Where's Wendy?

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain

Germany-- Christmas markets in December

We missed KindleFest this year, because we went to the source of Christmas markets this year: southern Germany.

We joined a Christmas market cruise on the Rhine and Main, conducted by Vantage. This is a perfect way to see the markets--and the other sights along the way. Imagine if you unpacked once, and your beautiful hotel room followed you as you visited villages, cities and towns, while seeing the major sights and Christmas markets.

If you're thinking of looking into a river cruise, send me an e-mail. I'll register you, and we both get $100 off.
