Memories!

While going through some old postcards, I came across some from 1987 when I took a Holland-America cruise - starting March 8th - to Singapore, Bankok, Hong Kong, Chilung, Taiwan

Kagoshima, Japan...across the inland sea to Kobe' and then to Honolulu on April 4th.

I can't believe it's been 20 years since that trip. I found Singapore clean and beautiful - at least in the places I visited - and I enjoyed the bullet train from Okayama to Kobe. Hong Kong life moved at a crazy pace and I enjoyed Taiwan too. We did get to go into China, first to Macau by hydrofoil and then to Zhong Shan.

It certainly was an amazing trip. The ship was huge and the food and service wonderful. But I prefer my quiet simple lifestyle here in Vermont and have no desire to go crusing again!
