Hello My Faithful Readers!

I have arrived safely in Australia! My main impression so far is that it is much warmer, since we are in early fall now rather than early spring. I have now crossed the equator and entered the southern hemisphere! It is not too hot, though. I have managed to ride the perfect line of Spring/Fall weather. Gorgeous.

Well I have actually been in this internet cafe a while because I had mounds of email. I want to get back out and explore a bit. I'll write more later when I have seen more of the city.

Oh, one tip for the day - always fly north/south. You can travel for 13 hours and no jet lag! So if you live in California, like I do, I guess you will have to visit some random island in the South Pacific of the coast of S. America. Gotta be something in all that blue, right?
