Sooo. Where is it?? Not in the Pacific Ocean I hope :)

Still in Santiago, fitting a new rubber band to the engines, LOL. Can't trust those South Americans. Probably less than half full, so they did not bother flying it out, it happens.

 

QF321/LA800, you had better be here Tuesday morning !

Les, have you booked Patrick Watts tour to Volunteer Pt to see the King Penguins? That was a highlight of our SA trip. The scenery enroute was amazing, bumpy but worth the trip.

No Liz, not into penguins, doing ye olde battlefields tour as a Princess shorex. Hope we are able to tender in to Stanley, many ships don't get in because of sea state.

Will be an Airbus A340, the only Airbus built with four donks.

Have a safe trip!:)

Edit: I meant it was the only four engine one until the 380 came along.

Thanks, yes A340-300, have travelled on LAN A340's a couple of times, LAX to Lima. LAN are generally ok. I have found out their one and only Boeing Dreamliner 787 is grounded and they are short of aircraft, hence the cancellation of several Friday flights, Syd - SCL.

Yeah the 787 Dream/nightmare liners have been grounded on and off since their first flights. Last year they were all grounded for around 4 months.

Far better in the A340.:)

Hi Les,

 

Fingers and toes and everything else crossed for you! Travel safe and keep well!

 

We were supposed to be on the 49 nighter on Crown, around South America but had to cancel due to illness in family. From memory, she sails today - oh well, lots of other cruises to do later on, but I only have one brother and we are glad to be supporting him during his Big C illness!

 

Have a wonderful time, and I can't wait to hear all about it when you return.

Thanks, sorry to hear about your cancelled cruise on Crown. Hope we will not have flight issues with LAN on Tuesday, they cancelled QF321/LA800 on Friday, same flight we are on Tuesday. One of our cruisers on the roll call has 80 hour trip now to BA following flight cancellation Friday.

Wishing you great cruises Les. We did Rio to San Fran 2 years ago on the Star P on a B2B repositioning cruise like yours in late Feb. Had good weather around the Horn but missed Ushuaia as the Argies were upset we had stopped at Stanley and wouldn't let us and a P & O ship dock. We had a great day exploring the Chilean fiords in lieu though.

The discovery of vast oil reserves off the Falklands had stirred up their territorial dispute. They were protesting in Buenos Aires when we were there.

Bon voyage !!

Barry :)

Have a great cruise Les

 

We did the Grand Princess Fort Lauderdale to San Fran in 2013. Cant believe its been 12 mths since that cruise, which was the best cruise we have ever done.

 

We missed the Faulklands- due to weather, but for the rest of the cruise, the seas were calm, even going around the Horn.

 

Cheers

 

Tanya

Enjoy your cruises Les. What are you planning on doing in Peru?

Thank you, we have been to Peru a couple of times before, 2002 and 2007, but first time we have cruised in there. done Cusco/Maccu Picchu and most of Lima, inc Gold Museum. Ship is in Callao (Port of Lima) 2 days, we are doing City tour/Indian Markets/Miraflores plus meet up with my son's Peruvian in laws and sister in laws for lunch at their house in Montericco, Lima.

Sounds great. I know somebody who recently did an overnight shore excursion to Maccu Picchu, and it was so expensive. One place that I want to visit one day.
