First of all, let me apologise to my league of adoring fans who hang off my every word, I have been neglecting my blog. I have been sooooo sick and really today is the first day I have felt even close to 100%.

First Day in Phuket
Cape Sienna Hotel
Well we are in Phuket at last. Plane trip was uneventful, pleasant but tiring. After picking up a sim card (it is an unwritten law that one must remain connected at all times) each we headed for the exit. Our man was waiting dutifully for us to whisk us off to our Accomodation at the Cape Sienna Hotel. Nice hotel, each with a balcony overlooking the ocean. I’ll take a video of our rooms and add it to the bottom when I get the chance. We arrived late at night so it was straight to bed. Had a great sleep and I would like to say awoke refreshed but the remnants of this flu still persist for me.
Up, Up and Away…
Didn’t get much sleep last night still got the after effects of this nasty cold. Anyway nothing makes you feel better quicker than going away on holidays. Our first flight takes us to Sydney for a 4 hour wait until the final leg to Phuket. Aaron Gregg was also flying to Sydney on business at the same time we were leaving so he was kind enough to take us to the airport. Thanks Aaron.
Pre Trip Dinner
Let the anticipation build, we have just had our first pre trip dinner to discuss our upcoming trip to Thailand.
While I must admit it doesn’t generate the same excitement as a trip to Europe, I am looking forward to renewing acquaintances with Thailand. Especially as we will experiencing it with a couple of new travel companions in Dion and Susan.
Knowing we will be keen to make the most of the Dance nights aboard the ship, we have decided to brush up on our moves and get some lessons.
We have been looking on the Queen Victoria itinerary and we notice our 2 nights at sea are Themed Ball nights. The first one, after Venice, is of course a Masquerade ball. So Shopping in Venice for a mask, (or before if we are really organised) will be required.
And so begins our 2016 Europe adventure! Like most big trips the anticipation is nearly as exciting as the journey. Looking at places to go and things to do, booking accommodation and walking the streets on Google earth!
The countdown is on and the time will fly. We hope you enjoy sharing the experience with us.
