Bon Voyage

Well, today's the day we board the ship.  We have had a wonderful past few days visiting with our daughter, Jen, and boyfriend, Donato, in Florida. 

Now it's time to repack the bags and head for the ship.  Our first two days will be sea days and we will be meeting many of our Cruise Critic friends that we have met online through the rollcall forum for this cruise.  It will be nice to put faces on the names we have corresponded with for almost 2 years during the planning of this cruise.  Our "Meet & Greet" with this group totals over 400 people.  We will be going on privately arranged excursions at the ports with many of our Cruise Critic friends.

Today is Australia Day and the Aussies on board will be celebrating Australia's 225th birthday at Sail-a-way.  There will be lots of Australian flags waving as the ship sails from Fort Lauderdale.

So off we go as we start our South America adventure...
