Puerto Chacabuco, Chile (Feb 11)

Puerto Chacabuco is nestled into the Chilean fjords amidst stunning scenery. Not much of a town, it serves as the gateway to scenic wonders. And, because we didn’t anchor until noon, there was time for a tango lesson in the morning! Eschewing the long (and expensive) ship-sponsored tours, we made our own adventure, took the tender into the port (such as it is) and then grabbed a local bus to the next town over, Puerto Aysen which gave us more opportunities to see the amazing countryside.

    Bill Courville was probably giving the tango lessons in short order….

    Is it that different from tap dancing?

Notes: We do not have great connectivity when we are at sea, so you all get a break during those days! Also, if/when you post a comment, please add your name, otherwise we have no idea who wrote it. We left San Francisco Sunday 1/15 when it was cold, rainy and foggy.  After a day at sea, got to Ensenada, Mexico today to scattered showers, but hired a taxi and went to Dad and Korki's old place on the beach which brought back lots of memories and had a tour around Ensenada. Considerable development since family used to go here 20 years ago! Our ship View from dad's place View of Ensenada from ship

January 10: T-minus 5 days

"Where in the World are Bill and Bob?"   On January 15, 2023 we will board Oceania's Insignia in San Francisco for a 180 day round the world cruise.   Known for its cuisine, small ship size (656 passengers) -- hence its ability to dock in smaller ports-- and informal dress code (they call it country club casual) it seemed like a good fit.  So, for those who are interested in "where in the world are Bill and Bob," here's our map and itinerary for the first half of 2023: Around the World in 180 days.   San Francisco to San Francisco | Jan 15, 2023 | 180 Days | Insignia Map of Round the World Cruise Itinerary Hi ho, Hi ho... it's around the world we go ..... ;)

Acajutla, El Salvador

El Salvador was our last stop in Central America before heading further south. The 7 hour land tours departed at 6:45 a.m., so once again we opted instead to take a local shuttle around the area. Acajutla is a very industrial port, and fairly impoverished- a dose of reality adding new  perspective as to why people want to leave. Also makes one thoughtful and grateful for what we have.
