D'Arcy Developments

We leave on Sunday for our big trip, and I'm still sick, but hoping that sticking my head in some tropical ocean will fix the last of this lurgi. D'Arcy is keen, except that he will miss Nippy, but he's looking forward to hunting for dinosaur fossils (?!?!) and seeing some cassowaries. He's not so keen on the thought of cyclones (wrong season) and freshwater crocodiles (we'll be careful). He's also excited about seeing our friend Davy and chasing some butterflies with him, not to mention swimming, and hanging out with the grandparents. Updates over the next 2 weeks will be infrequent (no internet access) but we will take lots of photos to put up when we get back, with lots of stories.

I haven't been this far north (Cairns) for 30 years, so I am looking forward to it. Any real-world friends can expect postcards if we get it together enough, though how together can you be lying on a beach eating pawpaws and custard apples? (Sorry, I'll stop rubbing it in now) We will be thinking of you all, and missing you terribly!
