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

Sure wish I coud join you on this one! I know you realise this, I just hope Silversea does - the Aussie Open is on in Melbourne, not Sydney! Have a fun time watching the tennis - I'm restricted to the Medibank International in Sydney this year but we do have all the Top 10 women's players with the exception of either Venus or Serena (can't remember which). Tennis is tennis!! Lee

Have a fantastic time Anne and Gary. Fun meeting you at HoDown and hopefully we will meet again on a cruise someday soon. Always love your seamail Anne, so will look forward to lots of good reports from you.

Happy Holidays.

WOW Anne!!!! What a great sounding cruise for you and Gary! PERFECT !!!!!!
Have a wonderful time!

Thanks for all the good wishes. It would be about the same cost to buy the buy an extra seat on the plane. Ahem .. we'll haul it around New Zealand for that price. I like to learn something new every day. NO question I learned about excess baggage private services today!!

Cheers, Anne

enjoy, with or without bags
