A Book About Northern Europe

A client planning a Baltic Sea Cruise with his three sons aboard Regal Princess asked me about shore excursions, which of course sent me back to my blog to refresh my memories of our family trip there.

It seems I wrote a "book" about that vacation, too.

It started with an overnight pre-cruise stay in Copenhagen, and as I concluded back then, "We managed to see a lot of Copenhagen despite...could it be?....only being there about 28 hours, including the time we were asleep. Time flies when you're having fun, but you can pack a lot of fun into time if you pay attention."
