CONTINUED LIFE ON THE PACIFIC AFTER HONOLULU AND LAHAINA

Image
Life continues on the Pacific Princess.   We were in Honolulu on Saturday (the 26 th ) and Lahaina on Sunday (the 27 th ).   We’ve been to both islands, Oahu and Maui, so we didn’t feel compelled to take any excursions or do any sightseeing.    We did go to the local Walmart in Honolulu, which is always a joke any time you’re on a cruise.   There are always passengers and even more crew members at the local Walmart.    Michael was in search of his shoehorn, which he didn’t find in Walmart, but our terrific cabin steward found him one on the ship.   After the laundry losing several pairs of our underwear early on during our first week, we bought some extras, only to have the bag of our laundered items recovered, again, by our diligent cabin steward.   We have definitely settled in to our “home away from home” and Michael has already commented today that he feels as if we’ve been on the Pacific Princess longer than just 10 day...

LUDERITZ, NAMIBIA – APRIL 6TH

Image
I just finished going through our photos and, although we didn’t go on an excursion to the famous Ghost Town of the Namid or a trip to see the “Wild Horses of the Namid” which two of our fellow passengers thought was not a very accurate name for the excursion (they said it should’ve   been the “Feral Horses of the Namid”), our photos brought back sights and memories of this unusual town in Namibia.   Namibia, means “vast place” in the Khoekhhoe language, the native people of southwestern Africa and is located on the southwest coast of Africa; South Africa is to its south; Botswana to its east and Angola to its north.   Luderitz was founded by Adolf Luderitz, a German merchant, in 1883.   It sits in the southwest corner of Namibia on the South Atlantic Ocean and has a population of approximately 15,000 people.   It has a mild desert climate with temperatures around 70 degrees throughout the year.   English is the official language and the Namibia...

World Cruise - 2019

Image
    WORLD CRUISE - 2019  We are fortunate to be able to sail around the world once again on the Pacific Princess beginning January 20th and returning May 12th.  We're in the early stages of planning but we have the many lists from our 2016 adventure which will make it much easier to prepare for this time.   Although we booked the 2018 World Cruise a while back, we decided to cancel this year because the itinerary was the same in 2016.  When we read that the ship will be heading south to Africa in 2019, we immediately said, "we're onboard!"   We have some exciting excursions already booked, including a visit to Komodo Island, a private tour in Kuala Lumpur, an elephant ride in Thailand and a safari in South Africa.  Needless to say, we're very excited.   Leona will, once again, take copious notes on all our outings and will be posting on this blog.  We're sending this link to ask if you're interested in getting up...
