"Hello Sailor!", and Leaving on a jet plane...

Yesterday, we paid the balance of the bigger cruise to Norway. Lots of money, but we are so looking forward to it.
We also got our flight tickets, and you will know by now, that I have checked them from top to bottom, fine print and all. We even know where we will be sitting, and are quite happy with the allocation. (Just waiting for that very nice check-in person to say we've been up-graded to Business Class!!! Our travel agent tells us that it's more likely to happen from Premium Economy than from Economy, so fingers crossed)

There was a bit of fine tuning with scheduled departure times, but nothing too serious. We just have to make sure we have checked in around 6.00am the day we fly to Japan. Six a.m. is usually the time I am settling back down for that final bit of sleep before the body clock says I have to wake up for the 7.00am news on ABC/Classic FM - of course. 
(We haven't listened to any commercial radio station for about 30 years! Can't stand talk-back radio of any kind, and don't like some of the newer music. If that's what they call lyrics today, anyone could be a famous songwriter!)

So, there we are, all paid up and ready to go. Just need to do that dreaded trial packing!!!
