    A bucket list trip. The problem with something that you have been dreaming of for years is whether it can possibly live up to expectations. This one did, to the extent that I had to pinch myself to believe it was actually happening.

    Not a rest but an expedition - hopping on and off Zodiacs, climbing rocky shores, exploring round icebergs, animal watching, and informative lectures.

    The route was fantastic, lots of variety in terrain, scenery, towns and villages. The only thing missing was more of a cultural experience from the guide. He did a wonderful job navigating and finding good restaurants for dinner, but he was unfamiliar with the cultural and natural history of where we were. I would have gotten much more out of the experience with some background information on the unique places we visited.
