Itinerary

  Less than a month now until embarkation. We have both almost finished practice-packing for our Luggage Forwarding. Viking is kind enough to ship one large  suitcase each directly from our home to our stateroom! So, for those of you who wish to follow along on our great adventure, here is our itinerary as of the moment - on a trip such as this, of course, everything is subject to change at a moment's notice! Our original itinerary had us going through the Suez Canal and around the Middle East - but that changed with the start of the Israeli-Hamas conflict. Now, we are going around Africa instead.     World Cruise Itinerary   DATE DESCRIPTION EXCURSION   18-Dec-24 Wed Depart The Villages   19-Dec-24 Thu Embark Viking Sky   20-Dec-24 Fri ...

Portugal

  Algarve, Portugal April 28, 2025 We were very much looking forward to our visit to Algarve where we were to explore the Benagil Cave by boat but the ship needed to anchor and tender guests to the pier.   Rain and high winds were coming making the tender operations unsafe with high waves!   So, the decision was made to continue to Porto, Portugal. Happily, this gave us another “sea day,” and Team Baggo was back on. And the blue team was victorious yet again! That evening, our favorite cocktail waitress, Kathleen, who is from the Philippines, made Sandy’s favorite after-dinner drink – Irish Coffee – BUT she makes it a double with Cappuccino and it is Spectacular!!!!  Kathleen is now on her holiday at home before her new contract begins.  And, of course, there’s Chris – who mans the bar in the Atrium! If he sees either one of us coming, he automatically pours a double Gray Goose on the rocks and a cranberry and tonic, and has them ready for us!! Porto, Portugal...

Raratonga, The Cook Islands

  RAROTONGA, COOK ISLANDS    JANUARY 22, 2025 The volcanic island of Rarotonga is the sleepy capital of the Cook Islands.   Because of the mountainous terrain, a roadway encircles the island, but vehicles cannot cross the island’s center directly – only by 4x4;   inland routes can be traveled only by foot. VIKING SKY GUEST BOAT COMPETITION A handful of The Villages, FL, guests volunteered to design and build a “boat” that will hopefully float during competition day in the main swimming   pool!!!   Team member chairs were given a starter kit and in addition, could scrounge up any enhancements that might enrich the floatation and pizzazz of this creation!!!!!   This is the initial model with technical expertise in building accessories being added.   Launching takes place in two weeks so more to come!!!!! JIM KREER’S 80 th BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION JANUARY 25, 2025 Jim’s big day began with the daily competition of Baggo (like Cornhole)....
