All Packed & Ready to Go!

With less than 24 hours until we sail out of Sydney I have finished all my packing, cleaned the house to within an inch of its life & completed all the last minute instructions for house sitting & dog minding! Phew ....... will need that holiday! Before anyone begins to feel sorry for me, I must confess to having a lot of help from Mike. I certainly didn't mow the lawns, vacuum or cook dinner!

The beautiful Diamond Princess arrived in Sydney around 12 MD today en route from Bangkok. Those staying on board will have an overnight stay in Sydney with most of tomorrow to check out the sights. We board around 2pm with sail away at 8pm.

We plan to leave Bathurst around 9am with Sarah & Ruby (daughter/granddaughter) then collect Naomi (daughter) from Camperdown and head to Circular Quay where we will drop off our luggage and find a car park. Then find somewhere nice for lunch before embarkation.

So time to do some last minute chores.

My next post should be from onboard the Diamond Princess Friday evening.

I have attached photos of our ship & the route we will be taking.
