SEWARD, ALASKA, USA

The Ship had to cancel our port stop in SEWARD, ALASKA but nicely provided a shuttle bus to still take us there, on our 2nd day in Anchorage. So I joined the above group of Residents on a 4 hour boat tour in Seward,  which was a 2 hour drive from Anchorage. A long day, we left the Ship at 8 am and returned just after 7pm, but nice to see another part of Alaska. Above group from L to R - Bob & Sarah, Darrell, Jim Maas, Russ & Kelly, Steve and Angela, Anna, Sherrie, Jimbo and Me.

When we arrived in Seward we had some time to walk around the town before the boat tour. I was more content on this excursion to soak up the sun and scenery than focus on getting photos. So most of these shots I honestly borrowed from friends post.

When we got back to the Ship the Chef greeted us with a fish special - they had gotten fresh Halibut and cooked exquisitely! Yum!!

KUCHING, MALAYSIA - BORNEO ISLAND

BORNEO ISLAND is a fascinating place, that I had honestly only heard of from the reality tv show Survivor. I'm still learning so much, but I had no idea it is the largest island in Asia and 3rd largest island in the World! It is a mini continent, with 3 different Countries sharing the island's land mass ( Indonesia 73%, Malaysia 26% and Brunei 1% ). We are only going to 2 ports in Malaysia now, one in each of the states of Sarawak and Sabah . Below is a video that highlights and explains thing well.
