Creator's Key Takeaways
I'm flying across to Oakland to board the Queen Mary 2 for a Trans Tasman crossing, which will take me to Sydney.
Even with that delay and cancellation, I'm now here at about 6:00 in the evening. Even with that, I'm still going to get there in just a fraction of the time as it were taken on the Grand Ocean Liners of Days Gone by.
Queen Mary 2 is just making her way into port. So I'm going to head down to the pier and see if I can find the ship.
