Throw another shrimp on the barbie!

So it's official--we're spending July in Australia! We got a great deal on a fare with the illustrious China Eastern Airlines. Here's hoping we don't have an experience similar to the author of the book I'm reading:

"On our domestic airliner flying to the south of China [in 1986], we sat toward the front of the plane in big overstuffed armchairs and held our collective breath on take off, peering through gaps in the floorboards to see the tarmac racing below."

Yikes. Well, assuming we make it to Australia, we plan on a lot of diving, hiking, diving, wining, diving, and maybe even skiing. Here's the highlights of what we have planned.
