Around the World Itinerary and Excursions...

Well, it's hard to believe, but the ATW trip is about two months away.  I'm waiting for the return of my passport with the required visa to India (all other visas can be obtained on the journey), and I've finished selecting my activities/excursions, too.

Use this link (click here) to see the final timeline and the excursions I plan to participate in while on the journey.

A video of this year's ATW trip on the ms Amsterdam...

This video was recently posted on YouTube by folks participating in this year's (2014) around-the-world tour.  The itinerary was slightly different (Africa was on the list).  It looks like they had a great time aboard the ms Amsterdam.
