Happy New Year - 2009

Happy New Year to all our family and friends. 2009 will be a great year. I did have a big night to bring in the New year, hence a late posting. I was slightly unwell yesterday!! Haven't done that in many years though!! We spent New Years Eve with some friends - it was a great night:

A great Family holiday

Well we are back from our Cruise to Fiji, Tonga and New Caledonia. 16 nights of bliss really, great food, great company and a great ship. There were about 1780 passengers, however it didn't really feel like it. Being our 4th cruise we adapted quickly to sea life and settled in to our cabin well. There was lots of exploring to do on the ship which we did, but I still think even by the end of the cruise I was still confused about which end of the ship I was on!!!

Of course we intend to do more cruising in due course as we really love it. Here are some memories of this cruise and we look forward to planning our next one!








More photos later!!
