LOL No, don't think they are Dole's. They were just on the side of the road. They'll be gone by next week. People just drive up, cut them down and they are off! I have a banana tree in my yard, but no bananas yet. Had one that had a pod, but a strong wind blew it over :(

I keep saying I want to kayak there. I get crazy looks. Maybe I can jetski over. I'm sure they rent them for that too!

Just love your pictures. I sure could use some of that weather here though. It is June and feels more like April.

Come on over!

Thanks Loretta!
You know, I've been asked before if I had to do it over again, would I change anything. NOPE! I actually love my life. Sure, moving all the time and not really having a place to call mine isn't fun, but it's an experience, not for everyone, but I love it. (just not loving being on an island)

I wish it were THAT easy this time.
We get sort of free tickets.
Since we have done back to back "overseas" tours, we get what is called COTS Travel. It means, the Navy will pay for ALL of us to go back to Bill's Home of Record (Kansas), BUT...if we want, we can change the ticket to go where WE want to go. If there is a difference in price, we pay the difference. If the difference is less...we don't get the money. :(
So, in order for us to go, HE has to go too!
It's just trying to figure out HOW to get to where we want to go. Australia is a HUGE place and hubs can drive on the wrong side of the road, not a problem, but if we drove from north to south, it would take ALL of our vacation and we wouldn't be able to do/see anything.

I like him to drive so I can tell him when to stop so I can take pictures.

Thanks for the mini-tour Terri! Love looking at those blues & blue-greens, aaaaahhhh.....
When my sister & BIL go on vacation, Judy just says "Photo Op!!" & Walter knows to stop NOW! LOL

I usually have to yell STOOOOP!!!!
He doesn't like to stop. For me to get the pic of the bananas, I had to walk back about a couple blocks. He wouldn't back up or turn around. He's such a dweeb at times....
