Christmas Cards Are Mailed

Now that we have given this blog to so many thru our Christmas Cards I thought we should at least post some message to let you know our plans.
Our schedule is to leave from LA on January 21st on the ship Odyssey from the Seabourn line. After a number of stops in places such as Hawaii, Tahiti, and New Zealand we land in Melbourne Australia on February 22nd. There we catch the ship Diamond Princess from the Princess line. This ship will take us to a few stops in Australia before heading north to Singapore, Viet Nam, and China. We will leave the Diamond Princess in Beijing on March 29th. We will spend about 8 days in China where we will visit my sister who lives in Shanghai. From there we will fly back to Sidney Australia for a couple days then fly to New Zealand where we will meet up with all of our kids. From April 11 thru the 22nd we will tour NZ. The kids will fly home and Chris and I will fly to Tahiti where we will catch a cruise thru French Polynesia ending May 7th. Then we will finally fly back home.
Hopefully this trip will provide some interesting opportunities that you will enjoy sharing with us.
Look for more as we close in on our departure.
