…well almost. Tomorrow we will leave for our next adventure. We are heading to the UK for a brief stop to get acclimatized, then it is on to Greece for a week. We have chartered a sailboat in the Ionian Sea. We have done this before and it was awesome. This time we are travelling […]
Last days of the cruise were spent packing and saying long goodbyes to our new friends. We are not big on souvenirs but still we had a difficult time getting things into our suitcases. To my surprise it took a lot more effort to repack then it did to unpack at the beginning of the

We have had 4 days in Dubai. This was the perfect place to end our journey. It is like an amusement park only spread out over the entire city. The first day we had booked a private tour. We arranged for the driver to pick us up from the cruise ship with all our bags.

We loved Singapore! So clean and modern and everything was very close to the ship. We only had two things we wanted to do as our time there was short. First we went to the Garden by the Bay. It was beautiful! We only had time for a couple of the attractions but we chose
