Well this sounds very interesting for sure. Please do not think/worry about the school year now. I know that is it easier to say but you are in a much better place with things to do, see, and enjoy. Great that you are spending much time with Antony and doing things together. Enjoying your blog and photos. Safe and happy travels. Lucille

beautiful pictures
I think I speak for all of your followers in saying we love you just the way you are old and decrepit with leper lip and all. As usual your commentary is full of excitement . Can't wait for more.

Sounds like an interesting trip with everything included. Sorry about your other cancelled boat trip but better for engine to have blown before trip than while you were on it. Enjoy Darwin, will be waiting for next entry. Have fun and safe travels Lucille

Nice!
Sounds like a lovely trip, all in all. Glad to hear you were a warrior on the ride.....cheers for the old guy! We're still sweating like pigs in these parts.....humidity is back again, after the briefest respite. Your plants are alive, though I must admit, a bit brown around the edges - I'm trying, really! Still no signs of painters - maybe they'll start when the heat abates. (my own painting has come to a standstill until it cools down some). Good news for Gia - she got a 5 (out of 5) on her AP English placement exam. Hopefully that'll count for one college English class out of the way :) Anyway, looking forward to the next installment of Adventures in Oz - stay well, stay safe xoxo:)

Too funny, Mike! I like the one with the ladies in the black outfits under the umbrellas. Good to see that neither you nor your brother has gone native to the point of wearing gym socks to the knees with sandals and your obligatory sun hats ... I hope you continue to enjoy your trip, and call out the difference between a druggy sexsweatball and a real professional as you see them!

what?
ok, sounds like a really fun time, but there was one line in your writing that stuck out for me: "....bearded chaps carrying kangaroo pups under the front of their shirts....." umm, is this a common sort of behavior in Oz? lol. i'm sure we've got our own array of oddball behaviors in these parts - but carrying an animal around, inside our shirts, isn't one of 'em! anyhoo, sounds like a good day - especially with all that girlie attention you guys got! take care, stay safe...miss ya!
