Billabong
I have be watching for your blog and it did not disappoint. Thank you for sharing this fabulous experience with us. Last night Dad and I watch a PBS Nature show about Black Saturday, Feb 7, 2007 when there was a forest fire in the south of Australia that burned 1000s of acres . They showed the Wombats along with other animals that needed care and how cute the Wombat is. It was amazing how the forest has recovered. Daddy just came in and read your blog and said, "She is never coming back". Is Mr. Almborg still there? I love you tons, Mom

Intense Sunburn discussion
I agree with Marcus, there are too many rules. Like apply fifteen minutes before going in the sun, but let it dry before putting your clothes on, I mean really they want you to stand naked in the bathroom for fifteen minutes just waiting and then when you reapply theoretically wouldn't that have to be back in the shade as well? I know that on my honeymoon I had bought th 100SPF with helioplex and followed every single rule, including reapplying every 2 hours, and I still got burned to a crisp when I went snorkeling! Until they invent a SPF in pill form, I think I am resigned to life as a burnt beach bunny, because I really do love the sun.

Well thats one way to get a Tan
There seem to be alot of rules for suntan lotion. Apply to dry skin, not wet. Apply after coming out of the ocean. Reapply after 4hours.

Sunburn
I remember that sunburn all too well... Sorry B! Hopefully yours will sink in a little faster and you'll be brown in no time :)

wonderful
I am enjoying all that you are writing. Oh how I wish I could have gone with you. What a wonderful experience!!!!!!

Hey from Charleston
Loved reading about your visit to California! I am ready to go again. Tom and I went to San Francisco for a couple of nights before taking a cruise to Alaska through the Inside Passage. We spent one day in San Diego and loved it also! Tons to do! : ) We did not make it to the zoo. I would love to go to Santa Barbara! Hope you make it to Australia - LOOONNNG trip! Can't wait to hear about it all. You are a brave little one to take off on your own! You will learn so much about yourself! Hugs! Lea

apple bees! I'm so glad your having fun, if its meant to happen we shall meet I'm germany! Be safe B

sounds great!
Wow that sounds beautiful over there! I wish Marcus and I could have seen S.F. when we visited California a few years ago. I know it is pretty scenic in that area! Oh, and of course I am excited for you to have seen the Full House house haha. :) Glad to hear that you are having a good time! Take lots and lots of pics!!!

Enjoy!
Sounds like fun! Always best to take a tour rather than driving yourself.

Bon voyage! You are so lucky to be taking this trip - and brave! I wish you a very happy adventure.

First Post
In the tradition of Internet Commenting. FIRST! But in all seriousness, I wish my sister the best of luck in her trip. It is a big undertaking in not just doing but in all the little details that had to be planned or considered. Have fun but stay safe. If anything happened to you, I would feel guilty for convicting you to make your dream a reality.

FUN FUN FUN
I look forward to our week in California. I will miss you the instant I say goodbye in the LA airport. Love you tons!!! Mom
