I read this group two or three times a week and am an infrequent poster.
I find it to be most helpful and sometimes entertaining. I have gotten
a lot of good information from various participants about our upcoming
cruise, our first, to Australia and New Zealand. I enjoy the usually
very well written cruise reviews, usually ignore the press releases and
stay out of the pi***ng contests which erupt. I take several heart
medications daily and, while I had already planned on taking the bottles
and backup prescriptions, found that thread interesting.
Ray Goldenberg did offer to give me a review of the hotel where we will
be staying in Sydney and promptly did so upon his return. That was much
appreciated. It was about what one would expect from a five star hotel
but confirmation of expectations is nice to have.
Re: our cruise. I think we jumped through the final hoop yesterday when
we received our Australian electronic travel authorization. We've been
in deep south Texas (Brownsville) for the past two weeks in our motor
home and our new passports awaited us in the held mail when we got home
Tuesday. Now it's just a matter (I hope) of making our final payment
(late August), getting our travel documents and waiting out a long 4 1/2
months until we can climb on an airplane in Austin.
