It's cold today and the winds blowing from the North bring threats of more winter weather coupled with snow, ice or cold wet rain this supper bowl Sunday. I think the best remedy for this type of winter forecast is a trip to a warmer clime. I travel soon to the land down under where temps are holding at 95 plus and the land promises lots of hot summer weather with loads of sun. I will meet up with traveling collaborators Kristin and Larry in Port Douglas for adventures in the Daintree area, Mossman Gorge and of course the Great Barrirer reef. K and L are already there and today will enjoy the great ocean drive and Melbourne area. The trip promises lots of adventure with friends, lots of new sites and sounds and most of all nice hot weather! After Australia, we go on to New Zealand, some know it as Middle Earth. THere we hope to see the sights, take a few treks, and hike on a couple of Glaciers. I look forward to learning more about the Maori culture and the land. Until then, Good aye Mate, teresa
