Up, Up and Away...

Saturday, March 7. 25 C.

Well, the sea part of our journey is over. I am writing this on the ship a couple of hours before we leave the ship and go to the airport. Time now is 10:50 am Australian time, 3:50 pm on March 6th west coast time.

The ship is very quiet, most new passengers are quite happy to be settling in and getting any bugs straightened out as hey sail away at 4:30 this afternoon to New Zealand, heading to San Diego.

Today is a bit of  stress for us, it always is when one leaves the protection of the ship, and that is going to happen when we walk down the gangway with too many bags and get into a cab  to the airport. When our bags are checked in, we then sort off come under the wing of Qantas Airlines until we stumble off the Airplane some 24 hours from this writing. [3:30 Saturday afternoon in Vancouver!]

A Very, Very Long Day!

Early in the morning in Sydney Harbour.

Around 1:00 this afternoon, escorted off the ship by our Attendant in The Neptune Lounge, Desiree.

The last of the four pieces of luggage that we hope to see in Vancouver.
