Australia!



So...as some of you may know out there...December was busier than usual for me!  My day job took me on a once in a lifetime adventure...to the land down under.   From a business standpoint. Tons of work.  From a personal standpoint...one word INCREDIBLE.  Toughest part..leaving my peanut.  Best part...coming back.  oh and the gorgeous beaches, awesome sunny skies, tropical weather...and mines.  Mines?  Yup...mining by day...

Talk about jet lag.  It took about 5 hours from Milwaukee to L.A. and another 14 hours from L.A. to Brisbane, AU.  After landing in Brisbane, travel continued to Mackay, AU.  I was so lucky to meet a fellow employee’s family and they were wonderful!  Typically, business trips don’t include time for play, but landing on a Saturday to give us time to recover from the travel...our fantastic hosts...the Sorensen Family...showed off their incredible island.

I was to Whitehaven Beach, Roxborough Park, and WhitSunday Beach...one of the most famous beaches in the world.  Did I mention I was able to snorkel on the Great Barrier Reef?!!  Yup, I had to put on a “swimmer suit” covered from head to toe...and looked HOT..I don’t recall the last time I put spandex on..hopefully this Blog will communicate my sarcasm with HOT and Spandex in 1 sentence....there is no such thing people.  I kept hearing JAWS in my mind, thought a jellyfish was lying in wait, and swallowed a TON of salt water.  whew.

These are some amazing pix and some amazing people I met!

This is the longest BLOG entry for me EVER!!  But. it was a trip to Australia.
