Sept. 15 - Brisbane

Annie and I just finished packing for our trip to Lamington National Park.  It will be a five day field trip with "limited" electricity, no phones and no internet.  Guess you won't be hearing from us for a while!  We have our sleeping bags, hiking shoes, warm clothes, rain gear and the kitchen sink all packed away into two day packs and a duffel bag.  We also have our cameras, and with any luck they will keep working for the week.

Yesterday we had a great day at the beach taking surfing lessons.  Annie instigated this, and I have to hand it to her - it was a great idea!  The teachers were very good, and had us up on the boards in no time.  They also managed to take some pictures, but unfortunately missed Annie on the board.  Here's what we have as proof that we went.  We figure we were about 3 times the average age of the group, and are proud of it!

After the class we are still smiling :>)

Note the fierce determination .........
