I can easily count the number of times that I have seen blue sky and/or sun in 2013. They fit on one hand. Unfortunately the northern latitude (53.5° N) and the proximity to the Nord See join forces to create a persistent, stubborn grey sky with regular precipitation and hurricane-like winds. Last year was tough. This year I know what to expect. Spring won't come until May. And summer won't come until August. If we are lucky.

| Our trip plan!! |
I can't wait to leave this all behind and hop on a plane to another world! The plan is to fly into Sydney and spent 3 days: recovering from any jet-lag (that most definitely will affect us), spending time with Joaquin's friend from elementary school who requested that we bring him 4 packs of cigarettes (weird? yes, definitely. but apparently they are $20 a pack in Australia), and then fly up to Cairns. In Cairns we will rent a Camper Van and drive back down to Sydney with lots of stops along the way.

| Hoping we don't kill each other in this thing...(!) |
Which part might I be looking forward to the most you ask....4 days exploring the Whitsunday Islands...aka paradise!!! I can't wait. They will have to drag my kicking and screaming body off these white sands and out of these crystal clear waters. Its going to be amazzzingg!
