Joan will be leaving on March 21 for a Grand Circle Tour to Australia, New Zealand and Fiji along with one of her friends from college days at Macalester. Will she return speaking "strine" (the Australian colloquial language) and ask us "owyagoin'?" On the left is a veiw of the Sydney Harbor Bridge--affectionately known as the "coathanger."
We look forward to getting reports from her via email about what she is doing and what she is seeing. She has left her itinerary with us so that we can follow along and keep track on a daily basis (and be envious). Hopefully, we can remember the time/day difference. It sounds like a great trip.
She will be enjoying the views of Sydney Harbor and the Sydney Opera House and . . .
. . . some gorgeous sunsets in the harbor. She will be taking a water taxi at some point which should be beautiful.
the Gold Coast
and the flowers. Although it will be autumn, it might not be tulips that she'll see!
We hope to hear from her during the trip. We know she'll come back with many stories and we hope that she will stay healthy and not get "crook."
Bon Voyage! Have a great trip, Joan!
