Discovering Ama Waterways - Our Blue Danube Adventure

Today began our "discovery cruise" to prepare for our 2012 AmaWaterways Blue Danube Discovery Adventure which my partner Michael and I will be leading for our Friends of Dave Tours 2012 Fall cruise.

I am an adventurous and well travelled American who has lived in Germany for over 14 years. I started my career in travel working for Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida and then spent many years as a cruise agent and ultimately as a sales manager within the Carnival family of cruise lines. I met a German in the Caribbean in 1999 and moved to Germany shortly afterwards. Life has since been a wild ride with so many fun twists and turns that sometimes I have to pinch myself to prove that it's real.

Buda Hilton - Upgrades
Thanks guys! This photo was taken from my room at the Buda Hilton. When I arrived they offered me an upgrade for $20 more and it gave me a view to the Pest side of the city and overlooking Fisherman's Bastion. I now book those rooms every time I stay. It's a fabulous hotel, superb breakfast buffet, and the Buda side is quaint and quiet. I would not stay on this side if you want qucik and easy access to the shops and the main area of restaurants and bars, etc.
