I missed out on Black Water Rafting in Waitomo, New Zealand, because I was a sissy and didn't want to get in the freezing cold water. In Cairns I was not going to let cold water keep me from the fun this time.
After 3 days of cruising around during the ...

Walking off the plane in Cairns I'm reminded of vacations to the Bahamas.

-We went to see DJ A.M. play at Club 77 in King's Crossing- it was a pretty cool night spot- from the street you walked in the front door and went straight down a set of stairs into the club. All the girls dressed in 80's emo- I felt like ...
