Itinerary Change #1

We’re currently in Güvercinlik, a village between Milas and Bodrum … in the Turkish province of Muğla. More specifically, we’re at the beach house Mui’s sister has in a subdivision overlooking the village. This little getaway is part of this year’s 4-month long trip to Türkiye to spend time with family. We’re making up for last year’s hurried departure within a week of arriving in İzmir … due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

I had an email from Oceania this morning … advising us of an itinerary change. Nothing major. And since the changes pertain to ports we will be visiting in July 2023, we are being given plenty of notice.

Basically, Juneau, Alaska has been eliminated due to a berthing conflict. Sitka, Alaska has been moved up by a day to replace Juneau on 5 July. Ketchikan, Alaska has been inserted where Sitka was on 6 July. Since we’ll be closer to Prince Rupert, Canada, the arrival time there has been adjusted to 8:00a … giving us three additional hours in this new-to-us port.

No quibbles about the new plans.Read more
