They are here all year round and need the islands as much as the islands need them.

Wouldn't know about that, have never been able to see any invisible things.

Agreed, we all are wishing you well.

Australian volunteers, who have been stranded in Vanuatu since an airline's collapse, have been offered a lift home on a luxury cruise ship.  Sixteen students and their chaperones with the Hive Rotary Club in Albury were on the Pacific island of Tanna when Air Vanuatu unexpectedly declared insolvency last week. Their club, whose travel insurance policy did not cover insolvency, has been left with $10,000 in out-of-pocket expenses and has been desperately searching for a way to bring the team home. Today, however, their luck turned around. The group have got themselves on charter planes from Tanna back to Port Villa, where a P&O cruise has docked. The company has offered them a ride back to Australia on the six-day Pacific Adventure cruise. The team were "thrilled" for the "opportunity of a lifetime", Hive Rotary Club president Kellie Kadaoui said in a social media post.

I have certainly never seen any bed bugs on any ship I have been on, and I certainly haven't felt any invisible ones either.

Yes, lol. A different bag, this one was paper and came with the pastie

Tried to steal my pastie from out of the bottom of the bag between my legs while I was sitting on a bench by the harbour. One tried to take a chihuahua on a leash according to the shop owner.

Wait till you see the gulls at St Ives England, like the size of Eagles,

I would say that NZ has more scenery coming into ports. Port Chalmers for Dunedin, Lyttleton for Christchurch, The Sounds, Bay of Isalnds ans the sail into Auckland all have a great view coming in and going out. Australia has the sail into Sydney Harbour, Hobart, Port Phillip Bay for Melbourne but otherwise the sail ins are not that great.

The Swans will stay in first place for another week.

3rd quarter, Swans 14.12 (96) to Blues 7.9 (51)

Yeah, getting there.

Have a nice trip. I may get the 3rd quarter but not sure if I will last for the 4th, as I had a big day, drs appointment and physio etc.

1st half, Sydney 7.8 (50) to Carlton 5.6 (36).

1st Quarter, Carlton 5.3 (33) to Sydney 3.6 (24)

Good job

Sorry, No idea. Have you searched this forum for insurance threads?

I didn't start following rugby league until in the 80s.

The Swans play the Blues tonight, 7.40pm

Ronny Coote?

I was still working, as was many of our friends and family that came along. A long weekend cruise fitted well. Definitely not a South's fan, in fact they are actually one of the NRL clubs I like to see lose, along with Manly, Brisbane and Melbourne.

Your welcome

As yet they may not have changed but due to demand, as categories become scarcer, the prices will rise, just like on any popular cruise.
