Itachi!!!!

Hey!! where's the pics from your cruise???? Did I miss 'em?

Wish I could join you all in 2012 but just not possible :( You'll have a great time though, that's one cruise I'd love to go on. :)

We were 1 minute from getting on the plane when we got the text to call P&O, wish we'd got it earlier then we wouldn't have gone to Sydney at all!!.....I've done a bit of comfort eating/drinking so back to the eating plan, lol I just hope July is a good time to cruise the South Pacific.

We got our refund obviously and 25% off our next cruise, to be booked by 31st Dec and originally to travel by 31st March!!! I politely rang and said "that's not going to happen, how am I supposed to get hols by then" with hubby then out of work!......Nah it wasn't happening.....so the date was extended :)

Well July was the first reasonable month hubby could get holidays I almost didn't get mine with it being Targets Toy Sale time!!! but I managed :)

So did you end up coming off better from the deal after the extra trip to Sydney and did you play a bit in Sydney while you were there?

I actually am only just sorting out my photos now - to understand why I will need to explain. You know that feeling u experience when your back and you dont want to be reminded lol. We finally booked another one and yeah i could bring myself to do them. I think I still have your gmail - the photos are on facebook - I will try and search you on FB and add you so you can see them, SO many to sort through!

I like the way you have just dusted yourself off and booked another one. I personally think it would be too easy to wallow in self pity but i am very stoked at how you are standing tall and booked another one. Good on you! :)

Yeah I must admit I'd be a bit of a sook about it especially if I'd travelled interstate to board the ship.

 

You do have to hope for the best and take things as they come with any holiday but that is easier said than done !! I admire how positive you are Lizard :)

[Sandielle]

Great news, Lizard. Hope everything goes well for you next time. :)

[Kiwi Kruzer]

Good on you Lizard.

We did end up better of oysterfield...surprisingly enough :)

Still waiting for the out of pocket expenses to be paid out though, so we'll be even better off :)

Didn't play in Sydney at all really.....got off the plane from Adelaide and hubby was so pissed we went straight to the Qantas desk and changed our return flight and went home the next day :(

Stayed at the Ibis King Street Wharf that night.....Had dinner out and then lunch the next day before flying home....didn't even take the camera out of the bag :eek: being the happy snapper I am hubby knew the mood I was in without having to ask ;)

[Lizard©]

Good on you Lizard.

If it ever happens again stroke hubbies brow, keep him calm, and enjoy a few nights away and then get the freebies when you get home.

Always make the most of any situation.

We got a 50% reduction on a further Carnival Cruise after our botched swine flu cruise in Mexico, NO MONEY REFUNDS though.

and just this year we used it to do an Alaskan cruise. However, at a cost of extra airfare to North America.
