Tasmania, here we come!

We boarded the Spirit of Tasmania on Easter Sunday afternoon full of excitement for our first big holiday. The ship was quite large with bars, restaurants, theatres, live music, and a video game room. Our cabin was cozy but sufficient and the kids loved it. The sun was shining as we headed out to sea past the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. People were waving at us as we were in awe of the beauty of Sydney harbourfront. Then as we passed the heads of the protected harbour reality hit… giant waves!!! Within 30 minutes of leaving Sydney, we all felt seasick. Adam was the first to give in and ralphed on our cabin floor – although he made a quick recovery. Heidi got the worst of it while Charlee and Dave were able to keep it down. We weren’t sure if it was the seasickness or the stench of puke from other travelers that made us queasy. After a grueling 25 hour ride we arrived in Devonport, Tasmania.
