I wasn't saying I am sorry that I am not going on it. I can always find something. Last Feb I was on the Star Princess fo 30 days and I will be on the Tahitian Princess in Dec for 20 days and the Pacific Princess next Aug for 58 days. You can always find something. Anyway 58 days in a mini-suite for $9000 beats what I could get on HAL. I seem to be sticking with Princess these days mostly over price. The plan doesn't hurt either.

Last year while I was on the Princendam I became interested in the princendams Amazon River Cruise this Nov. Thinking that the price might drop I waited a little too long as it was sold out 14 months in advance. Oh well. Yesterday playing around on Hal's website I checked out the Princendams Amazon River Cruise for Nov 2005 and yes it is SOLD OUT. Again 14 months in advance. So I checked out the world cruise and it too is sold out. Not as segments but as an entire cruise. I also remembered that Hal was having a 62 day circle Pacific cruise in Oct 2005. Checked it too and it is almost sold out too. Just some lower cabins left. HAL must be doing good. I was on the Princendams cruise from Lisbon to Capetown and it had just under 500 people. From Auckland to Sydney it was full but from Sydney to Singapore it was less then 400. Center of the dinning room was closed.
I guess all that stuff about the economy in the toilet is a little overstated.
Can you buy Tim Tams in USA?

Hi,
My girlfriend is a member of the Arnott family. In the 1990's due to the last Labor Gov't pressure the Co was sold to Campbells Inc. There was an attempt years ago to try to market them in the US but it was a total flop. Recently, the Pepredge Farm division of Campbells was thinking of putting them out in the US but nothing yet. I love the SAOs too and the mint slices and the tiny teddies and the shapes and the Jatz's etc etc.
The person who came up with them in the 60's died a few years back. My girlfriend's uncle cam up with the name from a horse at the Kentuckey Durby. Ans she says they were better years ago when the family made them.
