I’ve been vagabonding around South America for 7 months and have a wealth of adventures and memories to show for it.
But that around-the-world-cruise dream just wouldn’t die.
So this week, I will be reviving it. Different cruise, same concept: circumnavigate the globe. Villa Vie’s Odyssey will set sail from Belfast, Northern Ireland, where she is currently getting a makeover. I’m in London, on my way to join the launch in Belfast later this week.
Still a bit battle-scarred from the last attempt, so I’m being more cautious this time, buying the journey in segments, but the plan is to complete the whole thing. Keeping my fingers crossed that this one will have a better outcome. World, here I come…

Basha, Good for you. I want to get my money back before I am willing to sign up with VV or any other, but I will be checking your blog and getting vicarious adventures. Wishing you a wonderful time. Safe Travels! Best wishes, Anna
Thanks Anna. Yeay, I was one of the lucky ones, I got all my money back through chargebacks. I don’t think I would have been able to sign up for this one, if I hadn’t. Hope you can join us at some point!
Fantastic!!! I’m so glad another round the world cruise has arisen for you. I’m crossing fingers for you again. Second time will be the charm!
I sure hope so. I don’t think I have it in me, to go through this a third time!
Great news!
Indeed it is. It will be even better when we actually set sail.
Wishing you calm seas!
Thanks Margret, we’ll need them!
Somehow, I lost you and now you are found. I’m anxiously awaiting the next episode.
Me too!
How exciting for you and those of us who live vicariously with you!
Happy to have so many vicarious travelers!
See ya
Yes! But that’s two words, Bev… 🙂

Couch-cruising is a a very comfy way to do it! You won’t even need any sea-sickness pills…

Yeah Basia, I knew you would come out smelling like a 🌹. Segments seem wise at this point. I have my fingers crossed for all of you.

So excited to meet you – I too am on Villa Vie starting the 30th and have been following you since the crash of my dreams too with Life at sea! I am cabin 6065 in case we miss each other!
Hi Pat, yes, I’m looking forward to meeting you in person also. See you in a few days…
I only have one word for you about this: dinner in Paris
LOL LOL. ‘Tis true. I fully intend to honor my bets. We are scheduled to be in Paris on June 8. Just go ahead and make your Michelin reservation. (Although, she hasn’t sailed YET!)
