Embarkation

Auckland, New Zealand

So how did we manage to get here, on the Queen Elizabeth?

Initially we were planning another trip to Europe in September, this time hoping to spend more time in Italy. Then Liam announced that he was hoping we would join them in a big family holiday in Ao Nang in Thailand for his 40th birthday in September.
We then thought we could probably squeeze in a little holiday in the late summer. I found a short cruise around Vanuatu that looked rather nice. However, Gray discovered that the Queen Elizabeth was coming to Auckland in February. As you can see it didn’t take much persuasion to get me to agree to this voyage!!! So here we are sitting in our stateroom (not a cabin apparently) drinking a complimentary French champagne!
Methinks this is going to be OK.
