Thanks for sharing this wonderful adventure with us!

where to catch a Bus or a train to reach our destination Coming from a cruise, we disembark in Kobe, Japan pier, What is easier to take from Kobe pier to downtown Osaka and how long thus it take to get there?
KOBE TO OSAKA I TOOK THE HOLLAND AMERICA SHUTTLE FROM THE PIER TO THE AIRPORT AFTER STOPPING FOR A TOUR OF A SAKE PLANT. FROM THE AIRPORT I TOOK THE TRAIN TO THE CITY. BECAUSE I TOOK THE TOUR ON THE WAY TO THE AIRPORT I CAN'T TELL YOU THE TIME FOR A STRAIGHTTRIP, SORRY.
Napier, NZ Would I love to be there with Art Deco style and it's vintage atmosphere - The sports cars
are just amazing - My favorite place so far - You look great next to the Buick - even matches
your T-shirt! - The pictures are just amazing - as usual, you are doing a wonderful job

So glad you were able to start your trip without the "storm" delays. Just got home myself with stories of long delays. Enjoying the views and history from your trip. Looking forward to more adventures. Safe travels friend.
Gisborne, NZ from the Oosterdam What a beautiful picture of Gisborne Harbor - and I loved the outlook from the hill -
I guess I could live there and be perfectly happy. Enjoy the rest of your voyage I love
viewing your blogs - ILYC
Beautiful Harbor Chuck, Sounds like another great trip. Australia and New Zealand are still on are lists of places to see, but Linda has trouble with long trips right now, so it will have to wait. Your comments and pictures reinforce it as a must see place.
Have a good trip back.

Another Bon Voyage?!? Hi Chucky!!
I have missed you! I didn't realize this planned trip of yours was already here. My how time flies.
Are you traveling alone or is the lovely Serena with you? What are your destinations this time? I was in Auckland for a day, Fiji for two and Australia for 6 months...if I can be of any assistance in telling you cool places to go. Not sure if you collect souvenirs but there are some interesting ones in Australia for sure! Can't wait to read more about your magnificent life! Miss you, friend. Jack says hello too. Mel
-Your nightmare with airlines I am so glad you finally got to Auckland, NZ after all the difficulties with the airlines - it must have
been a nightmare - You are amazing! Now the fun begins and I am looking forward reading your
next blog on board of ship - Take care and enjoy your voyage - ILY
Have a great time Didn't realize you had left. You may have missed Feb 13 but you'll get it back on your return. The Chinese New Year affected my family too. I'll explain when you get back.
Auckland You are intrepid for sure.
Dale and I will be very interested to hear about your New Zealand cruise on Oceania.
We're planning a trip to NZ next year and a cruise may be the way to go.
Great detail Hi Chuck,
Look forward to your postings. Just somewhere else to add to my list. Everything looks beautiful and your descriptions tell it all. Continued safe travels.
Positive feeling Hello,
I got a real positive feeling when reading your blog on Bruges. As a city guide to be (still studying) I read blogs to know what people do when they're visiting our lovely city. The more I know about what you look for, the better I can help others when walking them through Bruges.
Already I'm doing free walks for people from the hostels. But eager to learn more.
That's why I started my own blog. Answering the questions people ask. If you know people who'll visit Bruges, have them read the blog (http://brugesbyandy.blogspot.be) and they'll probably find some useful tips on it.
