Thanks to Kristin's hours of work reading Rick
Steve's Norway book, then hours on the internet planning our destinations
to musuems, stave churches etc., our rides on trams, trains, ferry boats, a
rental car and airlines, our reservations on Air B &B, a cabin at a
Norwegian farm, a century old hotel on a fjord, we had the trip of a lifetime
to Oslo, Frederickstad, Lillehammer, Lom, the Jotunheimen Mountains, the
Sognefjord, Balestrand, Flam, Bergen and Amsterdam.
The trip was due to Kristin's expertise and love
of travel. She adheres to the Nielson Travel Policy, see everything you
can in a country while there is still daylight. Daylight lasted from 4:30 AM to
11 PM, so there was not a moment wasted. We cannot thank Kristin enough for her
extraordinary efforts. We enjoyed Ryan's company, ask him how many legs a
roasted chicken has and the company of six year old Thor, who we called
Damon. He traveled with his hammer, Mjolnir. However, he visited a toy
store in Bergen and morphed into a Viking with helmet, sword and shield. The
Viking traveled to Salt Lake with us and fell asleep in the baggage claim area.
A 9.5 hour on a plane is exhausting for anyone, even a Viking.
