The Itinerary
For those of you not exactly sure where we're going:
6 Aug Brisbane to Los Angeles
7 Aug LA to Las Vegas
9 Aug LV to LA
11 Aug Board Dawn Princess for 22 day cruise to Sydney via Hawaii, Tahiti, French Polynesia & New Zealand
3 Sep Sydney to Brisbane
Having moved a mountain of paperwork in the last five days, we are now furiously packing for our flight to LA tomorrow morning. The little things like padlocks for suitcases and adaptors for electrical stuff seem to sidetrack us. Then there's the issue of how many shoes a girl can fit into her luggage allowance. Qantas is pretty good to us on the way there but we have a discount airline flight once the ship arrives back in Sydney and the cheapie airlines aren't renowned for the generosity of their luggage limits.
We have already been chatting online with other people joining the Dawn Princess in LA, and most of the Australians and NZers seem to have already left for the US! And we've been reading a blog from one of the world cruise passengers on the ship. It is interesting that the same old issues come up in shipboard life, such as missed ports due to bad weather, engines breaking down, power cuts, backed up loos.... Hope that is all over when we board!
