Tokyo - Day 3

Bosco is a wizard at figuring out all our transportation needs. So nice to just be able to trust him and follow along! There are so many subway and train lines - they are well marked and a lot of English is on signs.

We were both stuffed from Lunch, so we chilled at hotel for a while and skipped dinner. We just had some snacks while we watched the Free projection show, in the park, in front of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building.

After the show we walked around the Shibuya area near our hotel again and went in our first Don Quixote Store ( Dollar type store on massive steroids ) this one had 8 floors of things you didn't even think you might want. It was packed at 1030 pm too! Also when is the last time you saw a phone booth - super clean too!

IN THE AIR - literally and for real

By Pat Patrick • November 4, 2026
October has been a bit of a blur! My last post from Thailand , was about medical treatment and I'm happy to report all good; pathology negative and I'm healing nicely. What I haven't posted about, is what has been going on in the background of my fantastic voyage around the world . You have probably already seen a lot of news coverage and social media post and sorry I have done none. I have been busy weighing options, the logistics ( visas ugh! ) and gathering my things: organizing, weighing, purging, repacking, weighing again and flying. Below is my attempt of the short version, from my point of view and a map of area (and my quick stops) for reference.

Pattaya, Thailand - My healthcare

By Pat Patrick • October 23, 2026
This Blog is more than a journal of my travels around the world, it's a major memory tool for me in documenting all the events along the way. You often ask me how we take care of medical things, as we travel non stop and today is a perfect example. A fellow resident had posted on one of our WhatsApp groups ( this is the main way we all- residents, crew and stateside support all communicate ) that she had an excellent contact for anyone looking to get medical appointments in the Pattaya / Bangkok area.

Off the Coast of PATTAYA, THAILAND

Off the coast of Pattaya, Thailand a talented and dedicated group of residents, the Odyssey Troubadours , performed A Night of Broadway for the enjoyment of all the other residents and senior staff on board. The group of 20 performed, 15 Broadway songs that had some special Odyssey edits, personalizing them to our journey. We loved it ! Such a clever, talented and fun loving group. I was upfront and focused on getting candid pictures of the talented cast.
