Looking forward to seeing New Zealand and Australia. We have been waiting since New Years Eve when we decided this would be great travel resolution! Besides isn't nice when you make a resolution you can keep!

I heard that yesterday was a cruise huge sale day and prices were really tumbling. I wonder if that had something to do with the Cruise Expo in Brisbane?

Did anyone go?
