Day 1 Down Under..

Sunday, August 2, 2009

We left for Australia Sunday evening.. The boys were excited to be on vacation.. As far as they were concerned, vacation started at the airport..  They treated themselves to some burger king..

We got in around midnight, took a taxi to the hotel, got checked in & settled.. We stayed @ the same hotel Jeff & I stayed at last time.. We loved the locale, the pool, & the beds, so we booked it again.. why mess with a good thing?? It didn't take Jeff long to get comfy & find his favorite spot..

Monday morning we decided to get up, head out & schedule our trip to the reef.. Nathan & I were pretty stoked..

We headed to the booking place Jeff & I had gone to before.. We really liked the people who had arranged our trip last time, & wanted to go through them again.. We booked our reef trip, & then just spent some time shooting the breeze w/ Daniel Collins.. He ended up giving us a free photo book of Cairns.. That makes him our Aussie friend, right?? 

We spent the rest of the day walking around Cairns.. We hit up the mall, did a little shopping, got some lunch at the fab food court, & kept on with the shopping for a bit.. Jeff found a great hat (as seen below), unfortunately there is little use for it in Guam..


We spent the rest of the afternoon poolside.. Nothing like relaxing by the pool.. 


For dinner we went back to a place near the hotel called "Outback Jack's".. its like a steak house chain in Aussie.. I had been craving their wagu burger and was SO stoked to have another.. They're huge! So big, they come on a platter..  it was DELISH!
