Searching for eggs and eating candy was a big hit. The big bunny was scary.

Who is afraid of real retirement?

Posted on December 20, 2011 by Sandra

Answer: both of us are starting to freak out.
In the short term, I am not looking forward to a 14 hour flight, 6 hour layover in LA, and 4 hour fight to St. Louis.

See you all soon,
Love
The world travelers

4 days to go!!

Posted on December 17, 2011 by Sandra

We visited Sovereign Hill, a Silver Dollar City like park about the gold rush period. We both agree that it would be more fun with an 8 year old.

Best driver yet!

Posted on December 15, 2011 by Sandra

I am not the only crazy driver on this road!

Today I drove the Great Ocean Road. Howie freaked out about my slow, safe driving all day.

We finally saw koala bears in the wild.

The highlight was the 12 Apostles – limestone stacks off of the coast.

Second time’s the charm!

Posted on December 14, 2011 by Sandra

The airplane after being 30 minutes late taking off, made an aborted landing, pulled up at the last minute and circled around to try again.

I am glad that we only have 2 flights left, and only one is essential.
I could drive from LA at this point.

The mystery of ‘Who forgot the cord’

Posted on December 13, 2011 by Sandra

We almost got to Hobart when Howie realized that his computer cord was left at the last cabin.
We turned around, drove 1.5 hours back, got the cable, and then returned to Hobart.

I dumped Howie at the hotel and went to see Louisa’s walk, a live walking theatre about a female convict in Hobart.
