That is too bad about the cruise, but, hopefully you won't be working all the time and will be able to see a bit of Australia :D :D

Ed, you need to tell them you fly first class, or take a ship to get you there...CJ

Sorry about your cruise, but excited you are being "sent" to Australia. I hope your work is not of a nature that will keep you from exploring the country.

It depends on the computers. I am a sys admin and will be supporting the systems in that area. CJ Company policy is over 8hr flight you fly business class

Sorry to hear your news Ed, You don't have much luck with cruises, what with Star Princess and now this.

Well, business class beats steerage...CJ

But you are GOING to LOVE Australia.....where abouts will you be??

You don't get much luck with your cruises do you Ed. Do the copmany pay you for loss of your cruise, I guess it was all paid for by now- 8 weeks before at least. Which part of Australia are you going to. Maybe you can give me some tips.

I will be in the Sydney area working. At least business is better than baggage area. The company has said that since I will be gone for 2-3 months, instead of flying me home for week, they will fly Trish down. Maybe this is telling me that we will miss the hurricane. Now we will have to start planning on the Alaska cruise and tour for next year.

Sorry to hear about the cruise cancellation, Ed. :( Ok, business class to Australia, work and hopefully explore Australia for several weeks.....hmmm, now if you can get the company to pay for a cruise at the end of your work assignment....let's say from Sydney to Ft. Lauderdale, you'll have it made!!! Does the company have any job openings?????? :lol: :lol: :lol:

My goodness, Robyn will have to get her appointment book busy again :D :D

Now better news. Boss just informed me that they will pay for Trish to fly down while I am there. Will have to get in touch with Robyn.
