It has snowed in China, Japan, and South Korea, but the weather is still very hot in Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, and Indonesia. They are all in Asia, but they are completely different worlds.

I love the collab with my other fave solo cruiser Mer. I went on the Spirit wayyyyy back in 2006. We got into some unique ports back then too, and it looks like she continues to go to ports that a lot of the bigger ships can’t get to. Certainly makes me wanna take a second look at future cruises on Spirit. And I believe Windows used to be called Ventanas. Interesting that they changed the name.
