Next stop: Airlie Beach - a gateway to the Whitsunday Islands (there are 74 of them)!!
For the kids on wheels :) It doesn't take much to make this world a better place, does it?
Airlie Beach, under construction
Australians have many of these sea/ocean-side pools
Time to visit the Whitsundays!! I chose an overnight trip aboard Wings 3, a 15.17m catamaran
Good night, sun
Hello BBQ!
Fancy a cuppa?
BRAD PAISLEY sans cowboy hat? Or just another hot italian stud..?
You decide ;)
My advice:Wear a white cowboy hat when you visit the USA...
Dinnertime
Talking while driving... tsk tsk
Learning about the Whitsundays and looking over our goofy pictures
The Whitsundays!!
My view in the morning...
Press "PLAY" to see why it was hard to continue sleeping!
Some people bike cross-country, some kayak!
Whitehaven Beach at high tide
Hmm??
hmm??
My frisbee/hat :) all the way from Tennessee
NACHOS! Australian-style... fine with me, just leave the Vegemite out
Sunrise...
We are ready for you
Moonset to the left, Sunrise to the right
Fish eggs, anyone?
This was meant to be a dive trip but conditions were not great (vis = 2-3m), so I stuck to snorkeling. Until now, I did not know you could HEAR fish eating!!
Parrot fish
Hot tub on board! they couldnt get me out of it. Even when it wasn't filled
It was VERY choppy, perfect for 'wave riding' at the front of the cat!
FOOM!
Wings 3
Ready, set...
Go!
BIG ol' turtle! :)
Mister, you were worth waking up at 5:30am for!
THANKS WINGS for a great trip!! I highly recommend you!
Thanks for the after party, too ;)
Traveling presents special miracles ALL THE TIME.
One of them - an unexpected reunion with my old friend Kat, who I knew years ago from our time in Paihia! AND THEN the both of us unexpectedly running into a favorite muso of ours, Dan Pinkney (also from Paihia!)
They mis-spelled his name
They picked us up from Paihia, and years later, plopped us down in Airlie Beach.
Life is so funny..
