  • Japan’s – Shogun and Samurai Trail

    Japan’s – Shogun and Samurai Trail
    Jul 16 2024
    Japan's Shogun and Samurai Trail A journey to Japan's Shogun and Samurai trail takes you through history, tradition and culture. History has a way of showing us how we are connected to those things that happened in our past. Our actions today are closely connected to things that happened in the past. One of the things that makes learning about and visiting historic places fascinating, educational and enlightening. We can learn so much about ourselves. I like to say "We learn more about the things we thought we already knew." I recently had the opportunity to travel with Oku Japan, a tour company exploring off the beaten path itineraries around the country. The various tours give you an opportunity to see more of Japan than the fascinating metropolitan cities. You get out into the countryside and explore historic cities, little known towns all while learning. You’ll find things first-hand about Japan you may know from movies, stories and bits of international history we were taught in school are fascinating to see. You'll have a chance to explore historic cities that helped create the pathways, byways and large cities. Those small towns are alive - very well alive and thriving, sharing their history. Oku Japan gets you deep into the culture, history and wonder of a fascinating country. On my visit, I was part of an itinerary called Shoguns and samurai. This itinerary took me to central Japan where tall mountain ranges, rivers, valleys and remote villages have remained very well-preserved for centuries. These cities were part of the shogunate period of Japan and were the highlight of our tour. It was a history lesson in Japan’s shogun period when Tokyo was known as Edo and ruled by the shogun. I also visited Kyoto, Japan’s capital for many years and also where you’ll find much of the country’s cultural heritage. For me it was more than my usual statement of saying I learned more about the things I thought I already knew, traveling with Oku Japan and hearing the stories of cities, roads, bridges and pathways that were part of the shogun period, I learned things I never knew. Come along and listen to part one of my time in Japan with Oku Japan - Adventures off the beaten track leads the way in history, culture and "off the beaten path" adventures. The photos below capture some of the highlights. \ \ \

  • Antarctica with Holland America

    Antarctica with Holland America
    Jul 16 2024
    Antarctica with Holland America Part Two Oh the people you meet when traveling A conversation with Captain Kevin Beirnaert Going to Antarctica on Holland America is the best way to set sail for the snowy-white continent. Heading to Antarctica you'll take Holland American's Oosterdam ship and it is one of my favorite ships in their fleet. I've sailed on this ship two times and each time with Captain Kevin. He was born in Gent in Northwest Belgium, and moved to Antwerp to attend the Maritime Academy. He shared that he has been around ships all of his life and was inspired by his father who also sails the deep blue sea. In 2004, he was employed with the world’s largest dredging company, “Jan de Nul,” and worked on the dredger Alexander von Humboldt in Dubai to build a new city, now world famously named Palm Island. Captain Beirnaert joined Holland America Line in 2006 and rotated on several ships, including Rotterdam as third officer, Rotterdam VI through 2011, as first officer and was promoted to chief officer / staff captain in 2012, after having sailed on Nieuw Amsterdam, Noordam, and Veendam. On Eurodam for three years, he met his now-wife, Amber, who was vacationing with friends but had also been a cast member with the 2010 Holland America Line Revue shows, performing on Zuiderdam and Prinsendam. Captain Beirnaert’s experience on Eurodam propelled him to the supervisory team of the company’s first Pinnacle Class ship, Koningsdam, then the second in the class, Nieuw Statendam V, and finally as staff captain to oversee the building of the third ship, Ryndam IV. It's time to plan your trip to Antarctica. Visit their website - www.hollandamerica.com Take a listen to part one of this series where I talk with other amazing crew members.
