Between our visitors and a recent trip to Cairns, Australia, I’ve had no time to update my blog. We departed for Australia last Sunday evening and got back at 6:00 am yesterday. I kept having to pinch myself the entire time because I thought Australia was always too far away for me to visit but now it’s only a 4 hour flight from Guam!
We got a great package deal through Continental Airlines but, unfortunately, my hotel choice(The Outrigger) wasn’t available. We ended up at the All Seasons Sunshine Tower which was basic, clean and only a 15 minute walk into the center of Cairns so it worked out fine. Next time, we’ll book earlier.
Part of the reason for the great rate on the package was the flight times. We didn’t arrive in Cairns until 1:00 a.m. and we departed at 1:30 a.m. Even though the flight was only 4 hours, it made for some late and tiring nights. As usual, FG was a trooper and fell asleep with her head on my lap. FM fell asleep before the flights even took off leaving me to stay awake the whole time.
More on Cairns tomorrow…
