I flew from Phoenix, AZ to Miami, FL via Austin, TX. Nothing to comment on with the flight, it’s just after flying from Europe last week I’m a bit tired of airline seats and airports. An hour ride north and I arrived at the Four Seasons, where Silversea is parking us until we board the Silver Moon tomorrow afternoon.

Silversea hosted drinks and dinner for those doing the whole South America Grand Voyage – around 150 of the max 596 passengers are on for the whole trip. I hope to get a final “who is from where” roll out for you in a few days. I did meet about five from the 2019 world cruise. I’m not very surprised; it would be a small group that has the resources (read: money and time) to take such extended cruises. They are taking our luggage early in the morning, so this will need to tide you over.

Next time: On board!
