Hello again. Its been a while

jacketwatch · February 14, 2017

Hi guys. Its been a while but time to be more active I think!

I hope all has been well. We are fine and I am fully retired now and loving it! We have a cruise planned out of Sydney in Dec. to the New Zealand Sounds and several port stops there. Its on the Ovation of the Seas. Has anyone ver done anything like this? I assume the sounds are scenic touring sort of like the Norwegian fjords.

We also plan to stay in Sydney and Brisbane before our cruise so we are looking f/w to that too!

I found that hotels in Sydney are pretty high though not so much in Brisbane. Anyway our niece is there so as its been about 7 yrs. we are looking f/w to seeing her.

Cheers! Larry

Hi Larry! Happy retirement! Sounds like you’re taking advantage of it with some wonderful cruises! We’d love to meet you on a cruise one day, I think we enjoy a lot of the same things! Happy cruising!

LOL – We’re in Austria while you’re in Australia! We’ll actually be in Vienna that day (ignoring the International Date Line) in the middle of a river cruise visiting Christmas Markets from Prague to Budapest. We’ll lift a mug of Gluhwein and toast to the start of your cruise!

Ok and Ill lift a VB (Victoria Bitter. Much more popular in Oz than Fosters) to you. ??

Wow...Larry, and Michael and Amy...your cruises sound wonderful...I would be jealous except I'm not a jealous person...LOL So happy for you. Larry, I asked if you had any cruises coming on the "Dock" before I saw this post... Congrats to you, and to Michael and Amy for the great cruises coming up. I'm going back to therapy this spring and going to work hard to get in better shape and get back to cruising before I get old...haha Will be old this next birthday...LoL

I hope your therapy works! If its physical therapy it can help a great deal. Been there. Just follow the plan for best results.

Good luck!

Thank you, Larry...yes...it will be physical therapy...again. Have spent half my life in physical therapies...but it has always helped to keep me going. Very happy to be starting up again.
