@illinilass We are going on a 15 day cruise from Singapore to Taipei ( the Gilded Eastern Kingdoms). We will probably go a day or two early to sightsee and have a special tea ceremony in Singapore. I don’t know what I was thinking besides saying “yes” when I think about the 17 1/2 plane flight!
I went with the same group of friends in 2022 to Italy, Croatia, Montenegro, Greece and Turkey on a cruise for 12 days.
In 2023, we went to Amsterdam, Belgium and on a Norway Fjords 7 day cruise. Both trips were wonderful!
I am hoping the next trip/cruise in 2026 will include Spain & Portugal OR the UK. :)
Before this, I let 40 years pass since my first trip to Europe. I do love the history, architecture, walled cities, cobblestone narrow streets and views of the sea. I figure I only have about 10 years left (if I am lucky) to see those countries! Seize the day!
@illinilass My first trip when I was in college (1976) was to Germany, Netherlands and Austria. I was with a singing group that was invited to sing/perform at Oktoberfest. We were there for two weeks. It was wonderful too!

CC, I’m so excited for you your Singapore-Tapai trip will definitely be worth the flight. I took a cruise similar to yours but on to Beijing a few years ago. If you have the chance sometime New Zealand and Australia are highly recommended! I was born with wanderlust and have very fortunate to travel to all 50 states and many foreign countries. Happy travels and look forward to your photos.
@illinilass Thank you, Dorothy. I never thought I would go to Australia due to the long flight of 15 hours! Now I will be on the plane even longer to Singapore. The flight to Europe is long enough in coach. Will see how I make it through. :)
