for all your kind comments, we thank you,
we are seniors and never been south of the hemisphere,
our time and schedule are flexible, but budget isn't as much, so mostly on economy,
we near SFO, but stop over at LAX is OK,
we like 7 days cruise and seek maximum interesting ports,
compare over $2200 RT SFO > SYD, we found SFO > HKG > SYD RT for much less,
with few days off at HKG,
are we missing something?
