Seasickness

You’ve heard of the affliction called “homesickness”, impassively defined as “a longing for one’s home during a period of absence from it.” Well, I’m feeling that now, but for another kind of home…my sea home. Knowing that we have spent much time on the cruise ship Insignia, our friend and Oceania butler, Priyan, sent a prophetic message to me saying, “Insignia is ur home town!” So I guess you could say I’m feeling “seasickness”, in this case a longing to return to the ship…and am about to cure it.

Just around the corner in 2020 we are rejoining our sea home on Oceania’s Insignia to cruise again Around the World in 180 Days. For six months we will circle the globe from Miami to San Francisco, happily revisiting some ports of call we’ve been to before, and exploring many new ones. And, proof that we are not alone in our travel addiction, there will be at least forty returning guests onboard, and many familiar staff, from our previous cruise adventures. So it will, indeed, be like going home.

I invite you to come along on our journey, and I’ll try my best to keep the posts coming from our “home town”.
