Philip's big trip 2011: Another cruise booked!
http://philipsbigtrip.blogspot.com/2011/09/another-cruise-booked.html
Philip's big trip 2011. Saturday, September 24, 2011. I said I was taking a break from the long cruises, which is true. But our sons were very keen to do a repeat of last year's family cruise. So we're doing 10 days on the Pacific Pearl out of Auckland, to Tonga and Fiji. And that takes care of who's going to organise Christmas Dinner! So now Christmas Day for us will be spent lazing away on Dravuni Island, Fiji, followed by Christmas Dinner on board the ship. Wonderful! April 24, 2013 at 1:42 AM.

Philip's big trip 2011: Gotta love those sea days...
http://philipsbigtrip.blogspot.com/2011/08/gotta-love-those-sea-days.html
Philip's big trip 2011. Wednesday, August 24, 2011. Gotta love those sea days. Quote of the Day: “Everyone’s cutting down on the food and drink as we get closer to home. Philip is still having his scones though, but without the whipped cream.” Hmmm – first time I’ve heard myself mentioned in a Quote of the Day. Thanks Randy! So what do you do on the quiet middle day of 5 sea days? It could well help my vertigo…. Over twice what I’d pay for any of their services back home. So I guess I won’...Tonight...

Philip's big trip 2011: L.A. - same old chaos...
http://philipsbigtrip.blogspot.com/2011/08/la-same-old-chaos.html
Philip's big trip 2011. Wednesday, August 17, 2011. LA - same old chaos. Quote of the Day: “I spoke to this lady from the cruise in Long Beach today. She’s been on the ship since Sydney, and this is the first time she’s been ashore. She said everywhere else was either too hot, too cold, or too wet.”. Going through US Immigration in LA is the pits! So it wasn’t long before they were running over an hour late. The Villa houses over 1200 pieces from the Getty collection, featuring Greek, Etruscan and Roman ...

A new cruise every time. Wednesday, June 29, 2011. Day 34 Port Said. This is the one we went inside :). Building burnt during "facebook" revolution in Jan. Gosh, up at 5.15am today and it is now 10.55pm, so yes I am rather tired. With another early day tomorrow though think we'll make it 6am start. What can you say about Cairo and the Pyramids, if you've seen them. You'll know how amazing they are and if you haven't.do it!

http://helenshalfworldcruise2011.blogspot.com/2014/06/booked-another-two.html
A new cruise every time. Sunday, June 29, 2014. Still not final payment time for my Singapore trip, that's in about 6 weeks.but in the meantime I have booked another 2 cruises! They are actually back-to-back (B2B). When I heard that Princess was bringing another ship to Australia next year and one I've never been on The Golden , I thought here is my chance to bring the new ship home to Oz for her season here. Hope I don't get too addicted to these mini suites and window suites! WHY AM I BLOGGING? In fact...

World Explorers 2011: September 2011
http://worldexplorers2011.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Follow us around the world on our 'journey of a lifetime' - 42 ports in 104 days! Friday, 9 September 2011. And the bubble bursts. We had planned to be up on deck for our sail into Brisbane but when we woke up early, we were already docked at the Portside terminal in Brisbane. During the night, it had felt like we were hardly moving and looking at the map this morning on the TV it looks like we have just been filling in time before docking – coming the long way in. He pushed the trolley of luggage as we ...

World Explorers 2011: Auckland with Happy Feet

Follow us around the world on our 'journey of a lifetime' - 42 ports in 104 days! Sunday, 4 September 2011. Auckland with Happy Feet. Our visit to Auckland was very bittersweet because more than 500 kiwis left the ship including many that we have become very close to - including Anthea, Dennis, Ray, and Paula - our wonderful table companions. Loved this animation screen from mickey mouse to Tiki Tu Meke. Great perspective on the position of Antarctica. Scott's hut and research centre. The other parts of ...

Follow us around the world on our 'journey of a lifetime' - 42 ports in 104 days! Wednesday, 29 June 2011. Jerusalem - the Holy City. Entering the Jaffa gate. Walking down the narrow laneways of the Christian quarter. Most of the captions on the shirts are military based jokes. The place names are so familiar from the bible stories - Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Jericho, Nazareth, Gallilee etc. Walking down to the men's section of the Western Wall. From the Jewish quarter, we walked through the Moslem section, ...

Follow us around the world on our 'journey of a lifetime' - 42 ports in 104 days! Saturday, 30 July 2011. How could you ever be blue in Bermuda? Today we joined a taxi tour arranged by Joanne to visit the highlights of Bermuda - and although we didn’t arrive until 12 midday - originally scheduled for 10.00am - our guide/driver Robbie was waiting patiently as soon as we disembarked. KILOMETRES per hour - not MILES! Ros and Arnold World Explorers. Friday, 29 July 2011. We have a very relaxed daily schedule...
