Searching for the Northern Lights

It is time again, we are off on another adventure. Today is Valentine's Day and Thomas and I are leaving this afternoon for a trip to Norway. We are taking a Viking Ocean Cruise called In Search of the Northern Lights. Our cruise was scheduled in January but we got an email from Viking asking for people to volunteer to change to another date. I called them and they offered us a $3000 refund, they took care of changing our flights and we got a room upgrade from a Deluxe Veranda to the Explorer Suite. It was a deal we could not pass up. And since we are both retired it was a doable change. So we leave today and will be flying from Albuquerque to Chicago to Copenhagen to Bergen. It is going to be a long trip but we are excited.

Seeing the Northern Lights has been on our bucket list for a long time and we are hoping we get to see them. If not, we will still get to visit Norway and we are looking forward to that as well. We are traveling on the Viking Star and our cruise starts in Bergen, Norway and ends in London (Tilbury), England. It is a 13 day cruise and we will be visiting the following cities . . . Bergen, Narvik, Alta, Tromsø, Bodø and Stavanger. Our cruise passes through the Norwegian Sea and the North Sea. The cruise ends in London (Tilbury) - we don't have any time to visit here since once the ship docks we have to make our way to the airport for our flights home. We are both looking forward to this trip and we are keeping our fingers crossed that we see the Northern Lights.
