Getting ready for the trip.

Hi Everyone.  Ingrid and I are getting ready for the trip.  Katherine is home for the holidays so she is helping Ingrid pick out clothes for the trip.  As for me, as long as I have sandals, shorts and a tux for the 17 formal nights on the ship I think I will be covered.  If you have things you think we need to bring please let us know in your blog responses.

Here is a link to the trip itinerary.
TripTip_01 - these trips sell out quickly so if you are seriously considering a trip like this you need to book sometimes more than a year in advance.

Take care and have a Merry Christmas!

Leo and Ingrid

Day 6 – I’m not sure we are ready to face our first non-sea day tomorrow.   We are having a wonderful time on the sea days.   We have fallen into a lovely routine of waking late, working out, walking on the deck in beautiful 70 degree weather then meeting Jan and George for the Elite club snacks at 6:00 PM, going to the show at 6:30 PM and then going to the late dinner with our outstanding waiter Victor from Mexico.   Victor has been a great waiter and really helps make the dinners fun. Today Ingrid and I also fit in wine tasting and trivia.   Hey – we got 16 out of 20, but the winning team got 20/20.   Can’t beat that.   Tomorrow we have a tour in Honolulu and then the rest of the day to explore and buy things we still need. The picture is from our first formal night.   There are 17 formal nights out of the 111 days and it is really fun to see everyone all dressed up. 7 flies tied to date.   I’m getting pretty good a...

Day 45 of 111 – Arrived in Port Kelang at 7:00 AM and spent the day around Kuala Lumpur

Wow – what an amazing day in Kuala Lumpur. Took a 2 hour ride from our ship with 14 of our cruise friends in a privately-hired van to the Batu Caves north of Kuala Lumpur (KL).   At the top of 272 steps beside a GIANT Golden Statue you will find a monstrous cave that has been turned into a Buddhist monastery. Worth the climb to see inside this beautiful and unique monastery.   There were monks worshiping and you had to take your shoes off to walk into the holy parts and just hope the numerous monkeys that scampered freely in and out of the caves didn’t run off with your shoes.   Our guide, a green-card holding Malaysian with 3 kids, one brain surgeon in LA and two airline pilots, said he had already lost two hats to the monkeys. I hope I get a chance to post some pics. Then it was on to KL and the Petronas Twin Towers. The tour up the towers took you to the crossing bridge at the 43rd floor and you could gaze both up and down while walking between the towers.  ...
