Holland America Grand Voyage

Greetings Once again -
So the above is a map of where we will soon travel.  The complete voyage is 70 days.  We actually get to overnight in 5 ports: Beijing, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Cairns & Sydney.  We have been to these destinations on previous cruises, so it will be fun to return to some of our favorite haunts.  New countries/ports for us are Japan, New Caledonia, Russia, Cambodia and Indonesia.
One of the best perks of a Grand Voyage with HAL, is that they pick up baggage a week early and deliver it right to your stateroom.  So I am busy packing:  have the formal wear in one suitcase, Brian's other clothes in another, costumes for theme nights & other misc sh*t in the foot locker, so am just about done.  WAIT! where is all my stuff gonna go?  I only have one more allotted piece of luggage!  AGH!!  Guess we will have to bring extra on the plane - "phew" - flying SouthWest so can get another 4 suitcases for free...LOL!
Next update will most likely be from Seattle - happy sailing....
