Back in the US last night for a quick one-night near JFK. Stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn Queens / JFK Airport and had a great night. The rooms are comfortable, staff was super helpful and the bar and restaurant were perfect for our stay. Would stay overnight again especially since they’re only 6 minutes from JFK. We’re off to Cleveland in a few hours and will be home this afternoon.

Enjoying the best lounge (IMO) in T3 with a light breakfast and a cheeky cocktail. Can’t believe this trip is almost over. We have had the most wonderful time and met some incredible people. Can’t wait for the next one! Jim’s first American Airlines Flagship First experience too!

Loving our suite at Brown's Hotel, a Rocco Forte Hotel! We are staying one last night in London before heading back to the US tomorrow. We’ll stay near JFK for the night and fly home the next morning. We have had a wonderful whirlwind of a time! This is now our second Rocco Forte hotel stay after The Balmoral, a Rocco Forte Hotel, and we are loving the properties! The staff have been amazing and the suites are so incredibly comfortable. Can’t wait to book our next one!

It’s been another busy few days on this trip! We stopped in Copenhagen on Wednesday. I decided to hop on the train and go over to Malmö Sweden! I explored the city a bit and went to Malmö Castle. After that I had a cocktail in their cafe and did some shopping for souvenirs. I then took the train back to Copenhagen and stopped at Nimb Bar just outside of Tivoli Gardens and had a cocktail out on their patio. I then headed back to the ship. Unfortunately due to weather our stop in Skagen Denmark was canceled and we had an extra sea day. It’s been a lot of fun just hanging out on the ship with our friends and meeting tons of new people with Paul and Carole’s group. Today is our last day onboard. Jim and I will be staying one more night in London before flying to New York on Sunday.

Hello from Oslo! We are out exploring the city today and seeing what we can find. So far the city is beautiful and the weather is perfect! We visited the Palace, the Nobel Peace Center, and now the National Museum.

Hello from Kristiansand, Norway! I slept in a bit this morning after having a few too many cocktails last night 😂🍸🍹, and then once I was feeling human, I went for a wander around the city. It’s absolutely gorgeous and the weather is 66°f/19°c and sunny!
