Where we will travel

If anyone has been to any of the ports we will be visiting and have any thoughts on what we should do (or not do) please let us know. In some ports we're taking Holland America tours, in others tours with local companies and in some we'll wander on our own.

Here's the itinerary. Hopefully there will be no "incidents" which will prevent us from visiting.
