On Our Way To Sydney




Today we are sailing over beautiful, deep blue waters. There is a tiny bit of swell in the sea so we are experiencing some rocking and rolling. The balcony is really a pleasant place to be.

The other night we had dinner with folks from our Trivia Team. The Grand Dining Room was a bit chilly so Jim borrowed by shawl. We thought he looked a little like Mother Teresa . Note how the menu looks like a book. 


We played our final round of trivia this morning with our team for this cruise. We have enjoyed learning together. One of the questions today was to name the 12 parts of the body that have only 3 letters. We got 11 of the 12. Other questions today focused on some of the things that have happened during this cruise. We'll form a new team at the first opportunity on the next leg of this journey.

We are following alongside the HUGE Sapphire Princess. Yesterday in Brisbane we met some folks from that ship. The ship carries 2700 passengers so it makes us feel tiny....and we are very glad to be on board this size vessel. Don't think we'll ever choose to travel on one that large. We like these 700 passenger size ships.

Why don't you want to ride on that other boat that you were talking about? What is the "swell" that you are experiencing?
We really liked reading about the Koalas -- TWO SHOPPING BAGS OF LEAVES!? That's a lot. What is a wombat? Did you get a picture of one?
Thank you for sending us a picture of the submarine. It doesn't look very fancy but it does look like a cruise boat to me.
That sure was a beautiful sunset in the pictures.
Are you going to get to see the Opera House in Sydney? Mommy told me about it. We are looking at the pictures and maps on the schedule you sent us and following along your trip.
Mommy wants to know what body parts only have three letters -- she can only think of eye, ear, arm, leg and toe!
Good night. I love you. Don't let the bed bugs bite!
