My Trip to Australia - March 2002
My Trip to Australia - March 2002 |
My trip to Australia was wonderful.
I have been back just a few hours and I already miss my new mates and the beautiful country...both welcomed me with open arms!
Even though I'm now physically far away, they have a special place in my heart and will always be near to me.
It truly was a home away from home and I know it's only a matter of time before I return.
But now it's time to share the tales of my travels with all of you as promised. I kept good notes and took a few hundred pictures. On this website I will give a day by day account of my trip with a picture or two from each day. If you have ANY questions about anything or would like more details, just ask. If any of my family or friends would like a complete CD with ALL(or most) of the photos, just let me know. I'm happy to share, but due to space limitations I'm just putting a handful of pictures on the web. To my Aussie mates, if I forgot anything(or included too much)...or, god forbid, if I got anything wrong...please let me know!
