Remember, did you move your clock forward by one hour?  We are now into daylight savings time, and New York is 6 hours ahead of Hawaii.  3 hours for the West Coast.  The time difference between Tokyo and Honolulu is always 5 hours because we remain at standard time. One more point of remembrance.  Wednesday, March 17, is St. Patrick's Day .  There was an actual character named Patrick, who was born British around 460 AD.  However, all you've heard about him is probably false , such as chasing snakes out of Ireland.  He was never canonized. March 17 is a public holiday in Ireland.  However, we do more celebrating in the USA.  In Ireland, they have Dublin Coddle ( right ), a layered dish consisting of bacon, pork sausage and potatoes.  Or Irish Stew, which consists of lamb, potatoes, onions, leeks and carrots.  Here are 18 more Irish dishes . If you subscribe to Music Choice, they are already featuring Irish songs.  If you go to Dublin, the most memorable song is Molly Malone ,

I was reading the March issue of Travel Leisure , and saw two items of interest:  a different sort of tour through the island of Oahu and an announcement of Oceania Insignia's 218-day circumnavigation, hitting 44 countries and territories in 109 port stops.  You have time to save some money for this trip, as it leaves Miami on 28 December 2022, starting at $55,400/person.  At $254/day, a good price for that ship. So that inspired me to dream about an absolutely fantastic back to back global adventure.  We're presently pondering over a possible Fall 2021 journey that includes a 16-day Celebrity cruise from Tokyo to Singapore, using the Star Alliance Around the World ticket for the rest of the way.  The primary reason is to participate in the Dubai World Expo, scheduled to run from 1 October 2021 to the end of March 2022.  The more sensible and safer option is to take the Island Princess from Los Angeles to Dubai on a 52-day cruise on 19 January 2022, then select ideal stops goin
