Hey Jena! I have been reading your blogs, although I haven't been able to comment because the thingie doesn't work right on my phone. I'm glad you're having a good time, but I am really excited that you're coming home soon! Don't we have plans? I think we do!
Mom
I just tried to call you and you left about 1/2 hour ago :-(. Oh well I will try you tomorrow at Coffs Harbour! I need to make sure I am at the airport to pick you up. You said you were coming home the day after Thanksgiving but that would be the 27th and your booking reservation says the 28th which is Saturday at 3:00 in the afternoon. Don't want to mess it up. LOL Love you lots!

You are getting braver miss Jena! I hope the trip is all you had hoped for, sounds like it has been. Can you believe it is almost over? So are you already planning your next adventure? Have a great rest of your trip....Happy Thanksgiving...and fly safe home Love you

Hey there sweetheart! Looked at some more of your pictures. Beautiful waterfall. Hope you had a good fligth to Cairns. Can't wait to here about all you are doing there. Brad said you would just fall in love with the town. Hope you get to enjoy the great barrier reef. From the sea or the air however you decide to do it. Hope you had fun "clubbing" and will talk to you in a day or two. Love Mom

Whats up? Really looks like your having as blast. Camel trail riding with Mabel sounds awsome. Although not as cool as Australia, KISS is playing at the Rose Garden on Tuesday. My boss has tickets and Im trying to get her to take me. We'll see how well that works out. hahaha. Anyways, hope the good times continue. Talk to you later.

Hi Jenna. This is Brad and I work with your Mom. I went to Australia back in 1995 and I see you are on your way to Cairns. I also see that you have some options to go rafting on the Tully River or scuba diving on the reef. Your Mom tells me you won't go scuba diving or snorkeling....sharks? I actually did both when I was there and although rafting on the Tully was great there are oppurtunitys like that right here in our own back yard. The reef on the other hand is a once in a lifetime experience...you just have to do it. The coral is absolutely beautiful and to travel that far and miss it is something you will live to regret. It is very unlikely that you will even see a shark during the day and even less likely they would come anywhere near you. I made 13 dives over a four day period and only saw sharks one time and it was on a night dive when they tend to be more active.....Have fun and you will fall in love with Cairns...it is great little town.
Mom
Hi honey hope you had a good day today. I tried to call you a little while ago but you are probably at dinner or just finishing up your day. I will call you tomorrow my time around 12:30 pm. Miss you and look forward to hearing about your adventures. All my love to you!
