A look ahead for 2024...

Just a little update as to my cruising schedule, after spending 113 days on the Zaandam, I moved over to the Rotterdam where I am currently enjoying the warm, sunny days in the Caribbean.  Ann, Cathy and I have a lot more cruising this year and below is a bit of a preview of coming attractions…  Stay tuned for a future update, we just booked the entire Asia season on the Westerdam in 2025-2026.  We just keep on moving!
