It is just amazing how quick the summer has gone. In just over 2 weeks I will be heading to Ft. Lauderdale to kick off the next big adventure. My plan is to rent a vehicle and to drive to Ft. Lauderdale (about 1000 miles) to avoid the pain of airlines and baggage restrictions. I will hopefully see some friends before my sailing on the 22nd. This should be an interesting first 2 ½ months just bouncing around the Caribbean, just what the Beach Bum ordered…. In the meantime I have been busily planning, packing and taking care of tasks here at home that need to be handled. I am more than ready to get this baby underway….. If anyone has any suggestions as to what I should see or do along the way, let me know.

I've always enjoyed your pictures and maybe can offer a tour option. On a cruise to Barbados we booked a snorkeling tour with Silver Moon. their limit is 12 passengers and it was a great day. They also pick you up and drop you off at the pier. Something to check out. Am looking forward to again traveling the world through your eyes.

Sounds like a lot of beach! My daughter, son-in-law and myself did around SA in 2008. We did an off beat day trip in Manta, Ecuador, but felt it was one of our more interesting days. Here is a link to my daughter's blog of our trip.circle-south-america-2008-aboard.blogspot.com/2008/01/day-9-jan-12-manta-ecuador.html
Maybe you'll find it of interest.
Jeff,
Sorry to hear about the cancellation. But things happen...
Are you going to be on the Amsterdam the whole time or several ships?

Hi Jeff- A wonderful shore excursion in Dominica is a tour to see the indigenous indians. My husband is an Amerindian from South America. He enjoyed this tour immensely even getting up to dance on stage! I wish I could attach a few pictures. Enjoy being a beach bum!
All the best- Kathy
Like the beach bum part.
We enjoy the same beaches so no suggestioins as your going there anyway LOL.
But we did meet on a fantastic whale watching tour in Dominica.
For Papua New Guinea, no place to see so much as another blog full of fantastic pictures of the area by Jan Messersmith. Madang- Ples bilong mi. I think that is the name of it. He takes some great diving pics!
Can't wait to start seeing the daily photo updates of your trip! Sorry about Albuquerque...I was looking forward to those!

Hi Jeff,
We continue to enjoy your terrific journal and photos. You asked for recommendations on your upcoming trip, and based on limited experience, my favorite Caribbean beach is Trunk Bay, Saint John USVI. It is just a 30 minute boat ride from St. Thomas and the island is basically a national park. What I like are the three levels of beauty, snorkeling in a coral reef, a nice small beach cove with small coral islands that you can swim out to, and beautiful mountains looming in the distance.
You might like to know that I recently caught up with some friends from the 2010 voyage on the Amsterdam. Stan and Peg sat at the dinner table next to us (behind Sandy and Grace) and went with you to the Galapagos. They live in Florida, are FSU fans, and Carolyn and I tailgated with them when Wake Forest played in Tallahassee. Have a wonderful voyage and we will be enjoying the trip vicariously.
Bill Gooden
sounds like a fantastic trip. I'm jealous. What is it 3 months before you leave for the grand voyage? Looking forward to the pics.
guy from st augustine
My dear friend,
you're only in the 7th day and so far the photos are AMAZING (as usual...)
I hope you'll have a wonderful time!
take good care,
miss you much
Dikla
