December 14 – 21, 2026

It's all about 1986. Gather, travel, celebrate and remember with your classmates from the best high school in the Winchester area!

Last year, while flipping through my Yearbook of the Class of 1986, I was struck by the number of people who had signed and the messages you left. Most of you simply said, “Let’s keep in touch.” We all have so many “667” and “869” phone numbers in our yearbooks asking us to stay in touch, don’t we? We shared so many precious memories and moments through those years. Let’s revisit that. I admit that I wasn’t very good about keeping in touch. Life got busy, as it did with most of us. Let’s slow down. I miss every one of you!

As we realized it was our 40th anniversary, Buffie and I decided to take advantage of my connections in the travel industry and plan a special reunion trip.  We settled on a cruise on the Danube River to experience the iconic and historic Christmas Markets!  Working with one of my best trip operators, I secured us space on a fantastic river boat on the Danube river for this iconic trip.

My wife Stephanie and I cruised the Christmas Markets of the Rhine River a couple of years ago and it was nothing less than magical. The markets are a veritible festival of lights.  You dress up nice and warm and each market has a different mug for the Glühwein (hot mulled wine) that you can either keep and collect or return for a deposit (needless to say, Stephanie Conley has quite a collection…). And these markets do not have cheap Chinese stuff but fantastic handmade toys, and wood articles, and art and other items, outdoor skating rinks and myriad traditional food stuffs. The rules are very strict for the vendors and the artists are usually there in the booths, often working on more items. 

Program Highlights

• Explore the enchanting Christmas markets of Austria and Germany in the charming towns and cities along the Danube
• 2 nights in Vienna at the Vienna Marriott Hotel and a 5-night scenic Danube River cruise from Vienna, Austria,  to Regensburg, Germany
• Experience festive traditions, local crafts, and seasonal cuisine
• Guided cultural excursions and immersive local experiences
• Relax in premium accommodations both on land and onboard

Celebrate the magic of the holiday season with an unforgettable journey through Austria and Germany. This festive program begins in Vienna, where you will enjoy two nights in one of Europe’s most elegant cities, known for its imperial charm, classical music heritage, and world-famous Christmas markets. I have been many times and will point out things that you simply will not see on your own.

From Vienna, embark on a scenic, luxurious, Danube River cruise, traveling through picturesque towns and storybook landscapes. Along the way, explore traditional markets, historic landmarks, and cultural treasures, all while enjoying the comfort and luxury of a premium river cruise experience. Those of you who have followed my career know that I do not do cheap, don’t cut corners and focus only on quality.  I’m paying my and my wife's way for this trip, so I’m not wasting my money or yours. And this is your only opportunity to do this with me and Buffie!
