Like a lot of people, we had hoped to travel in 2020. And by the looks of an international airport terminal, many of us are ready to finally make it happen. I don’t think I need to explain the different stress level that traveling rises to in 2022. We have escaped COVID so far and are very concerned that it could upend our best laid plans.

We are about to embark on a 14 day tour of Scandinavia ala Rick Steves. After a hop over through Reykjavik, we’ll land at our first destination — Stockholm. We are so excited!

It’s been a crazy week as I began an unusual transition to a new job (more on that later). I basically had four days of onboarding and initiation then one day of a professional conference. After almost three weeks of vacation, I’ll jump into the new gig. Anyway, this all involved lots of in-person meetings, meals and large groups of people at the conference. Quite nerve wracking to be vigilant about masking and air quality! We have to test negative on Sunday before we start the tour. I’ve already had a nightmare that I tested positive 😱

I’m so happy to be resurrecting this blog and sharing our travels again! Enjoy!
