Thanks So Much for our South Pacific Vacation!

We had wonderful time on our trip!!  Thank you so much for putting it together for us.  Neal & I thought you must have put in lots of time and energy to get us such a special trip.

We missed a couple of stops on our cruise.  There was a major storm so the Captain had to turn around and head back up the New Zealand coast to where the two island are and cut through there to get over to Australia.  It was quite exciting - the Captain told us the winds were 100 miles an hour.  He also said that for a while he cut the engine and the wind was pushing us backwards.  We stopped at Port Chalmers & then had 3 days at sea  - I’m not sure which places we missed - I think one had  a fiord in its name. I think we missed 2 stops during that time but we didn’t care.  The crew made lots of activites for everyone to do and we all had a good time.  We enjoyed all the different Trivia games, Neal & Merrit & Sue played Bingo a couple times everyday  - Sue even won once.

The condo in Sydney was spectacular!   We particularly enjoyed the views of the harbor.  Each morning we looked forward to seeing what new crusie ships had arrived overnight.

Everything was so handy  -  short walk to the harbor, the rocks and shopping.  What more can a tourist hope for!!

Even though it started off hectic - with the storm in Seattle - it didn’t take us long to love every minute of our trip.   We especially liked the Blue Mountain Tour we took.  Actually we liked all the tours and places we went while in New Zealand & Australia.

Thanks again for all the time and effort you put in to make our trip so special!
Dolores & Neal
