The first day of April is finally upon us, and it is a gloriously sunny day here in the Austrian Alps.  The fields are covered in a sprinkling of wild and colourful flowers, the birds are singing, and we are just about to head off to the local Spring festival to try Austria’s newest wines, listen to some good old Austrian folk music and prepare for April in true Austrian style.

I love the spring, and now that April is upon us we have just five months to go until our amazing trip / cruise across the Pacific Ocean, and I really cannot wait!

Starting Las Vegas, we will enjoy the highlights of Sin City before a short flight to the beautiful Hawaiian islands where we will spend a few nights before jumping on the cruise ship.  I have never been to Hawaii so I am doubly excited about visiting somewhere new.

After joining our ship, we will head off into the magnificent Pacific Ocean on our 18-night voyage, taking in Papeete, Tahiti, Bora Bora, and the north and south islands of New Zealand before reaching our final port of call – Sydney Australia.

We will spend a couple of days enjoying Sydney before our flight back to London, and this magnificent journey will have taken us right round the globe. Sound good? Well, why not join us, and make 2012 the year in which you take your holiday of a lifetime!
