Just over 26 years ago, I was blessed w/ a very healthy 10lb. 10oz. (almost 5kg.) red haired boy. Little did I know what lay ahead in my life as I was still young myself? The years went by quickly as I chose to raise him on my own.

A special relationship formed from this and gets stronger as time passes on. Now after being in Australia for 1.5 years and not being w/him for almost 2 years, he would arrive at Brisbane airport in two days for 2 weeks w/the Old man.

What would we do?

First, we would get him back in the ocean and re-establish his Love for surfing. (He has been in Wisconsin the last couple of years).

Then maybe go to Sydney to see the sights, etc. However, winter was moving in so we would have to keep an eye on all that.

To make a long story short, we dived the Great Barrier Reef, hiked through beautiful rainforest, skipped Sydney (piss cold and rainy) and just hung out on the coast.

Oh yeah, we got in the pool and worked on his swim technique.

The next to last day he was here, we went surfing at Wategos beach, and got some great pics of our dolphin brothers showing us what life is all about.
