No I don't. I rang Carnival and she said do it now and take a photo of the test. So I did. Yay. Ready to go.

Packed and ready for tomorrow. Thanks for the advice about the RAT test. Will have to do it tomorrow. Bother. Kay

Australia is at the end of the earth. We always have those long flights and still front up for more. At least I won't have my hideous flight till the end of my holiday. I checked instructions and we need to have our RAT test for Covid within 3 days of boarding.. See you real soon. Kay

I just realised that we sail THIS WEEK. Whee.

That must be awful for you. But if you don't succeed, try try again. Kay

How about we all put up our photos so we can recognise each other?. It has been helpful on previous cruises. Kay

Not long now. Are you getting excited? I am. Kay

And no walking up the stairs because they close the lifts? Hooray. Kay

I was told that Muster is done electronically ? Is that true? Kay

Halleluja. I am checked in. It only took all day. the check in page has us arriving on 5 May and refuses to change. I was advised to skip that part and was finally finished. Rather wobbly website? I chatted to a fellow from Philippines but he couldn't help. Very frustrating experience. See you on board. Kay

Join the club. There are a few of us solos. I thought I could check in today 30 March but it's been put back a day. Perhaps it's US date? Kay

more learning to be done. I love learning new things. Maybe that's why I travel. I had to translate for my husband; his Australian accent was so strong nobody could understand him. I also remember translating for some Chinese girls in France, and an English woman in Italy. Her efforts required her to yell louder if they didn't understand. Kay

They talk about British English, American English and Indian English but we don't get a mention. Thanks for that information. All Greek to me. Kay So does CA stand for Canada or California?

They went totally out of fashion after our then Prime Minister Tony Abbott wore them. These days the blokes wear very well covering board shorts

What is a wife beater? Yes thongs is our name for your flipflops. Your Speedos are called Budgie Smugglers here. Do you know our little Budgerigars [birds] Very popular cage birds, commonly known as budgies. Do you get the picture? the mind boggles. Kay
