I will admit to being a little nervous this morning.
The cruise is going to be great, I have no problem with getting on board. It does however represent a significant milestone for us, as this was the date, the method of transport, and the goal for us ever since I found out that we could jump across from Singapore to Sydney by boat about 14 months ago (back then the goal was to get here without using a plane, so we compromised a bit on that! Crikey I'm glad we did.. we definately did our fair share of trains) I think the nervs are about what awaits us at the other end!
When we get off we will be dashing about everywhere trying to sort out a location, and a house, and a school, and a driving license, and a car, and a tax number, and a job, and some furniture and a dentist (Urgh!), and some Money!... and everything else we havent thought of or know about yet
The genius behind the trip ending on the cruise ship though, is that we can do absolutely bugger all about it until we actually arrive!.. so for the next 16 days, we can do nothing but relax and plan, but not act at all. (Genius or Crazy - one of the two!...I'll get back on that one)
We are off to Australia today!!.. that actually seems true for the first time.
Well, what an adventure it has been getting to this point, but just think the next three year are going to be an adventure, just a different kind. Am sure you are all settled on the boat by now, I thought of you at half 4 this morning while I was feeding. Hope you will be able to update us soon.

Hope the Celebrity Solstice lives up to hopes and expectations. I actually think doing the last leg as a cruise is genius rather than crazy, provided, of course, James, that you relax and enjoy it. It should be quite a relief for you and Steph to know that for the next couple of weeks at least it's up to someone else to look after you all and make sure you're okay, cos there must have been quite a few moments of stress on that front during your overland travels! Anyway, looking forward to hearing about the delights of cruising, not least bearing in mind mum's and my plans for our grand tour! Bob voyage! xxxx Gramps
