Re: Off on my travels..............................again
We are doing our first cruise since I came ashore in 1966 !! We leave Auckland on the 22nd. of January on the '' DIAMOND PRINCESS '' and call at Tauranga, Akaroa, Christchurch, Dunedin, Milford Sound ( I think we have all the daylight hours actually in the Sound ) Hobart, Melbourne and finally, Sydney. 13 days,12 nights. We have a few nights in Sydney and then fly home to Auckland. And to complete the adventure we are flying back to Auckland with an airline we have never flown with before -- Lan Chile. It should be an adventure, regards Peter in NZ.

Hi Peter,
Give Lou a shout in Dunedin.
He will make you very welcome.
I was there a couple of years ago.
Enjoy your trip. I do it every year.
Cheers
Brian.

Peter, we have done that one three times with Princess and I can assure you it is a great one. Milford Sound is one of the wonders of the world and I hope the wewather is good enough for you to get in there. The ship you are taking is the sister to the one we will be on. Friend of mine was on her last year and very impressed with it.


Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.
