On January 3rd I fly to San Diego where I will board the Holland America "Rotterdam" the following day. I took this cruise last spring and so enjoyed it that I am doing it again. I have listed the itinerary. I will be getting off the ship early in Moorea, French Polynesia and staying through the end of March at a house I have rented. I am getting pretty excited about this adventure, and how many snowstorms I will miss in Denver. As you can see by the pictures I am planning on lots of time by the pool, snorkeling and kayaking. I envision living in shorts or a swimsuit. My older son, JIII will be joining me the end of March and we will fly home together ( he will adopt some of my luggage for the flight home - he travels light, I do not).
