Scandinavia — especially Norway — was a place Dorothy had always wanted to visit. We decided that 2025 was the year to make it happen, so on July 11 we left Austin, heading out on our dream vacation. Our business‑class seats made the long flights a bit more tolerable. We had a long layover before our continuing flight to Stockholm, but access to the Lufthansa Lounge helped the time pass more comfortably. We arrived in Stockholm on the afternoon of July 12 — tired, but ready for the adventures ahead.
