We got our lovely silver box today for our SATIN cruise (Seeing Australian Tennis Including Newzealand) starting 1/3/10 on the Silver Whisper, leaving Auckland and ending in Sydney just in time for the Aussie Open. We'll spend 4 days after the cruise back in Melbourne with the fellow tennis junkies. We'll finally be on the front end of the celebrations, as we're spending New Year's in Auckland with the lovely and talented June and Brian.

I've called to see about shipping a bag ahead. So far .. no return call. Hope to get this squared away sometime today, if it's not prohibitively expensive.

Cheers, Anne
