It was quite out of the blue really. We had some 241 cruise certificates to use or loose and there were some cruises in Japan!! We duly booked THEN I realised the first one was only four weeks away!! Panic over now - we picked up out flight tickets etc. on Friday. Interesting I'm sure - Japan - a totally different culture but not third world. I'm expecting a very sake and colourful trip. So - up to Auckland on the 18th June to see Hoppy's sister who is not at all well. She has been diagnosed with Parkinsons. Then over to Milford to see the fam. up there and leave them our car. Becci will drop us off at the airport hotel - no not the Novatel but Ibis - very basic I believe but anywho.....For a brief sleep (?) before catching the Air NZ flight direct to Japan. We are on the Diamond Princess - so used to thinking it is a Oz/Kiwi shipping line so will be interesting to see the "culture" when we are expecting mostly passengers from the USA and Japan. Our itinerary will eventually appear on the side of this blog but I still haven't mastered the art of putting photos on so , if you're on Facebook you may see some there - they're easy to put on there I must say. Must be...I can do it! Keep cosy. I've been finding it hard to get warm lately. OK Lynda I wont complain again - I didn't do what you told me to and have a bath!!! But you'd think 2 pairs of socks, long johns and three layers of merinos would be enough!!!
Perhaps we should be more active but then wet afternoons are perfect for Rumikub!! Well off to
let everyone know the latest. See you again soon. Love to you all.
