Where we are going

We discovered cruising in 2008, when we did a one-week Mexican Riviera cruise for my 50th birthday.  We were unexpectedly hooked and have since done two more cruises, including a gala 60th-birthday cruise for Gary on the biggest ship afloat, the Oasis of the Seas. 

We decided, though, that while big-ship mass-market cruising is undeniably a boatload of fun, we wanted to be able to get more up close and personal with the ports of call.  After a little research, we discovered river cruising:  small ships, excursions included, and itineraries that take you right through the heart of whatever country you are visiting.  And when we discovered that AMA Waterways has a trip to Vietnam, of all places, we were hooked!

Our itinerary is here: Two weeks in Vietnam and Cambodia, including a week-long cruise down the Mekong river on the MS La Marguerite.

And because our son is a Marine stationed at the Marine Corps Air Station in Iwakuni, Japan, we are going to take a little detour on the way home and spend a few days with him!

Can.

Not.

Wait.
