Hey I have been in the US almost three weeks. I had a few days in San Fransisco and then headed down to Santa Cruz. I loved it there and had surf lessons. Apparently i am a natural. I went to Salinas and visited the Steinbeck museum. I went to Monterey and stayed in Cannery row. I went to Carmel and Big sur and then got back to San Fran in time to see Taj Mahal in concert. It was amazing. I had a few crazy days in Las Vegas and saw the Grand Canyon and now I...

I went to Koranda on a steam train and visited a bird, koala, and butterfly park and got the skytrain down. It was fantastic. J...

Hey I\'ve been in Australia about a month now. I flew into Sydney where I stayed for 9 days and then I made my way up to Cairns via Fraser Island and the Whitsundays. I am staying with Jan and Marce in Cairns now which is fantastic. I am loving staying with friends and it is so nice to have my own room and be out of a hostel environment for a while. I have been off to Cape Tribulation, Port Douglas, Mossman Gorge and on a snorkel trip on the Great Barrier Re...
