I do not mean for this to be a longwinded story, but it is a bit involved: Dad and I did a crossing a few years back on Voyager, and enjoyed it immensely, promising to return. Last year, our Navigator crossing we planned got nixed for an early drydock, and we could not reschedule. We found a Silversea crossing in Sept, but then found out in July that Mom was terminal, so we cancelled and enjoyed her final months with her.

Mother passed away recently, and now Dad and I, and my brother will be crossing from Cape Town to Rio (Regent Mariner) in celebration of mother's life and our fabulous family. You may not have wanted all that detail, but it means so much to me to be travelling with Dad again, and that my brother has agreed to join us, that I decided to share it:

Dec 03-04 Cape Town, South Africa
Dec 05 At Sea, International Waters
Dec 06-07 Walvis Bay, Namibia
Dec 08-09 At Sea, International Waters
Dec 10 St. Helena (Jamestown), UK
Dec 11-14 At Sea, International Waters
Dec 15 Vitória, Brazil
Dec 16-18 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

The boys are headed to sea.
