Hello from Airlie Beach...We have been here for 2 nights now and have
yet again succeeded to do nothing!  We went to the lagoon yesterday in
the middle of the town....It was a swimming pool in the center of town
right next to the beach.  This may sound weird to have a pool by the
beach but, you really can't risk swimming in the ocean atound this
area because there are lots of jelly fish and stingers.  There has
already been 6 incidents in the last 2 days.  It has been avg. 33 degrees
here for the most part, if not more. It is nice...very nice. I do however,
feel like it is not Christmas time because the closest thing to snow is
the beaches on the Whitsunday Islands that we are going to tomorrow.
We leave at 8:20 am to go onto a boat that will take us to 2 of the 74
Whitsunday Islands. These are supposed to be sooooo pretty. White
sand and beautiful. Then we get a buffet on the boat that has all sorts
of good stuff like seafood and sandwiches and.... I dunno what else,
stop harrassing me!  LOL  I am thinking of coming back here to work
for a year...for those of you who didn't hear that already. I would of
course have to work first to pay off my debt that I may have aquired
since I have been here!  There are so many geckos here they are just
everywhere, I saw one eat a beatle half the size of itself...I don't know
how they do it.  Then this morning at 5 am when we were sitting outside
because we thought it was 8am, there was a wallaby passing through
the side of our hostel.  Wallabies are mini Roo's and they are soooo cute.
We will be going to Townsville on Friday, your Thursday, and have no
idea what we are going to do there. The internet is getting more expensive
as we move up the coast. It was $3hour and now we are paying $2 for 20mins!
So I will be sending less, in case you haven't noticed.  I hope everyone has
had fun xmas shopping...I hate that!  I will miss being with the family for
xmas, but if I do okay then maybe I will skip it every year...LOL just kidding
I will have to come home for xmas if I am living here!  Everybody take care
and I will keep you posted every now and again.  I hope to hear from you
all soon.  Good luck!  Have fun with the snow and I hope I have a snowman
on my front lawn by the time I get home...Rob! Mom: Tell Gizmo I miss him
and I wish he could talk...cuz I would call him.  LOL
Love you all
Amber
