I so love having Friends and Family visit! I truly love my life here on the Odyssey and really want to have everybody experience the magic. So please really consider coming - it's super affordable - your biggest expense will just be flying here and back.I have no visitors committed for 2026 onward - so have lots of my free stay perks available.

Having company gave me a reason to motivate and host an impulsive sail away part on my balcony as we left Port Denara, Fiji. Impressively I was able to fit 9 of us on my 80 sf, just couldn't get them all in one photo. From the bottom left corner clockwise is my hand on orange flask, Sheri, Bosco, Jimbo, Bob & Sarah, Joanne's leg and Scott and Cathy, who took the photo, are against the rail but not shown. I served 5 mystery jerky's I collected at various ports and had them all taste and guess which was elk, reindeer, salmon, fish or moose. Reindeer was the favorite - sorry Rudolf! Chips, crackers & cheese rounded off the mix.

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!
