My mom asked me back in February if I'd like to go on a Christmas cruise down the Danube River. Are you KIDDING?? Think I'd turn down a trip like that?? No way!!
Our friend, Margie Turner, did a fantastic job of organizing the trip (she started the process in February). At the last minute, because of some health concerns, she had to stay home. That was the ONLY disappointment we experienced on the trip.
Our crew ended up being a very congenial group of ladies. There were 4 moms & daughters on the trip & 7 other ladies. There were 9 of us from Granbury, 1 from Fort Worth, 1 from Dallas, 1 from McKinney, 1 from New Braunfels, 1 from Pearsall & 1 from Virginia.
Mom & I left home about 11 this AM. We met some of our traveling partners at the church building. One of the girl's husband drove us in the church bus to the airport. We picked up one of our girls in FW & met a few others at the airport.
We flew from D/FW to Frankfurt, Germany. It was a long overnight flight. We departed at 4:30 PM & arrived at 8 AM. We had a 4 1/2 hour wait for the short flight to Nuremberg. We were met at the airport by the Grand Circle travel guide & a tour bus. They took us to the ship. We had time to unpack, get settled in, rest a bit, then it was dinner time. We had an extravagant 7 course meal. Everyone was worn out, so we all retired soon after we finished eating.
