I'm back and unfortunately I did get sick again.
Almost a repeat of last years episode. Gastro,
vomiting, rehydrating on the drip, USD$600 of
medical bills, constipation from the medication
to treat the gastro, then picked up some bug
that caused runny nose and coughing, (probably
from all those Poms and yanks bringing there
winter germs with them), but hey, the rest of the
trip was great.

Oh no Steve! That's a shocker! :swoon: Definately giving the idea of a cruise one day second thoughts.

Oh Steve, Sorry to hear that. Could you still pick up some coins?

Yeah,i saw a grab on the TV News about a Week ago,apparently one of the Melb. Law Firms are launching a class action against Carnival(?) as almost every Cruise has seen an outbreak of Norovirus.Whatever the facts the Cruise Lines are in damage control and it will take more than video of a few Indians walking around with antiseptic sprayers to gain Public confidence.

Hope you are Ok now.

I bought dinner at a hamburger joint on the night we reached Singapore.
It cost $19 and I received a $1 coin in change. You beauty, a 2017, just
what I needed. Slipped it in my pocket and that's the last I saw of it.
Must have fallen out somewhere. Cambodia and Vietnam don't use coins,
so none from there. Malaysia and Thailand use coins, but I didn't get a
single one. I had some $2 notes from Singapore left over at the end of the
cruise, so I asked the girl at Starbucks to change them to coins for me,
but all the coins I received I already had. Only other coin I came back
with was a 1983P U.S. quarter, which I already have as well.
