Our Princess In Darwin

One Week To Go

Goodness me.  The time is now going pretty darn quick.   I have started to pack, suitcases feel bloody heavy. Might have to sort a few of the clothes out to a smaller wardrobe.   The paperwork is now all complete, excursions booked and looking forward to a nice flight early hours of Wednesday morning
We get into Sydney around 6.30 and Princess pick us up and take us to the wharf.  We should have an easy time getting the paperwork done shipside, as we know what to do now.  Hopefully we will be on board pretty early, settle in to our cabin and unpack and have some lunch.
Yes we are excited!!!!!.    Cheers now to all those we leave behind.

ALZEIMERS

Just remembered to tell you that I may not get into this while away, but we do have a few days at sea when I can do catchups, then of course I have to be able to get my internet connection...I will try

COUNT DOWN

WOW    I knew the time would be going quickly about a month ago, Well, It is only two weeks and we will be flying off to Sydney to catch this big ship.   There have been some hiccups along the way with the state of the world as it is-hopefully they will be nice as we pass them by.
Really excited about what we are about to see, some I have seen on a previous trip, but things change and it will be lovely to see Rome again.     I don't think Bob realizes the extent of all this, but he has been working really really hard the past 3 months in particular, so he needs the break.  3 1/2 months will be quite a journey.
We have excursions in each port, except India's two. They wanted us to get a Visa at great cost and we weighed it up and said No.  We have kept the excursions as booked, maybe the cruise line will arrange something like a group visa-can't imagine how many people would feel as we do.
Harry is glad that the wait is almost over, with a small trip to Perth now. By the time he gets back it will be TIME.   Raelene and I are busy now starting to pack to see what we may get in just a suitcase each , will really have to be conservative with shoes. At least we will not have to worry about the cool weather clothes as it will be Summer all the way, except maybe Bergen,Norway.
I will sign out now.  We will be thinking of you......
