Cairnes to Melbourne

(Note the changes due to the possibility of Cyclone Jasper hitting the area of Queensland right about the time we might have been there. Glad we went to the Great Barrier Reef yesterday. Met some people this morning who had scheduled their trip for tomorrow – which is now so not happening.)

On the map (which came from Windstar back sometime in Aug/Sept and never updated. From the map to our previous schedule to the new one ….a few changes)

(it is now about 0900 in the morning here in Cairns. – we sailed in prior to 0700

The sea was calm but overcast enough that it wasn’t worth taking a picture of the sunrise.

And, for those who are curious – I have picked up TapDancer (LongDog) and making decent progress – now at 34%

 

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
