Couldn’t make main draw play at the Australian Open, but, we could make the qualifying rounds. YEAH! It’s basically the Grand Slam pre-tournament for players not ranked high enough to make it into the main draw automatically (just in case 2 of the 8 people who actually read this blog on an irregular basis don’t…
Great Ocean Road Tour Greatly Rushed
The one day, 13 hour bus tour is a necessary evil. You know you don’t have time for an overnight stay. And, you’d like to personally drive taking in the scenery at your own pace but, then, you ask yourself are you up to the challenge of driving on the other side of the road…
Mel-BIN
That is what I have to silently repeat to myself before I pronounce the city I am currently in so I can do so correctly. It’s kind of exhausting. But, so far, that has been the only exhausting part of Melbourne. We landed yesterday and as we followed our rather softspoken, dapper schoolteacher / artist…
Taste of Tasmania (aka Tassie)
We landed in Hobart, Tasmania around 2pm Wednesday and by the time we got to and settled in our bed and breakfast and briefly walked to and around the main waterfront area to get the lay of the land, we confronted the same “problem” I’ve encountered across the entire trip. Everything closes at 5pm. And…
You made us work for it Sydney but you delivered.
It rained, then it poured and we were marooned (purposely) on a grounded Ferry in Sydney Harbour (which we paid mightily for) with no alcohol allowed and no food for purchase for five hours but then you gave us 13 minutes of this/bliss. Happy New Year everyone! I wish you a kick arse 2019!
Thai Massage and VIP Lounges
CLICK BAIT-y subject line, I know! I have no shame. I am ready to work for any crack entertainment related publication creating misleading headlines that will have me. No, I have not had a Thai Massage or frequented a VIP Lounge, but, I would guess anyone who has frequented the Sidney Central area where Ed…
Off to Bondi Beach
Beach people we are not. Long sleeve Jean shirt – check : )
The Ed has landed (in Sydney)
First, an administrative note. I have been informed that all of a sudden the “comment option” has disappeared from my posts. That was not purposeful. I wouldn’t know how to do that even if I wanted to! Likely happened because I was posting a different way to try and troubleshoot the image attachment issue. ARGH….
Things that could go wrong on the Great Barrier Reef
1) It could storm and rain so much that when you try to snorkel OFF the back of the boat the rough, open waters continually slam you ONTO/INTO the back of the boat. 2) You could have to do your own eye exam (this one or this one? A or B?) while wading through a…
Experiencing technical difficulties, please standby
Doing some image attachment testing. My blog host sent out some kind of update and now I can’t upload any images to my posts. Tragic, I know. I am trying to troubleshoot from the super duper rainy Great Barrier Reef but not feeling confident. I shockingly did troubleshoot successfully after a different update several weeks…
