| AROUND THE WORLD IN 37 DAYS! October 1, 2009 - November 6, 2009 | |
|---|---|
On the first day of the trip I flew out of Toronto, Canada to Beijing, China. I spent 3 days in Beijing before boarding the Diamond Princess for my Southest Asia cruise. During my 16 days on the Diamond Princess I visited Shanghai, Okinawa, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Singapore & Thailand. After disembarking the ship I spent the day in Bangkok before flying to Athens, Greece late that evening. I had two days and one night in Athens before boarding the Royal Princess for my Holy Land cruise. During my 12 days on the Royal Princess I stopped at two of the Greek Isles followed by one port in Turkey. Next there was two full days in Israel followed by a 2-day overland excersion in Egypt where I spent the night in Cairo, took a cruise on the Nile and saw the Great Pyramids. After leaving Egypt there were three full days at sea before the cruise ended in Venice, Italy where I spent two days before flying the rest of the way around the world on my journey home. Below, on the left are 3 maps. The one on top shows my Southeast Asia cruise route. The middle map is an overview of the entire trip. The bottom map shows the route for the Holy Land cruise.
