The Time Has Come

After our short drive over to the Pittsburgh Airport we are now sitting in the terminal awaiting our flight to adventure..

Shortly before we left today we received an email from Viking stating that the ship would not be in Chalon-sur-Soane that we were to meet it in Lyon. This usually means that part of the river is unnavigable usually due to either low or high water. We will find out this weekend when we get there.

Check-in at PIT was a snap, A big hooray for TSA pre-check.

See the smiles, a big hooray for TSA pre-check.
