A number of people have asked where we are going next. We have told a few, but if you have wondered, and don't know, we thought it would be fun to have a few teasers! If you don't think it is fun...well, come back at the end of August! :-)
 |
| A distant kingdom.... |
1. We begin by flying to Houston, and board a 737 (with only 44 passengers). Then we fly 9.5 HOURSSSSSS to a
kingdom far, far away!! No, really, they have a King!! And a Queen, and a Crown Prince, and a Princess, as well. It's like a real life fairy tale.
 |
| A castle in the old land of Zea... |
2. After a very short pause, we flee this kingdom to go to an even more distant kingdom! Although, they actually do not have a king at the moment. We will visit an island which is a older version of somewhere we went last year. We will pause here to adjust to the jet lag and see the sights!

| Our Dream Vacation! -- Anyone want to join us? |
3. After catching up on sleep, and visiting a few sights in this second kingdom, we will fly about 4
hours to the remotest island of the second kingdom! An ironically named land, which has the highest cost for textbooks in the world. (Possibly for their inexplicable use of "q" to end words or doubled up?!)
 |
| "Downtown". Our "hotel" is the building on the left. |
4. We arrive at a
mere “settlement” with a population of about 500, but the largest commercial
airport in this country. The
settlement’s name means “Big Fjord” in their native tongue. We will have only one day to explore the vast
wilderness of this place, but some of the most amazing things can be seen only
after dark!
 |
| Not quite! |
5. Then we board a new old ship. Like stepping step back in time, we revisit a
ship featured elsewhere on this blog, but with a different name, and nearly as
far away from here as it can go. We
almost booked the same stateroom as our trip years ago. Years ago, we met the Chief Engineer on this
ship and we had dinner with him one night.
I wonder if he will be back?
