The Globe-Trotters are about to embark on yet another adventure, so stay tuned for updates along the way. Originally we were scheduled to visit the city of Tokyo for a couple of days before boarding our ship and traveling north along the Japanese coast, making two stops, before continuing north to Russia. With the problems currently in Japan, that portion of our cruise was canceled, and instead we will travel to Seoul, South Korea to meet our ship, and then spend 5 days at sea giving Japan a wide berth before reaching the Kamchatka Peninsula of Russia, and the city of Petroplovlask. The area of Russia was formerly a closed military district and even Russian citizens were forbidden to visit the area without permission. We will stop for one day, and from there head due east towards Alaska, stopping at various points in the Aleutians before reaching Ankorage, AK. That completes our first cruise, but we will remain onboard and continue down the Alaskan coast finally reaching Vancouver, BC, the end of our long journey.
As I have done in the past, I will be posting updates on our blog: theglobe-trotters.com, as well as sending updates by e-mail. When I can I will also try to post photographs, which are easily reached by a link on our web page.
Lisa and I hope everyone enjoys sharing in the adventures, and we will look forward to seeing everyone when we get home.
Jim
