HAPPY CANADA DAY!

I spent the better part of the day today looking for an American to "moon" for fun but had no luck...actually, there weren't very many people around at all as we soaked up the sun on the beach at Cape Tribulation in Northeastern Australia.

We finally made it back on holidays again :-)

And we're thrilled to be Auntie and Uncle for a second time as Maureen's sister Shannon gave birth to a beautiful 8lb baby girl yesterday - Natalia Mariajke Lynne Duff. We look forward to meeting her in a couple of weeks when we fly home.........

.......speaking of flying - man, do they ever make you feel like second class citizens on Jetstar here in Aus if you buy the cheap tickets for their flights...

...those of us with the silver ticket were the last to board, had to walk outside and board the plane from the back (unlike the orange ticket people who get to use the tunnel and enter the front)...silver means "free-for-all" seating, so I had to gouge a few eyes to get an aisle seat...then they charge you for everything - even for a drink of water which comes in a communion size shot glass - it's nasty when you have to try and drink out of the tap in an airplane bathroom to satisfy your thirst (ok, so I actually didn't go quite that far)...they make you pay $4 for headset with the silver ticket..............anyway, enough wingeing (what they call whining here) - at least we get to fly home on the 18th with Cathay Pacific!

You must be tired of hearing from me....I'll make sure Mo writes a blog here in the next week or so unless we're out on a sailboat or snorkleing on the Great Barrier reef somewhere.
