Great to "meet" folks who know New Mexico. The big issue we are seeing is airfares for this trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Toro_33618 Posted March 23, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 23, 2023 We had booked a cruise leaving 3/28/2023 from Sydney to New Zealand but cancelled due to masking and other restrictions. Never actually booked the flight arrangements but they certainly would be more then the cruise fare. We were seeing travel time of around 22 hours or so and fares of $4000+ for the both of us.

sfjakey Posted March 31, 2023 #5 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Looking for hotel near ship terminal and airport for 2 nights in Brisbane before flight back to SFO. Also, one that will work to see some of the area. Have been looking but nothing. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newmexikids Posted January 15 Author #6 Share Posted January 15 We are staying at the Holiday Inn - seems like it should be easy to get around via Uber, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RE Guru Posted January 21 #8 Share Posted January 21 We’ll be on luminosa for 3 cruises starting feb 4 to beginning of March. He has mobility issues but we’re looking for ideas of things to see and do while on board and in Brisbane. I already booked a days Brisbane excursion. Any other ideas are welcome. I would love to snorkel. Anything with stained glass. Ideas welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RE Guru Posted January 21 #9 Share Posted January 21 ’m an avid ballroom dancer. My husband is not. Typical cruise dancing scene is “meh”. Looking to see if there are any leaders traveling on Luminosa in February who might be interested in a dance partner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots to see & experience our tropical north. On our cruise you will have opportunities to snorkel at Mystery Island & Lifou. Not sure how long you have in Brisbane but I would suggest visiting the Gold Coast (about 90 mins drive south from Brisbane City). Australia Zoo (Steve Irwin) again about 90 mins drive north from Brisbane City. In Brisbane itself, South Bank & Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. Steve.

RE Guru Posted January 24 #11 Share Posted January 24 Thank you Steve, we’re very exited to see Australia. We did set up a tour for Brisbane and will be going to Gold Coast. I don’t believe that we will get to the zoo but I love animals. My husband suffered a stroke a year and a half ago so he is limited to what he can do. It has always been our dream to go scuba diving as we are certified, at the great barrier reef, but, I will absolutely try to find a place where I can snorkel, and he can enjoy himself above the water. If you have any other suggestions, please let me know. jane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
