For this blog:

We are traveling the world pretty much full time now and how better to do that than a World Cruise from Los Angeles to Monaco.  After some deliberations we settled on the Crystal Serenity because of the many unusual islands it was visiting...islands that we would likely never be able to visit otherwise.

The itinerary hit the following ports of call:
  Honolulu, Hawaii
  Lahaina, Hawaii
  Fanning Island, Kiribati
  Pago Pago, American Samoa
  Lautoka, Fiji
  Bay of Islands and Auckland, New Zealand
  Sydney, Hobart, Kangaroo Island, Adelaide, Albany, Busselton & Perth, Australia
  Port Louis, Mauritius
  Reunion Island
  Taolanaro Madagascar
  Maputo, Mozambique
  Richards Bay, Durban, Port Elizabeth and Cape Town, South Africa 
  Luderitz and Walvis Bay, Namibia
  St. Helena
  Ascension Island
  Dakar, Senegal
  Porto Novo, Cape Verde
  Santa Cruz de la Palma, Canary Islands
  Malaga and Barcelona, Spain
  Monaco 


This calendar featured four inserts of additional photos:
  Beast and Birds and Things that Swim
  Crystal Serenity - Our Home for Three Months
  Gardens of the World
  It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood
