10/17/08 thru 10/18/08 At Sea

After the other long stretches, two sea days doesn't seem so bad. Besides, we're headed for the primary reason I came on this trip: New Zealand and Australia. All of the other islands were nice and I'm glad that I was able to see them but they were just a warm-up. I guess that I look at this trip in the same way that I view dinner. Hawaii and the islands are the appetizer, New Zealand and Australia are the main course and I have French Polynesia for dessert! Not a bad meal....

Bring on the entree!
