Oh wow, he would have had a ball last night in Sydney then. This might sound weird, but it was riveting television, so I really wish I could have seen it in real life. I couldn't stop watching them trying to manouver around. The Queen Mary 2 entered at sunrise yesterday morning, and the QE2 arrived later in the day, then the Queen Mary 2 left for Hong Kong at about 11pm after all the fireworks... it was like New Year there last night. My father actually went to war on the original Queen Mary and other troops went on the original Queen Elizabeth. Just amazing liners. As the pics come in from last night I'm sure there will be plenty more. p.s. Queen Mary 2 is approx. 23 stories tall and dwarfed the QE2.
