When first planning our European trip, Venice, was at the top of our list. I had heard very unflattering reports of the city being smelly, crowded, and overrated. My review is of a somewhat more flattering nature. I'm totally smitten with the sinking city.
Don't you just love those summer days that beg for attention? Today was one of those beautiful days where you felt compelled to be outdoors. An eighty-degree day, filled with plenty of sunshine, and a perfect day to be in Minnesota.
Have you ever walked past something your whole life and never really appreciated it? I felt like this the minute I started to paddle board out in the middle of the lake all alone. A place I love but I have not really spent that much time getting to know personally.
When I first learned of the opportunity to cruise through Northern Europe and Russia with Princess Cruises, I didn't exactly know how to feel. Excited, nervous, and intrigued all come back to mind. I have been very fortunate to experience travel through Central Europe as a young adult. Scandinavia is definitely, a big part of the world I was missing.
I love blogging. When I first launched the blog, I was beyond shy about it. I didn't have a clue what I was doing. Not to mention I had no idea where I stood regarding social media. What was I doing? Two years later, and I still scratch my head some days. But I love it, and I'm here to stay. I'm answering a few of the most asked questions on C+M. So here goes nothing.
