KB Down Under

I haven't had time to sort through the 397 pictures I took this weekend at Australia Zoo and Noosa, so I am not going to mention any more about what I did right now ... that'll be in my next post.

The exciting news right now is that Val and I just booked our reservations for our mid-semester break adventure! We will be going to Sydney, Alice Springs, Uluru, Kings Canyon, and heaps of other fun and beautiful places. We will be using almost all of the break (22 September to 1 October) to do our travels. Here's the itinerary as it stands right now (click on the links to see photos of the places we will be seeing along the way) ...
