Whats Happening....

Kev and I leave January 4th to begin our amazing journey around the world! We will begin in Bangkok Thailaand where we will explore Bankok and then venture out and island hop, ride some elephants, lay with tigers, and ride some ziplines through the mountains! We have gotten some great recomednations from many of you, thanks so much for all your help.



After a lovely three weeks in Thailand, we continue on to Oz! We arrive in Sydney on January 25th...we have a working visa that is valid for 1 year so for now our plan is up in the air! We will find a job, place to live, learn the aussy way of life, travel, and of course learn to surf! If anyone is up for the long flight over we would love some visitors!

Cairns....Great Barrier Reef, Rain Forest, and trying to stay dry, No worries!

Sunday March 18th we woke up at 3 am and headed to the Brisbane airport for our flight to Cairns. We arrived in Cairns around 10 am to the pouring rain. Apparently some of the streets have became rivers and lakes, AWESOME!

After settling into our hotel we ventured off downtown for some lunch. We found a great spot right on the pier. After stuffing out belly's and a few cocktails the boys and I headed back for a 2 hour power nap before heading to the Casino.

On Monday we headed off to the Great Barrier Reef. It was a bit wet and some of the main roads were closed down so we had to take a longer route to get there. We had a rocky ride out to the reef but once we were there, Kev and I scuba dived and the others snorkeled. It was lots of fun!

Tuesday (Birthday celebration for Tommy and I!!) our rainforest excursion got canceled due to the rain, so instead we went to an Irish Pub ALL DAY and drank! Perfect way to celebrate our birthday. Followed by a delicious dinner!

Wednesday (still our Birthday in the States!!) we headed off into the Rainforest. Got to see some waterfalls, swim in some gorgeous water, and actually see some sun! That night we had a great Birthday Dinner at a Seafood and Steak house. The food was amazing, delicious wine, and a birthday chocolate pudding with ice cream yummy!!! This was our last night with everyone, great night to end the trip!

Here are picks enjoy!

Fun times, lots of laughs and memories...with some great people!

Our visitors have left after a great 2 weeks. The Gordon family arrived in Surfers Paradise Monday night the 12th and the fun didnt stop until Wednesday night the 21st. Finally we had some guests to use our guest room, Connor Shaun and Tommy. The first few days we hung around here, went to the beach, did some surfing, shopping, eating, and drinking! Explored out to Marina Mirage, Brisbane, and showed them Byron Bay. Our last night here was St. Patricks Day which was great here, lots of irish pubs!
