South Pacific 51-Day Cruise

 







Our first complete day on the Holland America Volendam is off to a good start.  Yesterday, we bade farewell to Elaine & Patrick (and Gary and Maria who were visiting from the east coast).  The morning at their home started off great with a delicious breakfast followed by a lovely walk around the complex and an adjacent park. Their beautiful home is in a hillside wildland edge setting, and the adjacent park is a treasure.  

We'll be back for Thanksgiving, which sounds like it will be a large family gathering!

Onboard today, we are learning the ship, connecting to the wi-fi, and planning out our next few days.  The seas are relatively calm--windy with white caps and swells, but nothing too rough.

If you wish to track the movements of the Volendam,  you can use the Marine Traffic App on your phone (or presumably on your laptop), and of course can check back here for daily updates.
