Ooooh, Carolina Moon I am so excited for you. Are you from Norway? Have you been before?
My entire Dad's side of the family is scattered around Oslo and Sweden. My dad came here at 19 for some military training, went back to Norway where my sister was born 17 months before me, then came back to the states (permanently) around the time I was born in Colorado. He is the only child in his family here.
We still have the farm my grandmother was born on, a cabin in a town called Flisa, near Finnskogen (Finnforest) my family has owned since the early 1900's and the apartment in Oslo my grandparents lived in before they passed away.
Have an amazing time... it is magical and wonderful there.
My husband and I at some point are going to do the Hurtigruten cruise up the coast from Oslo to the northern tip of Norway for the Northern lights and then a train trip back to Oslo- magnificent. My husbands family is from Sweden.
We will have verdict and peace well before then! Have fun!
Well, the eye doctor appointment didn't work!
My grandfather's parents were Swedish and Norweigian. My mother's mom was from Finland. This is my first European cruise and my first visit to Norway.
