First of all on this Monday morning, Happy Birthday to my co-writer, good friend and sister, Suzanne! \u00a0Like a good wine, you’re getting better with age, Sis.<\/p>\n

Now that I’m not paying 95 cents\/minute to access WiF, I decided to extend Suzanne’s writing vacation another week with what I believe are some of our more interesting photos from the trip – hope you think so too. \u00a0I might add that I’m thankful that the trip ended when it did, I was on my last belt notch!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The itinerary: The cruise embarked from Hamburg, Germany and we got off in Edinburgh prior to the ship returning to Hamburg.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>A rare moment in Bergen, Norway when all six of us were upright on our Segways.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>That one sunny day in Norway when the ship’s pools were use.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>While cruising out of Reykjavik to Akureyri, Iceland through the Arctic Circle this photograph was taken at sunset. What makes it so unusual is that it was a little past midnight!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

About 4 hours after that beautiful sunset was this beautiful sunrise<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Double rainbow coming down hole #18 at the Old Course, St. Andrews, Scotland<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s me having a glass of wine and smoking a Cuban cigar in the backyard at our VRBO in St. Andrews with all my friends. \u00a0Yes, that’s a bunker – there were plastic golf balls and sand wedges available to practice how frustrating it is to get out of a St. Andrews sand trap.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The last supper together with all 10 in our group. \u00a0A pleasure to travel once again with John & Mary Bellham and to meet their friends Steen and Sue, and a really special thank you to Jack & JJ and John & Judy for being such GREAT travel partners.<\/p>\n

Thank you to all our blog readers for joining us and hope you’re looking forward to the next adventure, wherever that takes us.<\/p>\n
