When we retired and moved to Florida from Bellport,Long Island, NY, we began to cruise more and for longer periods of time. Our travels have taken us up the Amazon, around South America and the Antarctic, North Africa, the Mediterranean, Black Seas and the South Pacific. In 2014, 2015 and 2016 we circumnavigated the earth. We hope you enjoy some of our images and that they can help in planning your own dreams.
