We had another fabulous day in Sydney.  We did sleep a little later today as we got home from the opera pretty late last night.  We headed out to the Apple store as we were told that they would upgrade us to the newest version.  Well it seems that they never set Bill's up right in Honolulu so we had to spend a few  extra minuts getting that set up.  We started to walk back to the ship and went the wrong way so we took a cab.  We had lunch n the ship and Bill headed back out to walk around again.  My feet were still swollen from last night so I figured I walked enough.  I realaxed and had our IPADS configured for the ship and sat in Bistro drinking tea and answering emails.  We had a mandatory lifeboat drill for everyone on board.  Then we went back to our cabin to get ready for this evening.

The Discovery channel is making  a movie on board about the ship After we set sail from Sydney they were above us in a helicopter filming.  Tonight was the meet and mingle from Cruise Critic.  Not too many people showed up it was at the same time as the show.  Rick Spath the Cruise director, David and Karen from entertainment, head housekeeper and a few other crew members were there.  We actually had more crew than guests but it was great.  We had asked Becky if she would like to join us at Prego this evening so right after the cocktail party the three us headed to Prego where we had great food and great converstaion.  Needless to say I had two martinis and we all know 1 is my limit so it was FUN.  Now it is after 11pm Wednesday February 8,th and I am heading to bed.

Tomorrow we will be at sea and it is a formal night.  There will be a cocktail party with the captain Welcoming everyone aboard,then Friday we will be in Melbourne.  Bill and I have an all day tour of the Australian Bush, Koalas and Kangaroos.  Then at night we have a special World Cruise outing.  So until next time 

Good night and God Bless!
