D-Day!

That's D for "Departure" - up this morning at 5am.. down to the airport - P&O are being a bit scummy on their airfares this round - last time we had QANTAS, this time it's Virgin "pay for everything" Blue.

Flight down was ok - we left rain in Brisbane to meet more rain in Sydney!

Check in and customs was nice and quick (This trip we're Platinum members so we had 'Preferred Checkin and Boarding' which was nice).

The ship looks like it's leaving a little early - it's only 4:45pm and we're already powering up!

Just finished the safety drill - below is a pic! :)

Lifeboat drill was rather boring - but I suppose it's required!

Dave is still waiting on his luggage! hope it didn't end up IN the harbour!

Food!! this was SOME of what was getting loaded on when we arrived!!

Gonna head up on deck now - to watch the sail out of Sydney!!
