This year, instead of doing something normal, let's go north. Who needs sandy beaches and sunshine when you can bundle up and watch the northern lights.
In truth, this whole idea began a year or so ago when Deb was becoming convinced that she was gradually losing more of her eyesight. Her doctor kept telling her that she was holding her own, but she could sense the inevitable. It is still possible to opt for surgery to remove scar tissue from her retina, but that didn't come with a guarantee and she just isn't willing to take the chance.
A decision was made that the Aurora Borealis (you know, the northern lights) were in our near future. Would it be in Alaska, Iceland, Sweden or Norway? Where?????? Much research had to be done.
Then serendipity struck. Brenda and Mark (from Tandem Eyes) booked a spot on a Hurtigruten Cruise in Norway. Research be damned. Apparently (according to the propaganda), this was the "Most Beautiful Cruise in the World" and it was in one of the best places in the world to see the northern lights.
We were off to Norway.
