My father is my hero

Did you read his poem???!???? It's in the comment section of my last post. BRILLIANT!!!!!!
In other news: we are off to the zoo today, staying in the Sunshine Coast tonight and off to the beaches tomorrow. Surfers Paradise was alright....great surf but it rained the entire time. We ended up getting a room at the hostel since we couldn't stay in our van anywhere for free, except for a rest area that probably ended up getting flooded; it was raining a LOT.
Brisbane was nice, but the backpackers we stayed at (read: parked at) had the messiest kitchen in the world: no-one seemed to clean their pots or pans after having washed them!!! And we had trouble sleeping the first night because there was a huge party going on in the room directly above where we had parked. Last night was better, at least :)
We go on our Whitsundays boat in exactly one week!!!!! Please pray for good weather on feb 28, march 1 and 2 because it is supposed to rain the entire time we're heading up the coast. Summer weather, indeed!!!!! My tan is starting to fade, so mother nature better get her sweet butt in gear and bring the sunshine and warm weather to Airlie beach PDQ ;)
Ok we've been at macca's for long enough....time to finally show Ryan some kangaroos and wallabies!!!! Love to you all xoxoxo
