Oceania bundled RTW2023 with a couple of segments this year ... prior to or after the San Francisco to San Francisco voyage. Those longer versions of the itinerary went on sale at the same time theLeia mais

This voyage must be paid off by the end of June. My Chase credit card gives two points per dollar spent on travel. So, I'm usingLeia mais
Two to Travel We used Steve Dasseos who is an independent agent ... highly regarded and whom we used last time. He found us an AIG/Travelguard plan that works for us ... at a much better rate than we could get on our own.

The short story ...
United changed our December flight to Miami to an earlier departure ... 8:29a. It would have been OK if the flight was originating from COS ... which is a short drive away. It’sLeia mais

Done!!!
I paid the third and last installment of the final payment for RTW2023 today. The proof that I owe nothing further came in the form of an updated Oceania invoice.

One of the published "perks" for a world voyage with Oceania is the planned exclusive shoreside events. I say planned because they might change before — or even after — we embark upon ourLeia mais
Viajante Just curious, how many pieces of luggage do you bring on your WC? How many different outfits do you think you can make?
Two to Travel We brought 10 pieces (including carry-ons) this time ... the four that O shipped for us + what we brought with us (including our carryon bags with electronics, prescriptions, etc). We did not fly domestic first class this time from our house to Miami, so smaller bags. Plus, we shipped a collapsible bench to the hotel (included in the number I gave above) ... it's probably the best thing we brought with us as it replaced the coffee table in the room that was useless with storage and a place to rest our feet. Everything fit easily into the space available in the cabin ... with space to spare. As for how many outfits I can make. I have not counted, but plenty. Nothing that was a one-off made the final packing list.
Two to Travel I hope to do a photo essay of how we organized ourselves. Maybe on the next day at sea before we return to Miami.
