Hello and welcome one and all! 
My name is Karin
and I am not new to the Disboards, I have been a member for a long time and have written trip reports for many of our travels over the years.
But getting older, work as a teacher needed more and more of my time. And then shortly before finally being able to retire Covid hit and travel was no longer easily doable but one can dream about it while hiding at home.
Once the world opened up again and I finally was able to retire we started to travel again. Turns out we are nearly as often “on the road” as we are home nowadays.
Lately I have been asked by some Disboards members to start writing trip reports again and I think it’s time to share our adventures again.
So let’s get started:
Who are we?
As I mentioned before, my name is Karin and I am in my 60s, a retired teacher living in Austria all of my life. I have always had the urge to travel but now being retired it’s the perfect way of life. Seeing so many new and exciting places.
My travel partner is my brother, Thomas, who is a retired mailman. He has been delivering mail for most of his life but is happy to now just get the mail from our postbox.
What’s in store?
- We started out this year by spending our New Year’s festivities in the “Salzkammergut”, a beautiful part of Austria with lakes and mountains.
- In early January we spent a week at Disneyland Paris as Disney’s Electrical Sky Parade was introduced.
- In March we decided on a whim to return to Disneyland Paris for the end of our AP year and a passholder event.
- In April we took a river cruise on the Danube
- In May Alison (franandaj) paid us a visit
- Later in May and early June we took a back to back cruise on Virgin Voyages Resilient Lady to the Adriatic Sea and Greek Isles
- In July we spent another week in the “Salzkammergut”
- In early September we’ll set out for another LONG (2 months) trip to the US, or well let’s be honest – Disney where we’ll stay at OKW, CR, SSR and YC before a b2b cruise on the Disney Wish just to return to SSR and OKW before embarking on the Disney Fantasy for a cruise to Nassau, 2 visits to Castaway Cay and a visit to Lighthouse point. Upon returning we’ll head back to OKW until it’s time to return to Austria.
- So far we have no plans for November and December apart from the fact that at the end of the month of December, when we head to the Salzkammergut again for New Year’s celebrations.
Be warned …. you will see a LOT of food pics and a lot of scenery.
Looking forward to see who dares to come along.

Lots of pics coming your way with these adventures. 
your "selfish" comment - gives me all the more reason to get this show on the road.
