Our last evening in Sydney we had dinner with the Koala’s (no not the bears) but the group of fellow travelers that I met on the Cruise Critic board. It was a nice seafood buffet at the Marriott Hotel.
Sail away day we were up early and ready to board the ship. We walk to McDonald’s for breakfast and then went back and got everything ready to go. We arrived at the ship around 11 am and had to wait in line about half an hour to go thru security. It went by fast as we were talking with some people we met.
Our room is great – we love the extra room in the mini suite and I love the bath tub. We had some lunch and then unpacked and sort thru the dirty laundrey (there was quite a bit) and then our customary walk around the ship to familiarize ourselves. Very nice surprise from Sam’s daughters awaited us in the room. They each sent Dad an on board credit for his birthday and Meg sent us a lovely floral arrangement for our anniversary.
We had an early dinner around 5:30 as we had the life boat drill at 7:45 and sailway was at 9 pm. Sailway was magnificent. The ship was positioned in Circular Quay and we had a view of the Opera House on one side and the Sydney Harbour Bridge on the other. We stayed on the balcony for sail away and we were glad because we got some great photos.
The weather is on the cooler side and as Sam said a bit “nippy”. We are waiting for room service to bring our breakfast (we asked for a full breakfast in the room and got it). No plans for today – just kick back and relax.

Sounds like you are having an enjoyable time. Boone is laying next to me, with his head on the laptop, looking at the pictures as I caught up on the blog. :-)
