Where exactly do we go on the trip?

We first fly to San Diego, then take a bus to Ensenada, Mexico, where the ship is docked.

From there, we sail to Hilo, Hawaii, to refuel for the day.

Then we sail 2 weeks to Japan.  We'll visit two ports there, Yokohama and Kobe.

Then it's on to Shanghai and Hong Kong in China.

Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam is next.  We will do a side trip to Cambodia.

We'll visit Singapore on Chinese New Year.

Then we sail to Rangoon, Burma (Myanmar.)

We cross the Bay of Bengal and arrive at Cochin, India.

We'll stop in Mauritius for a day to refuel.

Then we head to Cape Town, South Africa.

Next up is Namibia.

Then we sail up the entire coast of Africa to Morocco.

Finally, we end up in Southampton, England.

As one friend remarked, "But why aren't you going to any interesting countries?"
