Join Anne & Kelli for their 298th NEW episode of #ilovemywife podcast and their end of the year episode! This one was actually recorded from aboard a Uniworld Rivercruise on a Classic Christmas Markets cruise through Germany where Kelli was hosting the entire ship on an LGBTQ hosted week and Anne was the special guest entertainer. They chat about flying to Frankfurt to begin the journey. They stayed at a really cool hotel called Roomers and had birthday dinners for Anne's Musical Director Will and Kelli's business partner Gregg.

Next, they boarded The River Dutchess and were greeted by the Cruise Manager Ramona who they have sailed with many times before. Anne tells a very funny story about setting up all the sound equipment and accidentally thinking The Captain was someone else. They tell you about the warmer weather then they expected, the food at the different Christmas Markets that included a classic frankfurter, lots of Gluwein (mulled wine), lots of stands full of everything you could ever want and so much more. They also talk about Anne's show, piano bar with Will, a onesie dance party, massages on board, Anne's packing obsession and how much fun the whole experience was for both of them.

Then hear about their holiday traditions both as children and as a family together. They also talk about what they are looking forward to in 2026 and new year's resolutions. They also answer many listener questions that range from questions about LGBTQ travel, how Anne remembers her lyrics and even what Anne's sign is!
