Made it onto the ship, Nat’l Geo Quest. Zodiacs are a blast. Next week: Panama by land.

I'm contemplating next moves as well... was hoping to do Vietnam end of March but after speaking to Joy, that most likely won't be happening, so moving Vietnam to June or July. Hopefully borders will be open by then. Thailand is also a bit difficult with the 2nd PCR Test in place until further notice, which I do not like at all... especially with Omicron - asymptomatic but positive in Thailand is not what I have in mind for a sojourn.

So maybe, maybe Sri Lanka (Galla/Wella) or Oman.

Confirmed for now:
May - Zoe
May - Marrakech return XY

They certainly are. In fact, I'd rather take a wild zodiac ride than anything a lux hotel could offer.

I hope for 2023 as that's exactly what holds me back from booking.

I want to say Thailand like others in this thread, but who knows with these restrictions

For those that were waiting on my review of Mar a Lago. The room they gave us, which was a gatehouse cottage was lovely. Spacious, well appointed etc...however two days in a row we ran out of hot water in the bathroom which was not great. The property itself is beautiful, nice grounds. Food and beverage is OK, reasonably priced. Didn't use the spa, the gym is pretty good. Beach club & pool were great for the afternoon. TRUMP is very much around and takes most of his meals at the restaurant on the patio and is a super nice, friendly guy. The shocking thing is the price tag for a cottage there (if you have a member who can book for you) is a fraction of what entry level rooms are going for at The Breakers, L'Eau, FS or even Brazilian Court (Slightly less than The Ben) these days.

I'm just back from 9 nights at Gili Lankanfushi. Had a wonderful stay and would absolutely recommend it.

Frankly not, but I will try. BBC is normally not available in Germany.
