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!

Singapore - Little India

By Pat Patick • August 11, 2026
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" .

Front row (L to R) is Ellie, Rick, their visiting friend, Sue, Christy and Angela. Back Row - Me, Bosco, Delia, John, Terri & Lori.

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?!?
