My Disneyland Paris and Normandy River Cruise

My visit to Disneyland Paris was magical, blending the charm of Disney with the elegance of French culture. From the moment I walked down Main Street, U.S.A. and caught sight of Sleeping Beauty Castle, I was swept into a world of fantasy. The castle itself, with its unique French design and the dragon lurking underneath, felt like a fairytale come to life. Continuing down the path to It’s a Small World brought back all the memories from my childhood adventures at Disneyland California. I can never tire of that ride.

Timeless Wonders of Vietnam, Cambodia, and the Mekong River with Uniworld

I recently cruised the Mekong River with Uniworld River Cruises. The Uniworld brochure’s first paragraph about this trip states, “Two of the most beautiful, historic, and friendly places in all of Asia, dynamic Vietnam and pastoral Cambodia, are intriguing studies in contrast. Each possesses its own unique charm and social traditions, its own tragic history and complex past.” This is so true and so much more.

My Viking River Cruise on the Rhine River

I just returned from a 7-day cruise on the Rhine on one of Viking’s ship, Viking Kara, exploring Switzerland, France, Germany, and the Netherlands.

The Rhine River runs from the Swiss Alps through the Franco-German border and empties into the North Sea up in the Netherlands. I embarked in Basel on a beautiful sunny Sunday. I spent the night before in Basel and discovered its lovely medieval old town.
