Travels Revisited: Williamsburg Virginia
In 2021 we weren’t going many places. Not many places were open, and if they were, one might have been hesitant to take shared transit options to get to them.

I know I haven’t really been back all that long. I know we had YEARS of going nowhere at all.

May 4: Southampton England disembarkation and homeward
(Original and secondary itinerary: Copenhagen, Denmark)
To do: get up early. Dress. Grab everything. Check the room twice. Head down to 5 to get a sandwich and a coffee. Rush rush rush. Don’t forget to check in with Amtrak. Rush rush rush.

(Original and secondary itinerary: At Sea)
We were going to be up early anyway because our shore excursion takes us hours away from the ship. But it’s also the day before we fly back to the USA. So that means we also needed our COVID tests.

(Original Itinerary for this day: St Petersburg but well obviously not now. We weren’t planning to get off there anyway just because tensions and now… we’ll certainly not.)
(Secondary itinerary: Tallinn, Estonia, also no longer on the itinerary)
This wasn’t on the original itinerary at all. I think it’s truly serendipitous. Among the best days of the trip!

(Secondary itinerary: Helsinki, Finland but we aren’t getting there either. To me, not seeing Finland and Sweden are the bigger loss.)
