Rare jpalbny Posted April 1, 2016 #2 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Good luck not getting too excited this weekend! As I said before, we're just 2 days behind you into AMS Friday morning, stopping by on our way through to Budapest. We will be packing this afternoon as well, but we have 3 or 4 more days of work before flying out. Right now the big decision is whether or not to take Thursday off and have a (somewhat) relaxing day before we fly out in the afternoon, or whether to work part of the day and rush home, grab our bags, and rush to the airport to just catch the plane. The latter is our usual MO, though it is becoming less fun each time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted April 1, 2016 #3 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Lois, as a newbie to River Cruising I wasn't able to provide you any input but nevertheless have enjoyed following your posts as I have learned a lot from the questions you posted and the answers you received. I wanted to wish you safe travels, and a wonderful experience and I look forward to hearing all about it. Best to you. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to hearing all about your trip. Yes, I agree that this forum is really, as you say, mellow. That might be because there are fewer of us posting so we sort of get to know one another. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wishing you safe travels too:).....normally I would have taken Monday off too but we closed our month today at work and there are still things I need to do on Monday:rolleyes:....It is one of those things...easier for me take care of them. My flight leaves on Tuesday at 11:20am. But I won't be in a rush so that is a good thing:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Roz Posted April 2, 2016 #16 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Lois, have a great first river cruise! I will be interested in hearing about your experience as a solo river cruiser. My experience was great and I hope yours is too. The worst part is those overnight long flights - ugh. Once you get that behind you it will be smooth sailing from there. Have never been to Amsterdam but it's on my to do list. Roz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
