Bill and Dena, yes we're on the same cruise! We'll have to arrange a meeting. Dena, we met already at the luncheon in OC.
We've already booked our excursions online, so you can too.
As for the flights, well...after all the mess I went through to change our cruise, we're still having to fly to New Zealand first, stay a few days there and THEN to Papeete. At least our flight home won't be so bad. Although we weren't even supposed to HAVE a flight home, as the cruise we were originally booked on did an 8-day transpacific and ended in LA.
Oh, and happy birthday!
