Only 71 Days to Go!


We are so tired of the cold and wind that it is only the increasing amount of sun we are getting that is keeping us from going downright bonkers!

We are on the backstretch heading for the final corners before we reach the homestretch. Yes, I come from a long line of horse racing fans and I couldn't resist. We are, especially Allie, counting the days until we head for our great adventure.

We have, however, decided to modify our plans of what we will do in Australia. We had originally planned to establish a home base from which we would jaunt off and visit various places in Australia and then return to. After much thinking, we have decided to stay in the Byron Bay area for about 5 months and then pack up our things and become vagabonds within Australia.

Yup, we'll wend our way slowly through the continent, taking our time to go and see all the wonders of the country. We plan on camping mostly with occasional stays in hotels for serious comfort. This will cut down on our expenses and we'll be able to see the country at its own pace, not that of a typical tourist. Plus it will lead for far better chances of getting great photographs, so I'm happy.

As opposed to now, with the wind and cold!
