Re: Off around the planet again on Sunday.
Good on ya I hope you enjoy your trip. I have recently had a cancer scare (Liver) and have a final scan and tests next Monday I am not hanging around for the results as I feel fine. I have booked a ticket for Singapore the following Thursday and will travel on to Jakarta, Makassar, Central and western Borneo, Malaysia and northern Thailand and hopefully return back here in April when the spring is here. I am not rich but what money I have I intend to spend while I still can travel and enjoy it.

Re: Off around the planet again on Sunday.
Hi John
Sorry to hear about your Liver , my son is one of the worlds leading Liver Cancer Consultants he is based at the Queen Alexandra Hospital , Portsmouth.
.
I am on a cruise ship, AMSTERDAM of Holland America, done three previous World Cruises on that ship, so we know she is good. We fly on Sunday to Miami.
Sailing from Fort Lauderdale , Florida, on Tuesday, to Columbia, San Blas Islands, Panama, Peru, Calleo and a trip up to Machu Pichu in the Andes, and a few ports down that coast to Chile, across to Rapa Nui or Easter Island as it is better known, then Pitcairn's Island, Tahiti,
Moorea, Bora Bora, Tonga, four ports in New Zealand and four in Australia, Komodo Island, Bali, Semarang Java and get off in Singapore and stay for a week in a hotel. before flying home. so home at the start of April.
Again I am nearly 84, Not leaving my money to anyone, I am enjoying every penny.
Enjoy your trip , sounds good.
Cheers
Brian
