Hi @DukeBlueNan How have you been?
I leave mid-June for six weeks visiting England, Scotland, Wales, Denmark, Sweden, Latvia, Poland, Finland, Russia, and Estonia. I have been to Poland and Russia before, but not the others. The last seven countries will be by ship, where we circle the Baltic Sea, visiting only the capitals of each of them.
@JudyL was planning to do the same England/Scotland/Wales itinerary in the Fall that I am taking in June, but had some concerns about traveling overseas at this time. I am hoping she is still gung-ho and that we will be comparing notes!
I plan to post every day like I did last summer while in Ireland, Albania, Croatia, Slovenia, Montenegro, and Bosnia & Herzegovina. So I look forward to taking you along with me via this forum!
