SantaFe1 Posted December 23, 2018 #8 Share Posted December 23, 2018 So glad we will be documenting our trip this year. Loved Jim’s thread last year, as we were preparing for this WC. We leave Miami January 3, traverse the Southern Hemisphere, going around both capes, and ending in London May 11. I’d love to learn how to attach pictures here. There will be lots of animals on this trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to posting pictures, I never got the hang of it other than thumbnails. Our World Cruise photographer was EACHES. Maybe he will hold class here on how to post beautiful pictures.

Now SantaFe1 you will be on board posting here, not from your armchair at home. So happy for you and all WC's that you all took the plunge and are doing a world cruise.

wheredowegonext Posted December 27, 2018 #24 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Hello fellow segment #2 travelers! I am doing the Viking-sponsored four night excursion to Iguazu Falls. My flight Boston-JFK-Rio arrives January 21 at about 10:35am. Is there anyone else on this forum who is also on this pre-cruise extension?

RockyWeim Posted December 27, 2018 #25 Share Posted December 27, 2018 We’re only on Segment 4, joining the ship in Sydney. But we have done the Falls in early February back in 2017. Plan on it being very hot and humid. It was almost unbearable, and that’s saying a lot from Native Floridians. After the hour long walk out to the falls and back, we were both dripping wet, and it wasn’t from the river water. We were only there for the day, so thankfully we had the foresight to pack a complete change of clothes, and were able to change at the Sheraton where we had dinner before our flight back to Buenos Aires, otherwise we would have been miserable for the last half of our tour. We were wearing Columbia Tropical wear, but that did not help beat the heat. The falls are a must see, so do go out and experience both the top and bottom of the falls. We we had done Angle Falls, Niagara Falls and that trip was for Iguazu. On this coming trip, when we disembark in Durban, we plan to complete our treks to the Falls with Victoria Falls. Hope to see you when we join the ship in Sydney. Mike & Betsy Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
