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 ..... ;)

International Date Line (June 28-28)

We are in the middle of the Bering Sea heading to Alaska and just crossed the International Date Line. Going east (as we are) you add a day; going west, you lose a day. So we get two June 28s! Groundhog Day for real, anyone? Although the Cossack, Semyon Dezhnev, sailed the Sea in 1648, both the Sea and the Strait are named for Vitus Bering, a Danish-born Russian explorer who sailed the Sea in 1728. Bisecting the area and running north to south, is the International Date Line, a somewhat arbitrary delineation separating one calendar day from the next. As with crossing the equator, certain rituals apply: When we crossed the equator, we transitioned from Scallywag to Shellback (see January 29 post). Crossing the IDL, we have now been initiated into the Silent Order of the Far East Mysteries.
