    Glad to see this up and running.So how was the first week? We all are thinking about you, and we are feeling a little foreign ourselves, selfishly wanting to hear your voice or be able to see you:)(haha).Once we can read your blog and hear of your different "Port" stories rest assure we will feel better and relax about you at sea:)
    So impressed by the whole set-up!Look forward to hearing how the first few days have been:) Soak it all in Syd ,this a trip of a lifetime!!

  5. Sally K. Jan.27th(Friday).Wow just got back to see your updates.its seems in the short time you have been gone you are settling right in.Sorry to hear about the seasickness but maybe you are getting used to that.I was exhausted after reading you day of hiking to the waterfall.It sounded quite a hike but well worth it.I am amazed that you are so brave to get in that cold water.Glad you took lots of creme rinse as it sounds like you are washing your hair alot after all the grubby trekking during your days.Not worried about the pillsbury Dough girl either as it sounds like you are being so active.thanks for letting us all live vicariously thru you and your blog.Enjoy sweetie and we miss you !Safe travels to your next destination,and glad you are traveling with nice young people,whats the ratio of girls/boys???hahaha sek
