Day 3 in Tokyo - FUN DAY!!

It was so hard to narrow my pictures down from this morning's excursion to Digital Labs Borderless ! I can't wait to go back and see their other installation called Planets - we just ran out of time, trying to fit everything in! Loved this place - the rooms are constantly changing - so you don't even have to move and with in minutes your immersed in another world! So cool !! loved it!!

After 2.75 hours in Borderless we dashed over to our Sumo lunch show. This was highly recommended by my girlfriend Meagan, who was recently there, and I am so glad she told us  to do!! Again tons of Fun, the lunch was super yummy and you could have as much as you wanted, I had seconds !! Bosco got picked to be one of 8 competitors to take on the wrestlers - he was pumped!! Sadly he didn't win his match, but gave it an enthusiastic try!

After Sumo we went for a walk in the area near Senso - Ji Temple and ran into Theresa, Riley & Gavin. They taught us how to do our fortunes at the Temple; and Riley was looking to upgrade his from Bad to Good. You tie Bad fortunes to wire racks so they blow away!

PAPEETE - NIGHT LIFE- BACHLORETTE PARTY

By Patricia Patrick • January 19, 2026
I threw together an impromptu Bachelorette party for Angie tonight! Angie and Gian are getting married for a third time in Hawaii next week.They will be alone this time and it turns out she never had a Shower or Bachelorette to celebrate her first 2 marriages on the Ship, last May! Our girl deserved a fun night to celebrate her! So we took over a section the outdoor seating at Les 3 Brassuers, and their great band had us all up dancing! It's amazing what you can do with a bunch of WhatsApp messages to fellow ladies, some tulle, sparkles and always handy flower lei's ! One of the ladies even went and bought her some lingerie! I love our supportive community!

PAPEETE, FRENCH POLYNESIA

I got to go Sailing Again! We were supposed to head to the COOK ISLANDS after the lovely Rangiroa and the Tuamotu Archipelago, but due to stormy weather there, with all unprotected tender ports, they made the decision to head us southwest, back to the protected port in Papeeta (Tahiti). We got lucky and Holly ( pictured below) found us a sailboat available for charter.

RANGIROA, FRENCH POLYNESIA - Drone Shots

By Patricia Patrick • January 14, 2026
Since Janette Emerich is generous enough to share her drone photos with all of us on board the Ship, I have to share them with you all. This beauty is why I said we felt like we were in a screen saver the whole day in Rangiroa! I love the height perspective in the photos it really captures so much more. Blue Lagoon below:
