Oh yeah I saw penguins in the wild...

See the thing in the middle it is a fairy penguin coming home to feed the babies

Made it to Adelaide

I just got to my room in Adelaide and I'm very tired. I spent most of my week camping on Kangaroo Island. Here are a few pictures. Hope you enjoy. I will send more when I can. I hope everyone is doing well and having a good winter. And can someone remind me not to travel during peak season next time.

Kangaroo eating a tissue, they will eat anything

Kelly Hill Cave, the cave is actually dry. That was wierd.

Hot, Hot, Hot

What was I thinking coming to Australia during their summer. It's close to 95. It was mostly a museum day today with a quick stop in the Queen Victoria garden in the morning. Everything is lovely here except for the heat. Alden and Nigel are wonderful and are helping me plan my trip.

And now all I hope is that the heat wave goes away. I will send pictures soon. Stay cool everyone.

Cheers

Australia here I am

So I finally made it... I had little problems just forgot to get a visa to get into the country, had a 2 and 3 yr old in front of me for the trip across the water with their dad in my row, no bar to be found in the Sydney airport and the cabby not knowing where Alden's address was.

But I'm here with Alden listening to his webinar conference call and drinking a margarita. Will download pics later.

Cheers- it's friday time to party.

I'm leaving on a jet plane...

I don't know when I'll be back again.
Well actually I do, January 15 to go skiing in the wonderful mountains of Utah with some great friends (Sarah and Damon).


Bye Seattle for now I will see you after the rain... hopefully.
Run kid run... The troll is coming!!!

The Last Days in Seattle

Two days and counting and I finally managed to make my friend sit down and show me how to post. Now that I'm here, what do I say?

New Zealand here I come? Actually, wait, I'm going to Australia first. Australia here I come!

Alden, I take it my drink will be waiting? I expect to see it in your hand when I get to your place. I mean it. You'd better be at the door.

In the meantime, to keep you entertained I give you "Lion on the Couch".
