Moorea


 Moorea is a volcanic Polynesian Island covered with lush vegetation and a few small villages.  There were no adventures today.  We rode around in a comfortable bus stopping at a few overlooks and a restored Tiki Village where Ruth Ann discovered this giant black pearl.


Drummers and ukulele players are always there to greet us.


Bungalows with glass floors and night lights shining below can be rented in the lagoon shown is this photograph.

We have now logged over 14,000 miles.

Neil Young sang these lyrics in Harvest Moon.  Our band has been kind enough to let this drummer sing this song and I sing it from my heart for my wife;

Signed, Sealed and Delivered.

We signed up for this wondrous world journey nearly three years ago.  Our love has been sealed even tighter through our amazing adventures we have shared during these past five months.  And we will soon be delivered home... Our voyage has traversed more than 36,000 nautical miles, 5 continents and 25 countries.  After 130 blogs, 10 pounds and 146 days wondering where I am in this world, I will be ready to sit on our back porch and listen to Kyle David Watts' song, In My Backyard. First of all, I want to thank you for reading my blog.  It meant a great deal to me to know that I have had readers share our sojourn and inspired me to keep spending time in quiet contemplation and reflection (and looking for just the right travel quotes and love songs).  Thank you for your comments which were important to me and made the blog more interesting.  I hope you enjoyed it!  I sure did! Our family has been mentioned and anyone who has followed knows we love and che...

Closer To Home

Our voyage began in Miami, Florida This week, I've been dreaming about our adult children, Marji and Justin, as children and our dog, Shannon, in our previous home.  I've also dreamt about our children, grand children, Grace and Caroline. and cat, Chef, in our current home.  I know their spouses are in there somewhere. Last night, we enjoyed dining with two New York City attorneys, Mary and Mellard.  Mary works for the prosecutor's office specializing in political fraud, bribes, etc.  She is fearful she might not have a job when she returns home?!?!😬 Today was our roughest sea day. so we spent most of the day in the supine position.  We felt like drunken sailors when we tried to walk.  I even did the Smitty Shuffle once. Once we reached the Inside Passage of Alaska, the seas settled and I attended a beer tasting.  Featured, were beers from China, Japan, Australia, Alaska and Fiji.  The more I drank the better they tasted so I'd say the last one w...

First Date

Image
 Thursday, March 23, 1972 was our first date where we dined at Wally's Roast Beef in South Zanesville, Ohio.  We munched on roast beef sandwiches, deep fried mushrooms and milkshakes.  I was 19 and Ruth Ann was 18 years of age. This blog isn't about our world cruise so skip it if you're not interested in how Ruth Ann and I met. This is the view from behind my 1968 Rogers blue sparkle pearl drum set I was playing a couple weeks earlier at The Lounge on Maple Avenue in Zanesville, Ohio.  I was playing in a five piece rock-n-roll band called Crystal.                                                                                                 The Band At that time, drum solos were po...
