We have boarded our Viking ship,  Venus and have settled into our stateroom.   Our wonderful TA, Caroline Swift,  has again ordered chocolate covered strawberries to get us in our room!  Thank you,  Caroline!

Around the ship

The good news… after a month in Hawaii,  and weighing in fully dressed And after lunch, We both weigh within 3 lbs of our weight before traveling!   We have done quite well staying on our pre-trip diet! 

We sail away at 11 PM, so the view under the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge and by the Opera House is breathtaking
