7! And Scrambling For a Solution

I have now had a meal on all 7 continents!

If you count a pint as a meal. Which is pretty dang dodgy but seems apropros for Australia. The kitchen was closed and my stomach doesn't think it's dinnertime anyway.

Merry Holidays!!

In all honesty, I'm having a challenging day: there is a category 2 cyclone hitting my next destination right now so I am scrambling to salvage a very broken itinerary and realizing how vital it is to read fine print on travel insurance. So... Do I pay a few hundred $$ to buy a new ticket to fly into a hurricane to go on a dive trip? Or take a much larger $$ hit by not attending the not (yet?) canceled boat trip? And make an alternate plan?

Let's just set aside for a moment the reality that I am working hard to find a way to go to an area that is presently facing evacuation. Seems safe, right?

Persistent? Stubborn?
I guess I'll know in retrospect.

Adventure can be a fickle companion.

At least I'm enjoying an xmas celebratory light show in a bustling square with warm weather and happy people in Australia.

It sure could be worse!

I'm tired, hungry,
And my itinerary is fucked.

Seems perfect. Travel ain't always easy.
