Ho Chi Minh City: Got up at 5am and watched the sunrise as we negotiated the Vung Tao river into Uncle Ho’s city. Spectacular as we weaved around the winding river. The ship ... Read more >

I got up early to watch the sunrise – time wasted really as it was too cloudy. But I watched us sail into Singapore harbour and dock. It was odd getting up and finding we were sailing along through other ships and within sight of land.

I don’t know what we’ve done, to upset the Sultan of Brunei, but those of us with Aussie passports had to pay 10 Euros for a Transit Visa. Here’s the list of countries that need Transit Visas: Australia, Argentina, Mexico, ... Read more >

Today's port was Kota Kinabalu on Sabah (Borneo). Kota Kinabalu was sweet in a tropical way – blue water, palm trees. Mountains in the background. There was a lovely mosque – all blue and white. Quiet and peaceful as we toured around.

The day didn’t start well. As soon as we hit the expressway at 6.45am or so I knew things weren’t good. Traffic not moving. Inched forward all the way to River Rd. Then we decided to leave the Expressway and find Canterbury Rd. To cut a long ... Read more >

The trip to L.A. was uneventful except that the thorough security thing annoyed me. First I got frisked (or “patted down”). Then I was told to sit down while someone checked out my luggage. She opened every zip (I was pleased I had so many!) ... Read more >

Lancaster : I’m a bit disappointed with Lancaster. My fault – I’d built it up in my head, and unless it was like in the movie “Witness” it was never going to live up to expectations. For a start – I didn’t see ... Read more >
