MMDown Under

A representative from the Travel Club meets their cruisers before and after every cruise to make sure everything goes smoothly. When the Princess Majestic was late coming into port, he had to rework all the arrangements - change buses, change the guides, store the luggage etc. The 740 passengers in Sydney were fortunate to be well looked after during the delay.

Hope you are enjoying your new residence at Moruya. Does Moruya have local flooding? How does the weather compare with Batemans Bay, with all the rain?

Your friends are lucky they decided to take the train like you were. Pity you weren't able to join them.

92 flights delayed in and out of Sydney. An example of reason not to fly into port on day of cruise departure.

Not a good time for veggie gardening either! Too much rain!

Warnings are currently being made about a major rain event which is unfolding across Eastern Australia. I hope everyone is safe from torrential rain and local flooding. Not a good time for camping and cruising.

Is anyone cruising from Sydney to Seattle on Princess Majestic for 32 days from 10th April? 740 members of an American Travel Club will be joining this cruise after spending several days in Sydney. Bon Voyage to all on this interesting cruise via the South Pacific.

I love most pasties. However, my daughter brought me a crimped edge Cornish pastie yesterday, which had swede in it. Yum the best, like Cornwall. She also brought a handmade musk lolly Easter Egg. Both are not easy to find.

The flowers are beautiful, Lyle. Hard to believe they are made of wood.

That is a beautiful box, Lyle. Did you make the flowers?

Thanks. I was about to ask you what foil sailing was. Then I realised I often watch these on the Broadwater at the Gold Coast.

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope your Covid is mild and you make a quick recovery.

Sincere condolences at the passing of Lynn's mother. May you be comforted at this sad time, by memories of happy times spent together. It is a relief that Lynn's mother didn't pass during your big trip Down Under.

I thought you could only make one initial reservation per restaurant and show prior to departure.

We flew Qantas/Latam ticket to BA via Santiago. Arriving in Santiago on a Latam flight we were able to use the Business Class Lounge. On the return flight, we departed Santiago on Qantas after a five hour stopover. We had difficulty using the Business Class Lounge because we would be flying Qantas. I eventually talked my way in because they weren't busy being Christmas Day.
