It was my dream to celebrate my birthday in Eiffel tower.
Did that after my tour with Gate 1 – Paris to Paris, Seine River cruise.
The Monarch Countess used to be an Avalon ship, but, was not better than
Viking Tialfi . The suite has only one room and quite small, however, the bathroom was bigger.
One compliments the other and with thousands lesser than Viking, Gate 1 was a lot better.
Food and services were excellent. They deserved a huge tip!
We also tried Delta One.. it is no better than Qatar, JAL and Emirates, sorry!

Delta One, business class of Delta..



I did not want to waste more funds going back and forth to Europe, so , I extended our trip to
Nice, France to see Monaco and finally to get a taste of Portugal.
True enough, there are too many places to see . I will go back to Portugal in the future.




It is indeed imperative to be financially stable to experience what I am doing
in my life.. everything cost a fortune.
My natal day celebration in 2025, was lovely and full of memorable moments made by Gate 1 travel company
and through my very generous husband.
I have completed 84 countries at this time.
My 85 and 86th countries will be an adventure, not a leisure trip.. Hm,, where can it be?
Your guess is as good as mine..
