off on a grand tour

#1 Post by earendel » Sat Mar 09, 2024 9:26 pm

Monday morning elwing and I are departing for the trip of a lifetime. We fly (in stages) from home to Los Angeles, to Honolulu, to Aukland, and to Brisbane, where we spend a couple days, then fly to Alice Springs and drive to Uluru and an opal mine. Then back to Brisbane for a day, then fly to Cairns for a boat excursion to the Great Barrier Reef. Then back to Brisbane again, where we embark on a cruise that takes us to Guam, Okinawa, four stops in Japan, three stops in Alaska, and finally docking in Seattle on May 1. Access to the internet will be spotty at best, so I will be unable to participate in the witty rejoinders and snappy repartee that is the Bored. Try to keep the place standing while I'm gone.

Sounds like a fantastic trip! Have fun.

Bon voyage!
