The decision is made. Australia. Sept 19 to October 2, 2016! We'll be celebrating our 45th anniversary and Steve's seventieth birthday. We seriously considered touring both Australia and New Zealand, because NZ is so close and the likelihood of returning down under is pretty slim. It's just too much for this year.
We'll fly first to Los Angeles a few days early to see Colin and April. It will give us a break before the long twenty hour journey to Melbourne. After three days there, we fly to Alice Springs and Uluru, then fly to Cairns where we'll visit the Great Barrier Reef.
The final flight will be to Sydney where we'll spend the last few days. This is a dream come true for me cause Australia has fascinated me forever. So many natural wonders and unique species! Steve spent his R&R there while he was serving in Vietnam, but he never got beyond Sydney.
Mockingjay has eluded me completely this trip. Three times we've tried to get tickets without results. This morning we got up early to get to the 10:00 am showing and boom! Sold out again! The AMC Theater at 84th Street has reclining seats and every single one of them was full. We opted instead for the new James Bond thriller and it did not disappoint. Crazy woman loves action films, except for the car chases that give me vertigo.
We said goodbye to our sons tonight. It's been a wonderful week and I'm very grateful for all the time we had together.
