Aloha-All
Yes, just returned from our P&O/Princess cruise.
Must admit it's "NOT RSSC" , but we did have a great time. Food was good,quantities small and the nichel and diming; well you paid extra for everything. Even the trip into Brisbane (20min. $10.00 r/t)not much but on RSSC it would be included .The ship "Pacific Princess" was a former Renaissance (650 passengers). We found the people and the country itself to be very friendly and helpful. The cities were very CLEAN! We have a long way to go to equal Australia in terms of a tourist friendly country! But and there is always a "But" don't go during the "Christmas holiday season" when most things are Closed. Shopping was not a big thing for us but eating was!True we could eat at our hotel at $60-70 p/p in Sydney but we were not up to a big dinner each nite and were in search of some Bistro food but they are all closed during this period, not all but most.
Masaki & Amanda, That was a great evening. Did you pay the bill or did we? Oh well it doesn't matter, we had such a good time. Amanda you're looking great ! Yes I think we all look great in the picture. Our picture is after a snorkel dive on the "Great Barrier Reef". Great fun.
If you guys will be the sponsor of a LCT meeting in Hawaii, we will volunteer to be the co-sponsors. What fun we would have and places we could take our LCT friends to! All "Local" places!
Our best to all in the New Year! Mahalo, John & Christina <img border="0" alt="[hula]" title="" src="graemlins/hula.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[hula]" title="" src="graemlins/hula.gif" />
