Where in the World are Ric and Anne?

Around the World? Are We Crazy? So, for our upcoming 50th wedding anniversary, we, Ric and Anne, are taking an around the world cruise. Woo hoo! The closer we get to departure the crazier it seems. How did we come to this?

Road Scholar World Academy World Cruise Piqued Our Interest. We always get lots of travel ads, having done a bit of traveling since our retirement. Most go straight into the trash. But, many moons ago, Ric glanced at a Road Scholar flyer for an around-the-world cruise that happened to mainly visit places we had not visited but were interested in. It also happened to cover the longitudinal slice of the globe we had not crossed into, (Burma through India). Well, against our better judgment, we signed up, tentatively, having months before we had to put down the non-refundable payment. But we got more used to the idea, so coughed up the money, purchasing expensive travel insurance in case of serious health or family contingencies. So, here we are. Ten days from departure. Yikes!

The Blackstens Have Created a Blog. Friends and family have asked us to report on our travels, so we were thinking about email lists and Facebook posts. But then a friend suggested we create a blog. Well, here it is, Ric's first effort, using Google Blogger, suggested by a friend to be the easiest platform on which to start. So, if we clear the last visa hurdles and our healths hold, we will board the MS Zuiderdam on Wednesday, January 3, 2024.

Day 51 (Feb 21). Musings from Anne

Image
Musings from Anne: Food:    There’s an amazing variety, most of which is quite tasty.  Vegan always available. Specialty dining rooms at added cost that people say are excellent. There are always cookies…..homemade   Avoiding gaining 10 pounds in 4 1/2 months is a challenge. Our Road Scholar group: 21 participants, 7 men, 14 women, 2 couples   Fellow passengers aboard ship: Predominantly English speaking with Brits, Australians,  Canadians & Americans. Many other languages can be heard, however.   There are a number of folks on rollators, canes and wheelchairs. Holland America is wonderful handling all the handicapped passengers. If we can pull up to a dock for port, off come the wheelchairs, no matter how primitive the area might be. The tender ports are not always amenable to rolling aids. The Road Scholar lectures and excursions have been terrific for the  most part. Although Americans clearly  visit these WWll battle sites, it is not via cruise ships. Only about 5 come to Guam

Day 64 (March 5): Fukoaka (Hakata), Japan

Image
On this final day in Japan Anne and I opted out of the Road Scholar group tour of yet more temples and shrines—group members are grumbling—and went exploring and shopping on our own. Near the port we visited a shopping center geared to port visitors. Highlight for us was the massively tall aquarium and a class of cute Japanese day care kids. Unable to find more authentic Japanese goods in this shopping center, two kindly clerks suggested we go the Kawabata Shopping Arcade. We took a taxi there and had fun shopping.  Anne purchased nice bowls, chopstick rests, and two beautiful pieces of brocade-like cloth made in the shop seen in lower left photo of panel below. We did not eat in the ramen restaurant nor purchase the $400 kimono. At an expensive "English" tailor shop I purchased an old fashioned crossover (continental) tie that was shown to me when I asked about bow ties. I didn't really know much about it but liked the look of it and the fact that you didn't have to
