TnT's Adventures Down Under - Part III: The Great Barrier Reef

BubbleShare: Share photos - Halloween contest

Now that I found a photo sharing website, BubbleShare.com that will accomodate more than 20 pictures at a time, here are 63 pictures from Tony's camera. After bungy jumping, TnT scaled down the excitement with snorkling and scuba diving off the Great Barrier Reef!

The tour guide cautioned everyone to take something for sea sickness. Not TnT, they wanted to know if they had the problem or not! They ended up standing on the bow of the boat on the ride by to shore and loved every minute of it!!!

A Call From The Future...

When I got home Sunday night after cleaning the mares pens and feeding and watering all five horses, my mother told me that TnT would be calling back at 10pm...in half an hour! I will tell you later why I was over at the stables until such a late hour!! Well, at exactly 10pm, I received a call from Tony! It was 3pm on Monday in Cairns, Australia. They were calling to let me know that they FINALLY made it to Cairns. They were delayed a little bit by the computers going down at LAX, so that when they landed in Sydney, expecting a 2 hour layover, they went through customs and walked right onto the plane bound for Cairns. Phew...that was close!!! Tony said the weather was a bit warm but felt really good. They bought a phone card since they naturally had no cell phone service. Tony asked about the horses, dogs and puppies and said that they would call every other day to touch base. We still have a few details to square away before they move to Texas. I could hear the excitement in his voice and knew that he and Travis were having a great time just being in Australia!!! When we talked about the time difference he told me that I had just received a call from the future!

The photograph was taken on Saturday right before Travis and Tony left on the 3 hour drive to the airport in Los Angeles. From left to right: Honey the Pomeranian/Chihuahua "guard dog" (Dunny was too close to my dad), Travis, my mother Phyllis, my dad George, and Tony. Dunny is one of the pups from Katy's first litter by the Desert Stray and the little Chihuahua is Luke my brother's dog.
