A new adventure awaits...

 

Well, time flies…  It seems like I just got off the Zuiderdam but in a month from now, I fly to Boston to board the wonderful Zaandam for some incredible adventures, including the Antarctic!  In summary, we will be on the Zaandam doing some Canada & New England ports, transitioning to Fort Lauderdale to commence the 73-day Grand South America & Antarctica Voyage.  We will stay on for the holiday voyage in the Caribbean and then switch ships in January, moving to the Rotterdam until March 8th.  Then it’s off to home for a quick 3 weeks of taxes, medical appointments and repacking for Europe.  We fly back to Fort Lauderdale on April 3rd, set sail on the Oosterdam on April 5th heading to the Mediterranean.  At the end of April, we have to leave the ship for 22 days and will take an amazing Overland trip in the Adriatic.  We will reboard May 21st and explore the Mediterranean again until 23 June when we debark the Oosterdam and fly to Amsterdam to join the Zuiderdam on June 29th and set sail to Boston via Norway, the British Isles, Iceland and Greenland…  It will be a very memorable adventure…
