So I'm hopping a freighter to China...
Well, actually Vietnam. But I'll make a stop in China.
It just seemed like the thing to do. I'm in Oakland now waiting as they load cargo. I'm the only passenger on a 1,000 foot ship for the next 19 days. Here's my ship: http://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/...:CMA_CGM_RHONE. I got whisked aboard before I could take an exterior photo. Since I'm the only passenger, I get the owner's cabin on the top deck. Here are a few pictures of my cabin area. I also have the use of a lounge on another floor, and I can share the crew's gym. So if anybody needs me, I won't be around for the next few weeks as I sail my private 1,000 foot yacht across the Pacific. |

Can you think of a new Von Miller joke while you're on this trip?

You could have outfitted a trailer Raymond Reddington style, filled with all the creature comforts, to steal off to when the view getting dreary.
Have them load it somewhere accessible.

I'm having trouble coming up with new ones after all these years. I'm concentrating my efforts on Bolles more these days.

Oh, that would be cool. As long as it wasn't 20 feet up in a stack. It would get old rappelling up and down all the time.

I have seen that. I was tempted to try something of my own like that, but I don't have the photographic skill. It's gorgeous.
I'm looking forward to seeing the night sky out in the middle of the ocean.

I think this would be a great idea if you were writing a book on deadline. So long as the weather was ok you'd have nothing else to do but write. And spending money on forced writing sessions probably helps too.
And the ride is just $3200? |

I have one request, post some pictures of the night sky when you're out in the middle of nowhere. Viewing the stars should be great.

I have a friend that just took a freighter from Chile to Mexico on the way back to the US. He did it for much the same reason you are, just something he's always wanted to do. He said no TV or internet, ate with the officers, but they did have beer on board. His crew was mostly Poles. He said it was interesting, but something he'd think twice about doing again.

You really truly should hit up Dave Lane, see if he has some astronomy equipment that will travel well.
