Nearly six years since we’ve been at sea. Far too long, in my opinion. Wanderlust has been calling and we've answered - ”hello!”
Regent Seven Seas Cruises, here we come! It will truly be a homecoming. Cumulatively, we’ve spent nearly a full year on this ship…two and a half World Cruises that have taken us on some of our most exciting adventures: escaping from a tuk-tuk in India, dancing on the pier with African warriors, riding elephants in Thailand, swimming in the turquoise blue lagoon in Bora Bora, out-witting pirates in the Sea of Aden, stuck on an “out-of-control” automatic toilet in Japan, discovering that there’s no toilet in the Vatican (a hole in the floor doesn’t count – I made do), being cursed by the “bartering gods” in Shanghai, mastering the subway in Hong Kong, watching the sun set while sipping champagne in the Arabian desert, seeing flying fish, watching whales breech around the ship when we stopped for a moving memorial service at Iwo Jima, teaching art on sea days and making life-long friends with wonderful people. So many thrilling and beautiful memories!
We get a redux! While not a world cruise, it will be three glorious weeks on one of our favorite ships, the Seven Seas Voyager. We’ll board in Istanbul after arriving in Turkey two days earlier. I have long dreamed of shopping in the Grand Bazaar after hearing friends “wax poetic” about the trinkets they have purchased there. That, and other significant sites are on tap before we get settled into to our suite on the ship.
Like Istanbul, Israel is a new destination for us. I think it will be the highlight of this cruise, but stay-tuned. The reality is everyday onboard holds its own unique highlights, both large and small.
We'll savor exploring Israel for three days. It may seem like a limited time, but what we’ve learned from cruising is that it’s a perfect blend between sailing the seas and sightseeing on land. We believe we can always go back... we have and we are! It's delightful to be returning to countries we’ve visited previously. On this journey, we'll have adventures like never before, like swimming in the Red Sea and venturing out into the desert with a Bedouin following Lawrence of Arabia’s “footsteps.”
It promises to be a wonderful cruise. Our adventure begins on October 31, 2015 on the Seven Seas Voyager. Please join us as we sail out of Istanbul on the Bosphorus Sea toward the Middle East.

So much fun seeing your creative art work! I am so glad you enjoyed the art classes. Addictive, right? BTW, I still have many of the fabrics I bought in Singapore, albeit, with a lot of patches cut out of each piece. : ) What a wonderful time! Thank you for saying hello!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful trip, wish it was us.
ReplyDeleteI hope that one day you will have an opportunity to enjoy a trip like this. Thank you.
