Fascinating and insightful about the dynamic of people relations on the cruise. Amazing how you stay so enthusiastic about your daily travel opportunities and views. Cool about the Canadian news anchor.

I’m loving following “Partout!” I wondered what have you enjoyed most and least about your adventure? What stop made you want to return the most, possibly only on land?

Not knowing the day of the week, forgetting the date and feeling very happy, is not that the ultimate state of mind…..

I’m enjoying your cruise updates, photos and insights so much! Thank you for sharing! Chile has been on my bucket list for a long time…everyone I know who has visited there describes it as an amazing country. Mimi and I are on the Caribbean side of Mexico for two weeks, then back to Mazatlan. I’ll visit Nancy in Zihuatenejo at the end of March. So happy to be in sunshine and warm breezes! Bon continuation! Denise

Terrific! I remember the night you unveiled this idea of six months at sea and how I feared for your sanity — the woman who couldn’t sit through the movie Titanic and not because of the iceberg — because of your mal de mer. thanks for keeping us current. Tom is stalking you constantly, looking for wave heights, wind direction and force, etc. From Rossland, BC at the moment, Karen & Tom

I LOVE this post! So much wonderful information and I’m so happy you are truly enjoying this trip so much. I love Louis’ dramatic photos and I can’t wait to find out what he may have brought too much of😊. Am also really looking forward to your interviews and portraits. That will truly be a treat. The crew and other passengers sound marvelous and I’m sure, as you said, you’ll make lasting friendships as a result of this trip.

Delightful revisit of your first month. But honestly, the thing that stands out is how beautiful your skin is — both of you — in that first picture.

I’m excited to see your profiles of fellow passengers! In the meantime, can you give us a typical day at sea–When do you get up? What do you usually eat for breakfast? Classes (what kind? Is there a schedule?) Exercise? Do you have routines, or are you enjoying being routine-free?

Doris, do you remember my apartment on 74th St–that was only a little over 300 sf–the outdoor terrace made all the difference, even in the winter!

Can’t wait for your post about Ushuaia, Drake Passage and going ‘round the Horn! So glad you are continuing to experience awe while cruising. We experienced that sense also — at least for our first 20-some cruises, although some of the gold plate wore off eventually. We are back to normal after our rough trip home, and beginning to prepare for our own Antarctica journey. Hugs from both of us for both of you, Ruth
