Here's a nautical mileage cruise I'm thinking of taking in the future. I've been to most of these ports before, and it would be nice to visit the new ports soon with RQS as a travel partner.

Now that RQS and I have made a successful trip to Washington, DC, we have started thinking of taking another trip together. A quick run to New England and Canada's Maritime Provinces is something that came to both our minds. Unlike my last run into Boston with FCP, who insisted that I keep her son and future daughter in law occupied, RQS likes the idea of going to see "Old Ironsides," and have some clam chowder at Boston's Union Oyster House while in town.
I've never been to Sydney or Charlottetown, so these ports will be new experiences for the two of us. As for Halifax and St. John, we can always find an interesting excursion to go on in these cities. But in Portland and Boston, there are things we can do without the help of the cruise line's excursions. So, we have a lot more options than which are presented to us by the cruise line - but we have to be willing to make sure to get back to the ship on time if we exercise those options.

Since 2022 looks like it is already going to be a busy year, I've already started to look at cruises for 2023 and 2024. Right now, the cruise at the top of my list is a Panama Canal cruise through the Historic Locks which starts in Los Angeles and ends in Fort Lauderdale. If we do this cruise (or I do it alone), it will be a great opportunity to get there a day (or two) early and see both my aunt and uncle. They are in their upper 80's, and I want to see them while they are able to get around on their own.
