Brisbane & the Gold Coast

Well, you can probably tell by the unimaginative title that this is Cindy writing again! Bill wore himself out posting so he's taking a little break out on the balcony, discussing sightseeing plans with the flat ones.

We flew from Cairns to Brisbane on the 24th, and for the first time this whole trip, rented a car to drive ourselves to our hotel in Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast. Bill didn't have any problems switching to right-hand drive, other than putting on the windshield wipers instead of the turn signal the first couple of times. He stayed on the correct side of the road, and that's the main thing!




Driving into Surfers Paradise

We are looking forward to getting together with Sue and Michael, a couple we met while we were on the Regal Princess, who live here. They have graciously volunteered to show us around the area, and we'll be hooking up with them this afternoon.

I love when I am reading each entry, I can figure out who wrote it! :) Your writing styles compliment each other! :) ... but I do think Dad must be either using spell check or using asking Mom to proof for him! :) MISS YOU GUYS!!!!! It was great hearing your voices today.
