I know this is old news now, but yours truly is in it!

Indulge me - there is a brief shot of me in Cruise terminal last Monday when we were waiting anxiously to board the ship in Belfast. I am chatting with my new friend Richard Mawson, from the UK , who I just met there and he joined us for a brief, but action packed 5 days. Below is some of the ways we pass the time while at sea. So many choices and never enough time, the days truly Sail by!!!

Today we are in the second largest city in all of Indonesia, Surabaya. The Port is huge and busy, as there are tons of freightors and ferries here. We had a warm welcome when we pulled in yesterday evening.

More FUN with the Elephants ! Washing this gentle creature was so special. The handlers at the Sanctuary are so informative and caring and took sooo many pictures for us!

MASON'S ELEPHANT SANTUARY was a little slice of Heaven! in crazy, congested Bali ! I really wanted to treat the Spa Manager Stacy and our Entertainment Manager Kelly, to a fun, non-stressful event that they could truly enjoy! Stacy had never seen elephants before and her squeal of delight, when we first laid eyes on them was pure joy!
