Around the world- and we're off! (2013)

So this is where we get started.  But, only part of it was part of the original plan.  We had our flight into Germany included in the around the world tickets.  The side trip to Norway was using Norwegian Air for the first time.  Bargain airline, more than adequate for the purpose.  They have since grown much bigger.

I had almost forgotten about the creepy statues.

And we made it to the home town of these guys.

Around the world (2013) with vaccines!

Hmmm, how timely.  In the world of travel your health is kind of a big deal.  With the current state of the world, more of us are aware of it, for sure.

Planning for around the world

Looking back on the planning aspects of our trip, I'm not sure I would change much from what we did in 2013.  Maybe now that we have more reach, I'd work more at planning small and medium events along the way.  In 2013 the Power Platform was still called XRM, and was mature for model-driven solutions, but notsomuch for the rest of the platform.

Re-live our around the world trip of 2013

Normally, I travel.  A lot.  However, the current state of the world prohibits that.  I have decided to relive our around the world trip.  This is for me, and to keep my spirits up.  If you happen to enjoy it too, then great!

I'll re-post the entries, add additional memories, new memories and random commentary.  I invite you to do the same.

This first post is just before we leave.  It's 2 weeks out.  Months and years of planning to get to this point.  It's almost surreal to think that we accomplished this.  It's so much more than the means to do it, most of what we spent were miles and points we hoarded over the years.  It's about being with someone that you enjoy doing these things with, it's having a job that allows such things, it's trusting your adult children to be self-sufficient when you are literally out and about all over the world, it's making memories (and having the smarts to write it all down as it happened).
