Australia 2016

 Welcome to our latest blog.  AUSTRALIA.

On February 13th 2016 we will begin a once in a lifetime venture, a Trip to Australia, celebrating our 50th Wedding Anniversary. (Which is actually in June). Gene has made some wonderful plans, and we're excited to get it started. Once we land in Sydney, we will board a flight on Qantas airlines to Cairns Australia, on the northeastern part of Australia, close to the Great Barrier Reef, its a 3 hour flight. We will be there for 5 days, then heading back to spend 5 days in Sydney BEFORE boarding two different 16 day back to back cruises that takes us around the entire continent of Australia, and New Zealand, and one stop in Bali Indonesia. There will be several ports along the way, and a lot of cruising days, so we hope to keep you informed with pictures and information of what we see and do.

First of all, there is a huge time difference from Colorado to Australia is about 18 hours...ahead.. because we cross over the international date line, its usually the next day in Australia. So when its 11 am Monday morning in Colorado, it'll be 5:00 am Tuesday morning in Australia.

We will be relying on Internet and e-mail only, NO cell phones. Australia's phone service is not anything like United States phone services. So we hope to have Internet most of the time we're gone. (fingers crossed)

Our journey will start Saturday night February 13th at 7:10 p.m. Denver to San Francisco, then at 10:35 pm Saturday night our flight leaves San Francisco to Sydney Australia and arrives at 8:35 A.M. Monday February 15th. However it is a 15 hour flight. So I guess that means we get no February 14th, no Valentines Day!

We'll send an email and let everyone know to log into our blog and read our latest.
