Very interesting landscape...

Island Star (formerly Celebrity Horizon) in Santos, Brazil from Costa Fortuna

WHAT A FIND, TERRY :D :D

Her former paint job was more elegant. But the all white seems to make her look larger ? Nice little ship, hope they keep her in good shape. As ships go, she is not that old.

Liz, Pacific Princess entering Sydney Harbour. Now in Port, flags out.

FANTASTIC :D :D Not so long now :D

And here is Silver Cloud:

Nassau cam down but this view from Millie is the total reverse of what we would have seen…..

Fantastic series of captures Jackie! Manuela, Silver Cloud's pax have a great view! And if it is Sunday (which it is here)....must only be 4 weeks until Liz arrives :D :D

We have to thank my neighbour Barb, for alerting me and sending me the 1st 4 captures. I was busy watching a CD which I had picked up at Austravel . I am now planning flights seriously, but Singapore Airlines don't release fares until 11 months before hand. We leave Sydney on Mercury 1 year today: embarkation as yesterday.

Thank you to our new member Barb for the PP captures :D Jackie, I'm surprised Singapore Airlines won't allow you to book until 11 months beforehand? Most airlines seem to allow bookings 12 months out - just checked the Qantas UK webiste and they have January 2008 dates.

Robyn, It's the return date that is causing the problem. Hopefully( if it doesn't snow as we are going over the tops) we are going to see a Travel agent in Saddleworth tomorrow. She is an independant, which I find better in this sort of situation.

Allegra DaNang From the " If you live long enough…." dept --- in "my day" Da Nang was the Baghdad of today. Now we're watching cruise ships and tour buses from there…..

Sapphire towering above everything at Tauranga. You can see how close the beaches are. Harbour side...and Ocean Beach at the top. Golden Rio

Tender heading ashore from Tahitian Princess in Hiva Oa. Don't think we have caught this call before. On the Marqueasa Island itinerary.
