit list.
    Beautiful city rich in history and cobblestone. Tough walk, but found a nice little 'heated patio' restaurant for a couple of beers, goulash soup and potato pancakes. Quiet drive back to Linz for cocktail hour and dinner. Main dining room featured Mustered Crusted Leg of Lamb... amazing!
    During the wee hours of the night we will begin our journey through the Wachau Valley to Durnstein.    Læs mere

    Durnstein

    30. december 2019, Østrig ⋅ ☀️ 1 °C

    What happened to Monday? I could say we were so busy I forgot to post, didn't have internet access, having too much to be bothered, in all honesty - too much wine... all day and night.
    Monday morning we spent cruising through the Wachau Valley to Weissenkirchen (white church).
    I started to go on the bike of the town and neighboring vineyards, but my knee told me otherwise. So I took the Apricot and Sweet tour and helped the economy of this small town of Durnstein. Back onboard, tasty beverage to the heated pool, then we had a lovely cocktail hour and off to dinner. Evening included excursion was a wine tasting at a local tasting room. Brisk walk there and back to the ship and I'm off for a solid 6 hrs sleep! Next day; New Year's Eve plenty to see and do as we enter the Imperial City of Vienna.    Læs mere

    New Year's Eve day in Vienna

    31. december 2019, Østrig ⋅ ☀️ 7 °C

    What a beautiful city; chaotic, crazy, colorful and very cool! Sun was warming a little but we still bundled up against the breeze and single digit temperatures (celcius). Guided coach and walking tour, free time at the last of their Christmas Markets for the year and a cup of warm cider with a little something, something in it! Back to the ship to rest a bit (and eat) then off again. The afternoon was free to explore and see 1,000s of people. Ama offered shuttle service to and from city center all afternoon and evening. Made it back to St Stephen Cathedral, prayed for the blessings of the past year, prayed for those who have come into our lives and those who have left us.
    Continued to maneuver around the center but this is where Vienna was setting up for their midnight celebration. Back on board we grabbed a cocktail to go and headed for the pool...not as warm as the other day, but relaxed the muscles a bit. Enjoyed a traditional Austrian dinner of Schnitzel and Strudel!
    Closing in on midnight we went back to the lounge for music and dancing, but the best was the fireworks. Not just from one area, but all around us. Amazing!!
    So hears to 2020! May it be filled with love, laughter, peace, joy and adventures to enrich your life and fill you soul.    Læs mere
