This trip was a little unique considering it was going to be my first NON-solo vacation in 3 or 4 years. I’m ruling out 3 day weekends considering you blink and they’re over! 😉
I was initially planning a “blow off Christmas and NYE” trip again to Vietnam when my oldest and dearest friend put in a request for a joint vaca. Considering that no one can ever match my schedule availability of course this became the new game plan.
We then checked Skyscanner to see where we should go and Norway came up as one of the cheapest! I had semi-secretly already researched Norway (ok, I googled flight prices once after seeing like 3 instagram pictures) and had suggested this so when it came up on cheap-ish destinations I woo’d Kristin with tales of the Northern Lights and sled dogs until she caved. Even after we had booked flights I continued to bombard her with Instagram DM’s of Norway pics.
That is how we ended up on a red-eye flight on Christmas night, the first of which would be 3 total flights to get us up to our first destination, Tromso.
