Spent today in Maputo, Mozambique. Again, surprised by a port as we were expecting something much different. Sadly, the rain caused us to miss things and return back to the ship earlier than we wanted.

Is sea sickness generalized? Meaning I had never got sick sick then boom out of no where I did.. Are the wristbands with the plastic white bead still the best preventative?


I have been on many cruises and also have been fishing a number of times and never have been seasick. One of the people we met on the cruise had never been seasick either his entire life and about a month ago started getting seasick. Someone had the wristbands and he started wearing those and has been doing much better.

He developed a dental abscess and I wonder if f this is creating his seasick issues.
The cruise has been great. There have been a few disappointments but overall it is difficult to complain about an ATW trip. Thank you for following our journey.

We visited Nosy Be, Madagascar today. Certainly is not what we are used to back home.

We had four sea days so I got lazy and did not update the blog but hope to catch up tomorrow. Today was a visit to Victoria, Seychelles. A beautiful island with some magnificent beaches and surprise visit with huge tortoises.

We have continued on our journey, and I keep forgetting to post on TD.com of our daily blog posts. We had a great day in Colombo Sri Lanka yesterday, so I wanted to link the blog for yesterday. Be sure to look through our previous stops. I think Airlie Beach or Sydney was my last post here.

Just a kind note. On June 6 in Lisbon Portugal. Our Lady Of Fatima is 13 minutes away. Beautiful Churches in Portugal. Miraculous holy water at Fatima. In case this is of interest.


Thank you for the suggestion, but we have been before. Now, a couple from Houma on The World Cruise have booked an excursion with Viator to visit Fatima.

Yes there is, but they will have to win 7/8 of the last 12, and not dropping any more midweek games would be a good idea. There isn't a ton of hope that this team can win that many games though.


Thank you for the update, appreciate it

LSU Baseball question

Hey, I’m out of the country until July and have been trying to keep up with the baseball team. Appears wheels came off. Is there still a chance of making the NCAA playoffs? Thanks
Chicken you reinstate lc412000 I will get Verne Lundquist to autograph a photo for you and I will send it to you when I get home.

Fourchon thanks for keeping us posted on this adventure. Excellent job on the blog also. I don't think i would have the patience with the internet on the ship especially now that I see how many pics you post in your blogs


Thank you......I appreciate it. Sadly, tonight is the last night in Sydney so the Wi-Fi will suck again starting tomorrow night. Back to 4 second videos and 4 hours to upload 20-25 photos.

When we get back to the ship (jumped off for a few extra days in Sydney) I will be sure to tell him this. He will get a good laugh from it.

Super nice man. At 85 his memory is still sharp. Couple of things he pointed out were the Jacob Hester five runs on 4th down against Florida. He spoke a great deal about the game and Tebow but said the calls by Coach Miles and the Hester performance he would always remember. Also said Tiger Stadium is the loudest stadium he has ever visited. Shared some funny stories about Danielson and said man you guys (LSU fans) hated us when CBS changed night games to the afternoon. I told him yeah I was one of them.

Below is the link for our visit to Airlie Beach, Australia. While the day was a good one it became more interesting (towards the bottom of the day's blog) as I met someone that all of you know. It was a great visit, and I look forward to more with him.

Reminds me of a fake newspaper National Lampoon put out 50 years ago. One headline said, “Japan completely destroyed by earthquake”. Underneath it said, “Vacation plans of Iowa couple ruined”.

Enjoy your cruise. That sounds great.


Too funny, but true :lol:

I agree 1000%

I’m on a World Cruise and the itinerary has been changed due to these MFers.
When I have driven around Europe on vacation, I have always used Hertz or National.

The biggest suggestion I can offer you is not to get the large vehicle like we would do in the states for a couple of reasons:

1. Parking is hard to come by and a smaller car is easier to park

2. You might visit some locations which are not made for a larger vehicle, like trying to get inside castle walls

I have found driving in Europe to be very easy. Just relax and enjoy
