Return to the U.S.


Upon returning to the U.S. and being confronted with all the mundane tasks of assembling a "life" again...like purchasing a car, finding an apartment, getting a cellular phone, hooking up the utilities - electric, gas, cable, phone, internet etc., removing all my belongings from storage, unpacking etc.,....my initial reaction was to kept on traveling. I should have planned a two year trip. With my life on hold and my belongings in storage, I felt like I should have taken advantage of it. Oh well, I can always traveling in the future. Next time, I’d probably sub-let my apartment, however. Schlepping belongings in and out of storage was lot of work.

Group Photo - Scuba Diving – Great Barrier Reef, Australia


During the 3 day and 4 nights scuba diving excursion, I completed 12 dives. The dive excursion easily ranks within my top ten activities of my trip. The group was excellent. The diving was excellent. The boat staff was excellent. The food was excellent. I've posted a few underwater pics. I also have a DVD of the trip's highlights, but the blogsite doesn't have the ability to handle videos.
