Maybe I should pack my Bonine just in case

Nah. We’ll be aft with glass of something good in hand riding the waves. Very windy here though. Cold. But back to 37 then 41 mid week. Crazy summer.

NASA gave ginger tablets to the shuttle astronauts for motion sickness. I used them when doing flight simulator training and it made a huge difference to me.
Having said all that I’ve Never used anything on a ship.

I have found a lanyard to pack, with plastic card holder attached. Yay. Also bought a $2 Australia Day flag headband from Coles

Who are you and what have you done with Anna?

 

[Anna]

it was the least bogan thing they had and I didn’t want Straitman to feel left out in his elegant board shorts

I have been looking for some green/yellow type board shorts; found something suitable, Australian rugby shorts for $69.00 screw that, was in Big W over the weekend and found something like straitman had for $12.00 which was a good price, might have to buy myself some.

Also in Big W they were selling printers for $19.00

My shorts were from Rivers and the flags from Woolies.

I haven't looked at Rivers but Woolies seems to have a good range of 'stuff' this year.

It’s just that, knowing a few people on this cruise, you are the person I’d regard as least likely to do something like this

Having said that. Is there any chance in hell we could all meet for an embarkation photo? That would be the daggiest but funniest thing I could think we might do.

Ignoring the ‘timing’ text, what time are people thinking of arriving and lucky @sinophile +1, are you doing an excursion?

 

[love_the_life]

I'm a grumpy old lady and I don't do Australia Day dress ups for anyone! But happy for a photo in my regular elegant attire

Well Ai just purchased an Australia Day inflatable ball which we can throw to our hearts content around the swimming pool. I expected you to be in that Aussie cossie DameO. It was either that or a stubby holder!

What you want me to wear a stubby holder? No way.

What you want me to wear a stubby holder? No way.

I was wondering if you’d get that!

 

[Anna]

I don't usually do embarkation photos but will make an exception this time

So that makes 2 of us. Timing? I think love_the_life might arrive at the Port around 1.45?

 

[straitman]

Four of us will be there at about 1:00pm. BB won’t be there until 4pm ish.

Maybe a group photo at the bar when we meet after the emergency drill.

 

[Bundy Bear]

Won't be arriving until after 4:00pm
