Today is a day at sea without any ports as our boat sails from Hiroshima through the Kanmon Strait to Fukuoka. Since there isn't any port of call, the ship offers a few extra events and activities for its guests. One of which is a brunch in the main dining room. Our family decides to partake and head into the ship's dining room. We order several different dishes which includes a fresh fruit...

Osaka & Kochi

Today we are in Osaka. It's a city that all of us have been through several times before. With this in mind we don't have a very big list of things to do.

One of the things I enjoy about Holland America is they serve congee for...

So off the ship we go and we spend our first little while in Charlottetown exploring the waterfront and retracing some...

It's now time to do a wrap up on my fall trip to Morocco. In a last hurrah, both Gimpy and I have deemed this as our last "big" trip together.

If you've spent anytime to read through the trip, Thank You! If you haven't and want to, you can...
