...The Trip Back
So for completeness sake, I suppose I should write a quick note about my trip home. (Mind you I’m writing this Tuesday, and I was traveling Sunday and Monday). Similar to my trip to Australia, the return trip from Australia was also plagued with problems.
To start with, let me give kudos to Expedia.com. They were great, they sent me an e-mail on Saturday stating that “significant...
The Coolest Thing I Did in Australia
This was really a highlight, Paradise Country has a section of the farm where visitors can have their photos taken with a live koala. The koala’s seemed used to the idea of strangers holding them for a minute and a half.

Hopefully they have everything straightened out at the hotel and I will be able to put some more up tonight.

Most of the day was spent in conference rooms and offices, so it wasn’t a really exciting day. When I arrived back at the hotel, it was about 6:30PM…well at 5:00 it’s dark outside. I had dinner at the hotel’s restaurant and now I’m back in my room...
Travel -- Not So Fun
Well I have arrived in Australia…I had my doubts if I would make it or not. The trip from Orlando to LA was uneventful. However, due to maintenance issues, my fellow passengers and I stood in the Qantas ticket queue for approximately five hours. Finally the airline made the decision to give us hotel vouchers for the night, so I had an unexpected stay over at the Raddison Hotel LAX…at...

"The Office" on NBC →
For my first posting, I had to link to the best show on TV…”The Office” on NBC. It’s great, Jon got me hooked…plus I have a cool Dwight bobblehead.
