You would have plenty of time to paint and dream..I can just see you now wedge between 2 huge crates with your paper and inks and camera in hand getting a shadow shot..

I love ships! I think it would be such an adventure to go on one of these container ships. One of my friends has done it, left a couple of years ago and I haven't heard from her since. I'm sure she will return one day with amazing tales - that's her style. I think if I had the choice though, I would probably choose something a littly more luxurious :)

would be a wonderful adventure.. but can you imagine cleaning such a vessel??
I love the peacefulness of the photo! It would definitely be an adventure if you aboard the ship. Have a wonderful Wednesday!

I know someone who travelled from Europe to the States on one and said it was great fun and they ate really well. It wasn`t cheap but sure was an adventure. Go for it!
Okay, now you have got me hooked:) Something so calming about that photo.

A sea voyage... Oh, I love that idea! We took a weekend cruise trip to Denmark a few years back--it was great fun...loved being out in the middle of all that water. Good for creative inspiration too. Hope you get your container wish. ;o) I love the dreamy, shimmery quality of this photo, Juana ((HUGS))

Interesting!
I wouldn't be caught dead on a cruise ship, but this could be a good way to have the big boat experience!

from what some of you have said and from what I've read, as long as I know not to expect anything nice or romantic, I'll enjoy the adventure.

Poetic, you took the words right out of my mouth. I would have my projects for sure.
Sounds interesting...but I think I'd have to stick with a traditional cruise :)

And where would you go?? I know people have gone to Alaska on freighters that go along the coast but these are smaller affairs than these huge containers.

We used to see these containers off the shore when we lived in Victoria.

Japan, Mexico, you 2 are a pair of adventurers! Sounds like the next adventure is percolating

Zendot, I'm not sure where we'd go yet. I think I'd want to start out with a short trip to work out wrinkles in our plan.

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely! Korean Air allowed her to fly with me as my carry-on luggage, which was a relief for me. No worrying about whether she was scared or left at the Los Angeles airport! I didn't give her any tranquilizer to sedate her. Yet, she was quiet the entire flight and went unnoticed by other passengers. I h
