Greenland

Wow, for so many years traveling to so many places, I've never felt that planning a trip can be so unbearably difficult.

Greenland has been on top of my travel list for MANY years. No, I'm not looking for a cruse-ship trip circling along the shorelines. I wanted to stay on the island and take the small vassal out at night to Disko Bay - the pure arctic - to photograph the biggest icebergs in the world under the midnight sun... Just imagine that!! And - if needed - the attached photos can help you imagine.

My first planned trip to Greenland for 7/2020 was cancelled on 4/19/2020 due to the global pandemic. I posted attachment 1 on my Facebook to document the heartbreaking event.

Since 2020, I have been searching for photography groups that can organize similar type of trips with the same amazing scenery. After exploring all possible itineraries of National Geographic expeditions (my only other unwilling option), I decided to go with the group that can take us on a small vassal to see the BIG icebergs!!

The exciting trip is in early August 2025, and I booked it in 2024! Guess what happened this time? There are no tickets for my scheduled arrival and departure dates. In addition, the hotel accommodations are very limited outside of the group travel dates. Wow, what a bummer!!

After countless struggles with a different combination of less desirable traveling schedules, finally, today, 4/19/2025, I cancelled my 2nd Greenland trip. At this point, I don't know if I still have the courage to say: "Some day, Greenland, some day, I will go visit you!" Maybe I do need to downgrade my dream trip to a Greenland expedition by National Geographic.
