This soul's earthly journey
Birth depart fly;
Passing settle.

In the USA

We are sitting in the Los Angeles CA airport.

Up for 20 hours. Home by midnight Maine time. We have daily NZ and Australia tales.

We are 1/3 mile from check in!

Nine days in NZ then eleven days in Australia and tomorrow we fly to the West Coast.

Three cities, two countries and adventures each day.

More cloud and cooler than expected

Melbourne has been hot during some January Australian Opens.

Not this year. Two mornings the roof was closed for the first match at 11AM. Sunny today however.

Great Ocean road

After five full days of tennis we rested Saturday.

Sunday was a 13 hour tour. We saw surf, ocean, and a rain forest.

Twelve hours of tennis!

We saw four matches in Rod Laver Arena. Also two more on court two.

Morning ( 11AM ) to now 11PM.

It is now 2016

The New Year starts out cold and ends similar. Travel through the months ahead is planned and not so much!

We are reasonably sure we will be around the next one hour. The next week, month or year is the exciting part.

Happy New Year!
