And they're off!

Tomorrow morning (weather and flight permitting), my parents are off on the trip of a lifetime... a trip chosen by my dad in celebration of his 70th birthday. They will fly to Los Angeles tomorrow and board a Cunard cruise ship on Saturday to set sail on a leg of Cunard's around the world cruise. Seriously!!

Their intinerary will take them to La Haina and Honolulu, Hawaii, across the International Dateline (where they will lose a day), to Samoa, the Bay of Isles, Auckland, Wellington, and, finally, Syndney, Australia. Once in Australia, they will spend almost another two weeks there. Dad is going to do a bridge climb on the Sydney Harbor Bridge!! On their flight back, they cross the International Dateline again and have a "do-over" on a day. Guess that makes up for the day they lose going.

It really is an amazing trip... as long as they can get out of here and to LA before the ship leaves on Saturday...
