Journey to Budapest

Our trip started yesterday at 4:15 when we left Raleigh en route to Charlotte. Then we boarded a Boeing 777 for an overnight trip to London. We were traveling high on the hog in premium economy with American airlines and that meant meant larger seats and more legroom. Everything was great until we tried to sleep and then the plane kept hitting pockets of turbulence.

No worries though. We arrived safe and sound, made our connection to Budapest, and arrived here at 1:00 p.m. Budapest time which is 6 hours faster than Eastern daylight Time.

A short van ride provided by Viking Cruise lines got us to the Danube and our ship.
