So I'm hopping a freighter to China...
Well, actually Vietnam. But I'll make a stop in China.
It just seemed like the thing to do. I'm in Oakland now waiting as they load cargo. I'm the only passenger on a 1,000 foot ship for the next 19 days. Here's my ship: http://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/...:CMA_CGM_RHONE. I got whisked aboard before I could take an exterior photo. Since I'm the only passenger, I get the owner's cabin on the top deck. Here are a few pictures of my cabin area. I also have the use of a lounge on another floor, and I can share the crew's gym. So if anybody needs me, I won't be around for the next few weeks as I sail my private 1,000 foot yacht across the Pacific. |

Here's the view from my porthole right now. They're still unloading containers, so I have a feeling that it may end up being obstructed when they load the new ones, but I'm up high enough that I may still get a view.

I like journeys, and I've done long trips on trains, cruise ships, and ferries over the past ten years. I was wondering what to do next, and the cargo ship thing came to mind. I thought it would be cool to cross an ocean by ship. I've been thinking about it for several years and finally decided to pull the trigger.

The ship is metal, so I suspect that small caliber bullets will just bounce off.

They will never ever figure out where I'm at, unless they read this thread.
I'll get off in Vietnam, meander through Cambodia and Thailand, then fly to Japan for a few days and take a cruise ship back home.

1. Is there a country you are more excited to visit then the others? 2. Any particular event you have planned that you are looking forward to? 3. First time to southeast Asia? Hope you have a great trip. Last edited by Shoes; 03-26-2018 at 04:02 PM.. |

It'll be my first time there and in Japan, so it'll all be fun. Angkor Wat will be the main land attraction, so that's probably the highlight. But I get a one-day stop in Petropavlovsk on the cruise ship on the way back, and I'm stoked about that. It's not that there's much to do there, but I never thought I would set foot on the Kamchatka peninsula.

Seems like a titanic amount of time without tv or internet.
