Norway, here I come!

Five years ago Kermit and I celebrated our 20th anniversary onboard the Disney MAGIC.  We sailed out of Barcelona and visited ports in Spain, Italy and France.  It was probably my all time favorite trip–at least so far!  In just 43 days Kermit and I will be departing for a trip that could give our Med cruise a run for the money!  We will once again be on the Disney MAGIC (celebrating our 25th anniversary!) but this time headed to Norway, Iceland and England!  I have wanted to visit Scandinavia for as long as I can remember so this is really a dream come true!  Plus, this cruise is a little longer than our Med cruise (12 nights) with four sea days–all in all it seems like the perfect trip to me!!!  Here’s a map of the journey….

For our 2011 cruise I booked almost 18 months in advance and spent the entire time planning!  I wrote a detailed trip report when we returned and posted it on one my favorite discussion boards.  Here’s a link in case you want to check it out!!

Trip Report from our 2011 20th anniversary Med Cruise!

This time around I was offered a fantastic travel agent rate–LAST MONTH!  So I only have about 3 months planning time for this one!  I have been trying hard to research, read reviews and plan, all while getting my kids ready for prom, spring sports and graduation!  I have ordered a bunch of Rick Steves books (my favorite!!) and spent hours watching videos on YouTube.  I want to be as prepared and educated as I can be before we leave!

Have you visited this part of the world before??  I would love to hear your ideas and suggestions on what we should see or do!  If you have any “can’t miss” attractions please let me know about them!  I have 43 days to get organized!!  🙂
