AMA Burgundy & Provence
For a preview of our adventure,
October 2024
In July of 2017 Kim and I went on an amazing adventure to Southeast Asia where we sailed on the Mekong River thru Vietnam and Cambodia. We met Rene & John (and their family) on that trip and had remained friends, always hoping we could travel together again. Finally in January of 2023 Rene's travel agency hosted a land-only trip to Iceland and we joined (along with our friends Pam & Bob). Such a great time being together again that we told Rene & John to keep us posted on future plans. And now, here we are on another adventure together on a European river cruise!
