Grand Asia and Australia Voyage is less than 100 days away…


I’ve finalized my excursions (click here to view), and I think I’ve applied for the final visa applications (China was expensive, but lasts 10 years; Cambodia was not so expensive, and I applied for online for an "e-visa") I must have prior to the voyage.  This trip doesn’t require any shots!

Although I spend time in the Aleutian Islands and go ashore to explore an island in Alaska, my first excursion will be with the only stop in Russia.  I’m visiting a volcanology museum in Petropavlovsk, Russia.

There are a couple I’m really excited about.  Also, I have two multi-day ventures via bus, train, plane in China (Great Wall and Terra Cotta Warriors) and from Vietnam to the temple of Angkor Wat in Cambodia.

Also, I’ll be spending about eight hours at the Great Barrier Reef and a night at the Sydney Opera House.

The final part of the tour is in Fiji, Samoa, and then Hawaii. 

I’m counting down the days!

The 128-Day 2020 World Cruise looks very interesting...

No canals (i.e., Panama, Suez) on this world voyage, and there's time in Antarctica and Africa!
My last world voyage was in 2015, and the latest offering for 2020 looks very intriguing to me.
