hipster1 Posted May 17, 2014 #107 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Gay, Great pics! Beautiful colors. Have you started planning your Canadian cruise yet?? Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Cruizers Posted May 17, 2014 Author #108 Share Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) Afternoon Ali, not completly but did start looking at possible accommodations. Was talking to our friends Larry & Cherie and since we will be boarding on the 18th, we will use that as one of our Hotel nights. One problem for us, we might need an extra night at the Quebec Hotel since we will be arriving so late coming from California, so may have to look at arriving in Quebec on the evening of the 16th, giving us the 17th to sight see, then board on the 18th and settle in before going out again. We will work that out with them. I also will need to see how our daughter is with her jobs and what she will handle. I figure by the 3 of us in one room we can split the cost. We are paying for the cruise so she only will have her flight, part of hotel and On board costs to worry about oh and any tours she does. The ship departs at 3 PM on Oct 19th, 2015.

Desert Cruizers Posted May 17, 2014 Author #109 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Ali I was looking over my photos again off the card and can zoom in on your area at the OLL, but you must have been away from your table taking pictures. There were 3 tables with nobody there so we were all walking around. Gay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hipster1 Posted May 18, 2014 #110 Share Posted May 18, 2014 (edited) Gay, I thought you guys were going this year!!! You have plenty of time to arrange things:) Thats the cruise you will see Lou and Don and the San Fran boys again right?? I think they were saying they were doing that same cruise when we saw them at dinner in Izumi. Quebec is beautiful.. Yeh, we were walking around the luau before dinner..I actually was able to sneak in the front and take some great shots of the pig in the ground!

Desert Cruizers Posted May 18, 2014 Author #111 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Yes we will see Lou & Don again and perhaps this time will get to meet the SF boys. In those 12 days we only met Lou twice. Once at the M&M and coming out of the WJ. Gay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Cruizers Posted May 18, 2014 Author #113 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Yes I am in the process of reposting them and have no idea why they disappeared. Thank goodness it didn't do it to the other cruises. I am making sure which ones need to be reposted so hope to get them back up over the next couple days. Sorry about that.

Desert Cruizers Posted May 18, 2014 Author #115 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Will repost more of NZ, for some reason they left the building. To give everyone a brief rundown of our trip, our family left LAX for Sydney on march 15th, arriving on the 17th and stayed at the Meriton Apts at 329 Pitt Street and stayed post cruise 9 additional days. For an extended stay or family, the Apts are the way to go. With the 4 of us, and if we had stayed 2 to a hotel room, would have cost us $1500, whereby the Apts cost us $1103 which we split. March 18th we jumped on the HOHO bus and toured all over Sydney down to the Opera House ending back up to fishermans Warf for an early dinner. During our 9 days in Sydney, we went to Manly, the Zoo and took a trip up to Featherdale and the Blue Mountains. I hope to repost all the missing photos that flew away.

Desert Cruizers Posted May 18, 2014 Author #117 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Over on Hilo, we took a trip called the land of Frozen Fire and traveled thru an area taken over by one of the recent lava flows, now cooled but dangerous still to walk out on and part of the trip was to the Lava Tree Forest where trees had been engulfed and their remains formed interesting shapes by the lava.

Desert Cruizers Posted May 18, 2014 Author #119 Share Posted May 18, 2014 purplethorn, following the 9 days Post cruise, we reboarded the Radiance of the Seas on April 10th, 2014 for our return trip home. Itinerary: Sydney, Picton, Wellington with 5 Sea Days arriving in Moorea , Bora Bora, & Tahiti followed by 5 more sea days and arriving in Lahaina on April 26th, and ending in Honolulu on april 27, to embark again at 10 PM for our 12 day Hawaii back to Vancouver. Our 13 day NZ cruise embarked Sydney, Australia on March 19th, 2014 with 2 Days before reaching Meldford, Doubtfull & Dusky Sounds. Then unto Akaroa, Wellington, Tauranga, Auckland and finally Bay of Islands. We ended up seeing Wellington twice on this trip, so during our NZ cruise we visited the Zoolandia Sanctuary which was quite lovely and also a very cool day. During our TP visit we did the Coastal & Shipwreck Tour which included a trip to a Sheep ranch and show by his dogs. Will Post that. Our 12 day Hawaii beginning the evening of April 27th at 10 PM, included, Kauai, Kona, Hilo, Lahaina and back to Honolulu until 10 PM. I organized a Royal Circle Island tour thru Eno Tour Company there in Honolulu and that was a wonderful way to spend the day, bringing us back to the aloha Towers and the ROS by 5 PM.
