Sydney, Rain Forest, Great Barrier Reef and Skyrail

Picked up the vouchers today.  We can offically hop on and off the Gray Line around Sydney, ride the catamaran to the Great Barrier Reef for a great day of snorkeling, diving and touring Green Island then off to see where fabulous rainforest meets the beach, a gorge and a village full of history, and best of all - return to our hotel via a bucket in the sky!!

I can't believe we leave in only 12 days!!

Camera parts found and packed - should I take the zoom or leave it at home??  Decisions decisions.  

The underwater camera, point and shoot camera and the digital SLR are tucked safely away in their padded cases along with chargers, extra batteries and extra cf/sd cards.

Found water shoes and goggles at Target - summer is almost here ya know...bought water shoes for the Green Island tour - didn't buy goggles - I have an old pair hanging on a closet door - who knows why - they are just there and now I need them so it is a good thing I didn't chunk 'em out.

Glad we are flying thru Dallas and not Chicago <-- they are about to be hit with 18 plus inches of snow!!  Wouldn't you know it - Dallas is expected to receive approx 3 inches of snow and ice this w/e just in time for the Super Bowl!! 

Global Warming - come back the second weekend in February!!  NO SNOW!!!

UGH now - to prepare myself to put on a SWIM SUIT in FEBRUARY!!!  The sun won't be only bright reason to wear shades!!

But first...I must prepare myself for that LONG plane ride to the under side of the world!! 

12 days....Did I mention we leave in 12 days....
