In 2017, we took our son James and his new wife Karissa to the Christmas Markets. We traveled eastwards by train from Munich to Salzburg and Vienna in mid-December.

This time we are traveling with long-time friends Kathy and Steve Puckett on a Viking riverboat headed west from Budapest.

Off we go!
