With hubby away in Afghanistan, there was only one option for this year: go big. Very big. This big.
11 days on the ship in the Baltic Sea, with 7 ports of call, not including the embarkation in Copenhagen. This is a big of a life-long dream being fulfilled, as I am partially of Finnish ancestry, and that area of the world has always fascinated me. Icing on the cake: meeting some of my Finnish relatives in Helsinki on the 12th.
Or is the icing on the cake the fact that the girlfriend I'm travelling with got us upgraded to Executive First class on the Toronto-Copenhagen flight? Champagne and beds on a plane... now *that's* travelling.
Somehow, with all this excitement, 40 doesn't seem so bad. Who can be depressed about another decade when one's in Oslo, Norway? Not me! :)
Follow me here on the ship's bridge-cam, and I'll try to post when I have time.

Wowzers! Good for you! I like it when people take things into their own hands and make their own birthdays special.
Wow! Have a fabulous time!
Leave it to be to be an hour late and a dollar short. I wish I'd read your blog earlier. I would have loved to follow the deck cam. How cool! I'm so glad you had an amazing 40th birthday. The 40s aren't that bad..in fact I think it's an amazing time in life! Enjoy every minute of it.
