Greetings and apologies to our legions of loyal followers for such sporadic updates of our travels Down Under. My laptop is having a heckuva a time holding wireless connections when we get them, and they can get pretty pricey (last place was $.50 a minute!). We should have brought a thumb drive to transfer pics from the laptop to whatever machines we get access to. Trust me, I have half a dozen posts with tons of pictures just trapped on the laptop! We arrived in Cairns (pronounced cans) this morning — beach town in the northeast with easy access to the Great Barrier Reef. It’s hot as advertised — above 30. Go ahead, do the conversion. I’ll wait. (30 x 9/5 + 32 = 86). We sail and snorkel at the Reef tomorrow and I’ll do my first scuba dive in 20 years. More soon! Maybe with pictures! Or…?
