ALLO! Bon récemment, le site a eu des difficultés techniques et on ne pouvais plus y accéder, c’est pour cela que vous n’avez pas eu de nos nouvelles depuis longtemps. Alors ! Commençons ! OUI ! Marie a eu la job dans l’Aristocat en tant que Hostess. De ce fait, elle travaille 6 jours par semaine de 7h15 le matin à 17h30 ! Ce sont des bonnes journées, surtout quand ses coéquipiers ne font pas leur travail !!! Mais elle aime bien ça, et elle peut quelquefois aller faire du snorkelling dans la grande barrière de corail et aller plonger gratuitement dans ses jours de congé ! :D De plus elle rencontre du monde et se fais des amis locaux, ce qui est bien et plaisant ! Le seul problème c’est qu’avec seulement un jour de ... read more

In an attempt to do the Aussie traveller thing and chase the sunshine I have just got back form a 2 week holiday. To say it had ups and downs would be a slight understatement.

Geo: -17.9451, 145.67Port Douglas, Queensland, AUSTRALIA 7th - 15th June 2007 Arrived in Sydney at lunch time and had a 5 hour layover which was fine as we had to collect the bags to put them through security for the domestic flight to Cairns, so there was time to look in book shops and eat and drink latte's and read (trachy magazines in my case). Qantas flight (service better in International) to Cairns after no sleep for 30 hours would've been better without a load of American spring breakers majoring in loudness but the movie was 'Picture Perfect' ??? which was grand (E Norton, N Watts). Finally got to Cairns at 11pm and my sister had arranged a limo to come get us for the hour long drive to Port Douglas which seemed to take forever. ... read more
