Hello out there! The Lithuanian adventure begins again, but we are taking quite a round about way to get there. We leave Atlanta, land at Heathrow, go to Dover and board an 800 or so passenger ship for a cruise of the Baltics. I honestly don't remember the order of the trip, but we will go to Oslo, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Hamburg, Lubec St. Petersburg, Riga, and back to England to fly to Lithuania for about 10 days. We will spend a few days in Kaunas, a city we have not visited and then to Klaipeda, the city we feel is our second home. We can't wait to see our dear friends, especially Joris, who is now 6. I can't imagine how grown up he must look. We'll be on the ship for 23 days, so most of my posts will probably be posted after we arrive in the hotels in Lithuania. I'm afraid to go on such a long trip without recording the experience, because things just seem to run together if I don't. We aren't taking time to tour England this trip, because 5 seeks is just about enough touring for 2 old people. It may actually be too much, but I won't know that until it's too late to do anything about it except trudge onward.
