We Are READY TO SAIL
Greetings friends and family...the moment we have been waiting for is almost here. It is Sunday morning Feb 24 and we have returned from Mass at St. Patrick's on a perfect summer day in Sydney. We will be picked up at 11:30 and go to the Passenger Terminal which we have already scouted out so there should not be any surprises.
We'll have all afternoon to familiarize ourselves with the ship, confirm our daily excursions reservations and check out where our dining table is located in the Brittania.
Then at 6 p.m. it should be quite a site as the QV slips away from her berth into Sydney Harbor to greet the arriving Queen Elizabeth II...the two sisters will salute each other as fire ships douse them both with arches of ocean spray while all the boats in the harbor sound their horns.... and away we go..

Blog looks GREAT! I saw you question about re-ordering your entries. You are correct, there is an easy way to show your first entry first and your latest entry last.

Go to your "Layout" Tab. Select Edit Blog Archive. You will see an option to show oldest first. I think that will do it.

Enjoy your trip!

You look great, and hope you are having fun. We like dirt, and will be waiting in Arizona when you get time to stop in.
