7th June 1st posting

Hello everyone, we have just paid our deposit for Dawn Princess 2011 World Cruise. We have been reading some people's blogs and are very excited with the prospect of doing this cruise. We have been reseaching the ports of call. In some circumstances we have had to look up the Atlas to see where they are and also borrow some books from our local library just to find a little bit of information about those ports. We have read Gaznjo's blog and have found it very funny and informative. They sound very much like us. We haven't started to collect any foriegn money as yet, maybe the AUD may go up to that 92c to USD, but will keep an eye on the markets. I (Linda) have bought today, a bar of Exit soap for those greasy stains. Just a little preparation for hand washing. I intend to take a bar of velvet soap for other hand washing. 21 days into our cruise we will be Elite and our laundry will be done for us. Yipee.......the last cruise we were on the Dawn Princess to Hawaii and our cabin was at the rear of the ship and of course all the laundries were at the front...so lots of walking and lugging washing and ironing through the ship.
