Captain the Cruising Kitty My name is Captain and my mom is a world traveler.

I was cramping her gypsy style so she bought a cabin aboard Villa Vie Residences Odyssey, a residential cruise ship and can take me along to see the world!

Captain: You do know where we are don't you?
Mom: of course I do. We're in Thailand.
Captain: Ahem...
Where?
I prefer to call it Siam.
You know, like SIAM-ese.
Mom: Your homeland! Until 1939 Thailand was indeed Siam.
Captain: And did you know that my breed was exclusive to the royal family?
Did you know that royals believed that a Siamese cat would receive a deceased King's soul getting it safely to the afterlife?
Mom: Don't get any ideas about running off and going to live in the palace!
Captain: What if I took you with me Mom? 💗

Guess who has a birthday today?
ME!!!
I'm 10 years old! 🎂🎉🥳🍾🥂
I remember when Mom was bringing me home from the place I was born. She looked at me and said, "What am I thinking? I'm not going to be able to travel anymore!".
I couldn't talk then because I was just a baby, but she must have known by the look in my eyes that I'd be happy to be a traveling cat.
So here we are! Ten years of lots of travel in Florida and Wisconsin and aboard Virtue, and another 87,800 nautical miles since leaving Belfast!
We love our life aboard Villa Vie Residences Odyssey!

And this pic PROVES that I'm hard at work making posts! My mom is way behind on helping, so I think I need to fire her! 😻

My mom remembers the Fourth of July when she was a little girl...🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Her Mommy would work for weeks making floats and costumes. Doll buggy category for my mom, coaster wagon for Uncle Deano. She was very creative and an expert seamstress, so her creations were imaginative works of art and usually garnered prizes.
I remember our many Fourth of July celebrations in Milwaukee. The Lakefront Big Bang Fireworks were right outside our windows and I didn't like that at all! Mom usually had people come over for a party so I'd be busy playing host, but at the first POW!! I'd run and hide!
Here onboard Odyssey the residents put on a nice program. Mom read a piece about America the Beautiful. The bartenders made red, white and blue drinks, and the restaurant had a big flag cake. No fireworks here, thank God!
Have a happy and safe Fourth wherever you are! 🇺🇸⚓🇺🇸⚓🇺🇸⚓🇺🇸⚓🇺🇸⚓🇺🇸⚓🇺🇸⚓🇺🇸⚓🇺🇸⚓

Captain: Hey Mom... Which do you like better, big cities or little places?
Mom: I like them both! Best thing about living aboard Villa Vie Residences Odyssey is that we get both.
Captain: And nature!
Mom: You're right. The Philippines have it all, and I've loved all the time we've been able to spend here. People are so friendly and the vast majority speak English, so it's very welcoming to an American.
Guess how many islands the Philippines have?
Captain: I can only count up to how many claws I have. Is it more than that?
Mom: Just a few more. 7,641!
Captain: Wow! We didn't go to all, but here are the pics from where we did go. Enjoy!

Captain: Hey mom--what's spiritual?
Mom: It's hard to describe. It's something that makes you feel good inside. Why do you ask?
Captain: You told me you were staying overnight at a Temple and were doing two spiritual days. I was worried you were going to turn into a ghost! So I googled and this is what I found:

Hindus regard spirituality as the deeply personal and practical journey of realizing once true divine nature and experiencing ultimate union with the supreme reality.
For Buddhists spirituality is the practical, experiential cultivation of wisdom, compassion, and mindfulness to understand the true nature of reality ultimately aimed at ending suffering.

That made it seem like it had nothing to do with ghosts so I could relax while you were gone!

Mom: I went with friends to two different massive temple complexes in central Java. We visited Prambanan first, a Hindu temple. Then we stayed overnight at the base of Borobudar, a Buddhist complex and we climbed to the top in the dark so we could see the sunrise. These temples are very, very old. They were built in the 8th and 9th century. The detail is exquisite.
One cannot help but feel that ultimate union and mindfulness surrounded by something so awe inspiring.

Enjoy the pics, but know that they don't do justice!

Captain: Hey Mom! Where are you off to today?
Mom: I thought I'd have breakfast with an orangutan.
Captain: Like a REAL orangutan?!
Just make sure they don't eat you for breakfast!
Mom: I don't think I'd taste very good to them since they eat mostly fruit.
Captain: You've been doing so much cool stuff here in Bali, mom! Temples and more temples,
Massages and more massages (roughly $9 USD for amazing massages!), shopping and more shopping (sarongs or dresses for 4 for 100,000 Indonesian Rupiah which is less than $6 USD!) Elephants and Orangutans and Luwaks, oh my!
Mom: Odyssey has us in Bali twice, for a total of eight amazing days! Life simply doesn't get better than this!
