Our first Port in the Philippines! The lovely people of Subic Bay still showed up to greet us in the wind and rain this morning!

We are in the PHILIPPINES until the beginning of October, exploring just a few of the 7,641Islands. If you have been matching up our SHIP'S ITINERARY to my BLOG - you will see I am officially caught up! Or at least Current as of Today!!! We will see how long that last as I am disembarking the Ship tomorrow and going on a little beach holiday, to another island for 5 days and come back to the partying for our 1 year of sailing Anniversary!!! I am attaching the link to the latest Ship's Itinerary because I truly hope some of you will do some serious planning and come and join me for part of this great adventure!! My Philly Condo went to closing today and I now have no formal ties the USA, other than my family and friends! I also have no plans for any visits to the USA, but can always be tempted!

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.
