Still trying to catch up with the last few days of our blog. We are back and we are glad to see our family, friends and pets but, it is hard to come back to South Florida. It was very different where we were. We went back to the Daintree Rain Forest and went to a beach where the rain forest and Great Barrier Reef actually meet in the closest spot. It was low tide and we could see the exposed reef and walked on the coral rocks. The combination of a tropical rai...

G'Day Mates! So sorry for the delays...the internet situation has been too slow to download photos. We have arrived back in the United States tonight. It took us 32 hours to get home and the majority of it was spent in LA waiting for flight and then of course at the MIA airport, we had to wait an hour and a half for baggage, then 30 minutes more in the parking garage to get out, then an extra 30 minutes of construction work on I-95 to get home! Culture Shock! S...

Sorry for delay, we have had the slowest internet service! After this we still have a few days to catch up on. This past Friday, July 9, 2010 was an incredible experience!

We went out to snorkel and I was crying in my mask! I had a Zen like moment just felt like I was in ...

Hi, Today we had another beautiful day! We did what is known as the Waterfall Circuit.

Our first stop in the morning was in a town named Mareeba. The shop serves locally grown coffee and has a cute gift shop. We then stopped in a town named Yungaburra and had a delicious lunch and had a hard time ...

Yesterday we left Mission Beach and drove our last journey through Queensland to reach the Northern area of the Great Barrier Reef. We are spending the last segment of our trip in Trinity Beach, outside of Cairns. We drove through the rain to a cute little town named Babinda. It looked fake, like it should be in Disneyworld! It looked like there was going to be a shootout in the street at any moment, It reminded me of a old western movie! It is a tiny little to...
