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…
