Fleeting Hours and Silent Nights – At Sea – [10/27/2012]
Many people will hate me for admitting that I occasionally get bored. I feel guilty admitting it. I mean, I’m a world traveler, I often feel like I shouldn’t be allowed to get bored. But no matter how wonderful and … Continue reading
Tunnel Rats – Phu My, Vietnam – [10/25/2012]
I suppose it’s become clear over the seasons how I feel about calling in Vietnam. I doubt very much it will ever be my favourite place on our itinerary. But I realized this year that I hadn’t really seen any … Continue reading
Harbour City Dragons – Hong Kong – [10/20/2012]
In the three seasons I have been lucky enough to visit Hong Kong, I have discovered that there is a trick to getting around here: move very quickly and with a great deal of confidence. This isn’t because you’re in … Continue reading
Step and Glide – At Sea – [10/14/2012]

I had not intended to take a tour in Nagasaki, in fact I hadn’t really ‘planned’ to do anything at all. I was thinking I would just wander around in town for a few hours, perhaps visit a museum – … Continue reading
Thunderous Farewells – Kobe, Japan – [10/07/2012]
I always feel vaguely guilty when I spend a day ‘off’ in a foreign port doing nothing more exciting than sitting in my cabin watching movies and sewing. And occasionally sleeping. But sometimes I am in deep need of recharging … Continue reading
Crowded Serenity – Kobe, Japan/Nara Temple – [10/06/2012]
I had no big plans for Kobe at first. As interesting as a new country is, sometimes you really just want to take advantage of a non-IPM day to rest, especially since I had a really long couple of days … Continue reading
Right Down the Middle – Yokohama/Tokyo – [10/04/2012]
I’m walkin’ right down the middle of Main Street USA, You know it’s no illusion it’s a dream that’s here to stay The place was made with a magical plan And right around the corner is a fantasy land I’m … Continue reading
