Under 90 days to go

Under 90 days to go.  Noreen and I are getting busy with the details.  The main reason we selected this itinerary is the ability to visit Machu Picchu and Easter Island.  We booked the shore excursions for both just to be sure they are available.  Machu Picchu is a three day overland beginning in Manta, Ecuador and rejoining the ship in Lima, Peru.  It will be our first cruise adventure (on the land) with many more to follow.  Easter Island is bit easier with a four hour tour.  We think that will be plenty of time to see the Moai statues, ceremonial site of Tahai and some native lore.

I've linked up with another diver on the cruise.  He's done several world cruises with HA and been this route before.  I've bowed to his expertise and am letting him schedule our dive itinerary.  I think we'll do around 8 eight dives over the course of the trip.

We've got several of our planning documents.  We need six visa's during the curise.  HA gets four of them and we have to get India and Australia.

That is really all the news for our trip so far.

For some practice on using the blog I've posted some pictures of our cruise in early September.  We were on a seven day Royal Caribbean.  Usual swing through western Caribbean.  We had a great time.  I did two gravity cosasters and one zip line.  Nice SCUBA in Cozumel.

Post some comments so I see how this works and thanks for sharing with us.
