Search for Northern Lights

Headed on a cruise again!

In February, I will be leaving paradise to head to Bergen, Norway (via San Francisco and Frankfort Germany). There, I will meet up with my sister and our parents, to board a Viking cruise ship. We will travel north along the Norwegian coast searching for the Northern Lights.
