Going To Australia

[sav300]

When in Brisbane, do not drink XXXX beer, it will affect ya brain !

[eljefeoz]

Congratulations and Welcome.VB -IS the beer to drink

[Hickory]

Well the flight was 14 hours, but more time in the it then I care for.
It's hot and humid here, was snow on the ground when we left home,
85° here now.
My son's future father-in-law has been driving us around showing us the sights.
At my sons house in Chelmer now and will be going out to eat soon.

I'm not much of a beer drinker.

More later.

I found out that there is free internet in Cairns, and it only cost 75¢ a minute, and it is charged to your hotel bill.
Took a ferry to Green Island out in the Great Barrier Reef. Spent the day. If you want to throw away $750, you can spend the night there.
Weather was great, only a few sprinkles in the morning.

The oriental are rude and arrogant.
Be glad to get to a regular key board, the one on this kindle is a challenge.

So,,,,, where do I meet you to take posession of my blonde?
Brunette is my second choice.
But a redhead will get you bonus points!
Jeese, I love that accent.

Plant the seed to oust the brits and make it a free country that can own any type gun while there.

When folks are finished we may well need a place to retreat to.

Remember if we don't see pictures from Down under it did not happen

if it wasn't for the crappy gun laws I think I would move to Australia or New Zealand

[Wal']

Not withstanding our crappy gun laws, have to agree with you on living here in Oz......have you had a chance to check our gun laws yet, hilarious aint they.

And I hate to admit it being an Aussie.............you would love NZ & its gun laws, much the same you have at home

Just got home 6 hrs ago with 5 hrs sleep.
I'm up making coffee and breakfast for my redheaded spouse of 37 years.
Only, nowadays the red comes out of a bottle.

I hate to say this, because it may take away from my "harmless ol' man" image,
But they're we're a lot of redheads in Australia that made me wish I were 40 years younger.

Nahh, sounds "Shameless and Healthy" to me.

Welcome home!

This is the "cottage" that Ken and Trish let us stay at,
