Not water, but back to the Polar bears.

10/30 Mariner - Barcelona to Venice.

CANADA here we come too!

Kristin our flight is around 12:30 I think or 1 maybe so probably not enough time. I'll let you know if we can work something once I start organizing for CANADA. You know we would LOVE to see you and Greg.

Sounds good, JoAnn!

We will be on CANADA, but sorry to hear we will not have Kristin and Greg aboard - - why not sign up for Canada too ??

Rod

We wish, Rod! It was too late (everything looked to be booked up) and also too expensive. It was great meeting you and Cynthia at HODOWN and we really hope to see you again soon!

Doing The Oct 10 Med cruise on Mariner. the price was right and the couple we are going with wanted this part of the world. The weather should be perfect.

Jerel and I will be traveling with Tauck to Australia. Right now I leave on the 12th and he leaves on the 13th (award flights - hopefully I can convince Qantas to put us to together at some point), spending 3 days pre-tour in Melbourne.

Our tour begins on the 17th, and we have 2 days in Melbourne, 2 days at Uluru, 3 days in Port Douglas at the Great Barrier Reef and finally 4 days in Sydney before we head home on the 28th.

Oh, Andrea, your tour sounds wonderful. I would return to Australia any time I can after DINGO last year. Hope you have a great time. Three days in Port Douglas sounds fabulous. How many reef trips do you take?

Beth, I was just rereading all the DINGO posts yesterday! I'm trying to plan out our drive down the Great Ocean Road. We have one full day on the reef, but I'm hoping I can squeeze in at least one extra visit depending on what time we arrive in Port Douglas. We're going to Kuranda too.

The day driving the Great Ocean Road was possibly my favorite day on DINGO. Even though it was a very long day we saw so much and it was so beautiful. Beth arranged a fantastic guide. I would love to do the drive again, this time taking a few days and exploring the sights along the way in more depth.

Sounds fabulous, Andrea!

Andrea, I do hope you hire someone to drive you. You will be able to enjoy the sights so much better. The guides know where to take you for fun animal encounters!! Enjoy Kuranda. The train ride and cable car were fun ways to get into Kuranda..... the town, not so much. It was the journey that I most enjoyed. Snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef was amazing. Get ready for a fabulous adventure!

Lauri, I agree, TGO was a magnificent day and my favorite tour on the whole trip. Would definitely like to go back for a few days to explore and take time to enjoy the area.

Miss Lynn and I made final payment Fri for our 21 Oct-14 Nov cruise aboard Silver Spirit from LIS-FLL thru Barbados.

Doug: I shall see you there, at least until Nov 5th!

O CANADA

O Canada! Our home and native land
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise
The true north, strong and free
From far and wide, O Canada
We stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free
O Canada! We stand on guard for thee
O Canada! We stand on guard for thee.

O Canada! Terre de nos aieux
Ton front est ceint de fleurons glorieux!
Car ton bras sait porter l'épée
Il sait porter la croix!
Ton histoire est une épopée
Des plus brilliants exploix.
Et ta valeur, de foi trempée
Protégera nos foyers et nos droits
Protégera nos foyers et nos droits.

See all of you in Montreal.
John & Christina

Doc dancing already here in Orlando. :banana: Received them by FedEx priority, 4 weeks prior to the cruise. Pretty expeditious compared to prior cruises. I love the new docs format, they look great! Only info missing is Prime 7 reservation, but I'm sure the res'y is intact.

I am SO looking forward to just driving to the cruise port and back. I can actually pack my *full-size* perfume, hairspray, hair gel, etc. in my carryon. Life's simple pleasures...

oops, dupe!

You go girl Kristin. Dancing with you and wish you were on CANADA instead. Its all about those bars.
