Looking to a brighter future....


The next great adventure, starting next November has been planned....  I'm hopeful that the state of the world pandemic will allow Ann, Cathy and I to return to our beloved Zuiderdam for 167 days of sun and fun....  It's not as long of a voyage that I would prefer but at this point, this looks magnificent.  As I explained in the last blog post, this seems to best the best solution for us, in lieu of the World Voyage because of how long it will take for any level of herd immunity from COVID-19 around the world.  We are optimistic, excited and eager to return to our second home, the ms Zuiderdam....  Here's the itinerary for our amazing voyage....

  1. As the saying goes ”If you don’t plan it, it won’t happen”. And a great plan it is… warm, beautiful places, and on a very nice ship. By November, probably everyone on that ship will have been vaccinated. And just in case, you’re staying comparatively close to US soil. Looking forward to reading your blog about this next adventure.

  2. sounds like a great itinerary...our original plan was to get on the Z on Sept 22 thru Jan 16..do Alaska then stay on for 50 days South Pacific thru Nov 18-- BOTH were canceled-- then stay on Nov 18 thru Jan 16 which is all we have left--- 59 days on the Z.. hopefully fingers crossed HAL will sail
