Going To Australia
In about an hour I'll be on our way to the airport.
Will leave for Brisbane, Australia, should be there tomorrow
at this time not counting a 7 hour lay-over at LAX.
I have my guns and other valuables farmed out to 4 different people.
Have several people watching the house while were gone.
Will try to keep up my annoying post with my Kindle.
Reason for the trip down-under, son lives there and is getting married.

Congrats to him and you both!
Bring me back a blonde, please.
I came into this world kicking, screaming, and covered in someone elses blood. I plan to go out the same way.
I am extremely jealous, have always wanted to go to Australia... Especially after watching the movie "Quigley Down Under"
That sounds like a great trip. When I was over in Viet-Nam, you could take a R&R to Hawaii or Australia. I almost went to Australia but I eventually figured out that if I left Nam, I would probably not return so I stayed. I hope you have a great time over there.

Welcome & the best to your son & future daughter-in-law.
You should just miss the wet season, generally through November - April, and they've had a wet one this year.

G'day! Hope you enjoy your stay down here.
Sure hope you get the chance to have a look anound to, slip out into the country if you can.
Better yet take a drive across the joint. The only way to get the feel of size and vastness.
Also hope those "bannana benders" make yah feel welcome.
I know us "sand gropers" would
Watch Out! My uncle went to Australia and never returned. He said he was happy but his voice had changed. That's the only way you can tell for sure. After 30 years you'd never know he was from the US. Gotta be some sort of mind control!

Australia is a lot like Texas, except for the gun-laws madness. I blame that on the lingering British influence and the transplants.
Beautiful women, rugged men, wide open spaces, areas of beauty that will take your breath away and when an Australian befriends you, much the same as a Texan, you have a "mate" for life and through thick or thin.
Congrats to your son, and travel safe.

I managed to do a once in a lifetime Buff hunt in the NT outback last summer. There was lots of hunting and great folks! I want to go back again, now the Mrs. wants to go too.
You'll love it! Congrats to your son.
If Obummer is the answer, How stupid was the question?
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free. -----Ronald Reagan
I have always wanted to go Australia!! Enjoy!
One of the VERY few places that I'd leave the good ole USA to go see. Have a safe and enjoyable trip and congratulations on the addition to the family.
If it wasn't for there gun laws I would be in living Australia, went there on R&R one time and really liked it.
Congrats to your son and new daughter-in-law, may they live long and be happy.

If there is nothing in your life worth dying for than you are already dead.
I'm at LAX, with a 6Hr layover.
Let you all know when I get to Brisbane.
Probably another 18-20 hrs.
I'd like to see NZ, maybe next time.
