Hello All you CCers from "Down Under" on the Beautiful Pacific Princess, Wow, we finally made it, what a trip!:eek: It's 11:30PM haven't had our first bite to eat yet(It's a new record):o Crashed & burned about 3:30PM in our beautiful suite,after a brief tour of the ship & seeing the Matre' de & Purser Desk re: lost luggage:( (my first time) maybe!

Right now I feel like the walking dead, but Very Happy to be aboard.;)

We are a Rocking & Rolling & Wiggling & Swishing our Tail(Aft), oh & are Creaking badly. I can't sit straight in this chair, we are rocking so much,

Good Morning Capt Jot,

 

Glad you mad-e it, unfortunately without your luggage.:( Hopefully you will get your luggage soon. The weather here is sunny in the 70's today on my patio, how about on your sweet (suite) balcony? I have never been on a ship that small let me know all about it (good, bad and the ugly,:eek: if there is such a thing). Well since your a Captain you should be able to right the ship (rocking and a rolling).:D

 

Keep on cruzin,

 

Easykruz,

Great to hear from you so soon Bill, I'll take that 70's & Sunny in a heartbeat, my kind of weather on a Big Sweet Balcony;)

Bill thanks for checking in so quickly. Sounds like you could use a good meal and at least 8 hours sleep. Think of the rocking and rolling as a cradle. Sure hope the lost luggage shows up quickly. We never did find out of Tony ever got his lost bag from this fall.

 

Knowing the time difference (just tell us what time it is there now) would be helpful. Barb

Jot Bill,

 

I just realized (da) why your ship is rockin and rollin (down the river or is it down under), your headed south out of Sidney where the water is very rough towards Tasmania.

 

Oh no Mr. Bill.

 

Easykruz,

Mr. Bill:)

Hi Clare, Welcome aboard:)

 

Grueling is the right word, indeed!

"Lost" 1 out of 4. 1 of mine & yes, I did crosspack mine (A little of everything in both, except toiletries. Of course my Fav things were in the small one & All toiletries & shaver & my only comfortable shoes: the One Missing, of course:(

We will have a "fantabulous" voyage, again like your word.;)

 

Capt. Jot,

 

Is the ship fully booked on this segment? And when do you plan on sleeping?:eek: It's 1:15 AM, do you know where your bed is (kids are)?

 

Easykruz,

Dollar Bill

 

Yup, it is as tight as a "bug in a rug", No Upgrades on this 22 Day Seg.

My bed is on the other end of this Ship & there is a Woman in it right now, I think?:rolleyes:

Wow, did you say you are going to be on board for 51 days ? If so I'm so jealous !!!

Looking forward to your, "Live", posts, thanks for taking the time !

 

No, Not 51 Days, I hope the Live is for 51 days. We take a 10 Day House break & will find a helper before 34 days expire, I hope;) Then we are back on from Vancouver to Anchorage for the final 7 of the 51. We originally were booked for 58 Days (B2B2B2B2B) in a Mini & cut out some fat & upgraded.:eek:

 

Jot Bill,

Oh no Mr. Bill.

Easykruz,

Mr. Bill:)

 

Yup, Thanks for pointing that out, we are in the Tazman Sea, rough water indeed. (Although not as bad as Cape Horn, but then you had it like glass on the Golden around the Horn, so you never know;) )

There are going to be a lot of rough Seas for this little Ship between here & Vancouver.

Jot Bill ( hope it's ok to call you that so we can distinguish between the 2 Bills - as I'm sure we will hear a lot from easykruz Bill ),

 

I've been waiting for your Live. Glad to hear you are finally there. Looking forward to cruising along with you and Irene. It should be a great thread with your postings and easykruz Bill's postings of pictures you will provide. Another great Bill & Bill Show and Tell.:D

 

Thanks in advance for the great postings to come. Enjoy your cruise!:)

 

Mary

 

P.S. Guess you're still adjusting to the time change and that's why we're lucky that you're posting today during our daylight hours. LOL

Yes, N.O.W., I remember the day you got back, your Cable was Zero for the 1st 2 days:D

The speed & connection in here tonight is great or was for the 1st 3 hours;)

When I came in about 10:45PM? there was one couple on these seven CPUs , but they are long gone & been alone with everthing fine Until I just lock up on the unit next to me now. But my last post went out I see.:D

However, It is still locked up & my minutes are still running on it & I was able to log in next to my lock up?:confused: That NEVER Works, so I don't know what's going on now? I guess my clock is running on both machines at the same time, "Unheard of", in my experience, Very Strange!

Need to be getting a drink, chow(not on this ship,at this time) & some more ZZZZZZ's soon, can I go?

Later.........................................

Bill
