Day minus 5 
We are all counting down the days, instead of months or weeks. At dinner last night, we asked the children what we should call this blog. Immediately the reply was “All the Family Came” and so this trip has its official name.
Our clothes have been checked out by the ‘fashion police’ to make sure they are fancy enough!
We know that we are going to have a marvellous time and assume that the children will be swept up by our enthusiasm. But we are mindful that mummy and daddy may not share our enthusiasm. Many cruise ships cater for older people like us, so we are hoping that on this short hop from Sydney to home will not be too long if it is not their cup of tea.
