Ship Trip for 6 weeks

You will not see me in the Library from June 12 to July 16 because I will be on the container ship, H.Buss. Please click on link to see where I am going.
H. Buss to the West Coast of South America
I am leaving from Port Everglades about June 14th. The ship is a working ship which will be in each port 18-24 hours to load and unload the containers; I may or may not be able to disembark in any of those countries.
I began planning August 2007 for a January 2008 departure which sold out long before I came along. After nearly a year in the planning, list making beyond belief, shopping, seeking advice from people and travel books, getting medical clearance and a yellow fever shot, I have 3 suitcases packed.
You know where I am going, but I am often asked, Why? and, Won't you be bored? and, Aren't you afraid for your personal safety?" let me tell you, dear reader, why.
A life-long personal goal is to see the open, endless sea, to approach the land by boat, to see stars without city light pollution; also to experience in life what I have read about in dozens of books, seen on TV and movies, a discovery voyage with wild animals and birds, the mechanics of a large, working ship and sail the Panama Canal (twice). 35 days of doing what I want even if that means doing nothing but gazing at the horizon.
