An Update - December 2017

For LL


I think it is time for a brief update on my recent activities.

As you are probably aware, back in October we flew from New England to LA and spent a few days there before travelling to Oahu and our place in the north of the Island. From there a scheduled flight, leaving our Gulfstream in Hawaii, to Brisbane, Australia and our month long vacation. Now we are back in Florida in West Palm Beach, via San Francisco, for Christmas. We thought we would spend it here rather than in Naples, Fl. I guess you are spending yours in much colder climes.

During our stay in Oz we ventured into the bush renting a place, down in New South Wales from which to explore. It was fun, apart from mosquitoes, although I seemed to be immune from the critters. I'm the one who leads the exciting life, LL. The one you used to think would be boring. It has been anything but that. The past eleven years have been some of the most exciting and rewarding ones in my life.

Red bellied snakes (venomous) along with carpet pythons were around and we heard reports of an Eastern Brown Snake (very venomous) being spotted along a pathway. Probably not your scene LL, but it added a certain something to our ventures into the bush and rain-forest. Plenty of kangaroos and wallabies around in the paddock like areas. In fact I took take an early morning walks just to watch them and all the multi colored birds - Parakeets, Galahs, Cockatoos etc - while Ash was showering.

Rather than write loads I'll let some photos do the 'talking'. they are holiday snaps not my professional work. See below....
























We also went scuba diving and here are some shots from that adventure - living life to the full:













I have one final point in this brief update LL, not that it is of particular interest to you of course. In the end we decided to keep or lovely home in San Diego rather than sell and purchase in Santa Barbara. It has turned out to be a wise decision, given the wild fires that have encircled that town. I always seem to land on my feet don't I😊

Ciao
tutto bene
