Somewhere in the South China Sea, in a galaxy far, far away ... was the Odyssey and a bunch of fun loving travelers....who had an idea for a fun cocktail party!

The idea was born when these four ( L to R) Angel, Bosco, Me & Eddie where on a vacation at a Raja Ampat Resort about a month ago where we first witnessed this unique head covering! We decided there we needed to bring it back to our good friends on the Odyssey and create a cocktail party. So last night we advertised the idea by strolling through both dining rooms at dinner and told all to bring their own bath towel to happy hour today and we would show them how to sport this amazing look!

About 40 Residents showed up and so many really embraced the theme! We should have held on May the fourth, but we called this the rain date! Eddie and Angel greeted all with their light saber archway and Bosco and I taught some residents and then they taught others and so on and so on! It's a party! Our great bar staff even created a special yummy cocktail for us!

Singapore - Little India

Little India is a neighborhood in Singapore that I wanted to explore becase I love Indian food and their Temple's have such unique gods and Architecture, super colorful and detailed. Below is the Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple, Singapore's first temple dedicated to Veeramakaliammam or the Kali , a fierce incarnation of Shiva's wife and the "Destroyer of Evil" .

KOH CHANG, THAILAND

By Pat Patrick • July 26, 2026
We just relaxed on the Island of Koh Chang, Thailand. It's one of the largest Thai Islands in the Gulf of Thailand and it has a dense, steep jungle & National Park covering the interior of the Island, which extends off shore, to coral reefs. The coast line is dotted with beaches and villages. This was a tender port, so we decided to stay on the Island for 3 nights, to be able to experience the nightlife. Turns out, it is low season, so nightlife was pretty sleepy. However, we did find a new favorite night time activity! Any Guesses?!?
