Off We Go Again!



As you can see from the graphic, we will soon be leaving Arizona and traveling to London and then on to Cape Town where we will spend a few days recovering from the 37 hour trip before boarding our Oceania ship for a thirty day cruise ending in Singapore.

We will visit three ports in South Africa, East London, Durban and Port Charles and then the exotic ports of call will begin. First stop, Maputo, Mozambique, then Nosy Be, Madagascar, back to Tanzania for Dar Es Salaam and Zanzibar, and Kenya for Mombasa. After that we will head for the island paradises of the Seychelles and then the Maldives. The crystal clear, warm, blue waters will then give way to the hustle and bustle of Colombo, Sri Lanka.




After Colombo, we will travel to Phuket, Thailand and Penang, Malaysia, new places in familiar countries before ending with a stop in Kuala Lumpur, one of our favorites, and then disembarking in Singapore for a few days of enjoyment in that remarkable city state, but that is not the end.  We will then fly to Manila in the Philippines to get a glimpse of that incredibly complex city and perhaps find the perfect lumpia.


                         

We will complete our around the world trip of twelve countries and seventeen cities by flying from Manila to Los Angeles before our last flight back to Sky Harbor. In a twist of logic, time zones and long distance flying, also thanks to the International Dateline, we will leave Manila at 11:45 AM on Monday, February 10th and arrive in Los Angeles three hours before at 8:45 AM, Monday, February 10th.  That kind of stuff never fails to amaze me.




So that's the itinerary. We are excited about it and we hope it excites you as well. As always I will send an email when new posts are up and at any time if you wish not to receive updates, let me know and you will be deleted :)
