An entry in the TFS Travel Journal
An early up for us since Milton, after a quick stop at the buffet of plenty, had to get over to the dive shop for his 1-hour lesson. The only difficult part was how cold the pool was. After finishing a short classroom briefing and some in-water […]

Just another day here in Whitsunday paradise. We lolled around in our lovely room, reading on the terrace, until heading off to breakfast in the late morning. Quite the copious buffet spread. We sampled most everything, then sat for a while enjoying the beach-front setting. […]

An entry in the TFS Travel Journal
We love those electric blankets (and thought of you, JD!), but not this mattress, which feels like a squishy waterbed. A lovely breakfast, then we waited a bit for Alister to come by in his pickup and pick us up. The three of us squeezed into the […]

We switched roles for a morning - Milton stayed in and made some phone calls while Wendy went into town to do some errands. We (with great sadness!) checked out of our Nugget Point apartment and headed, yet again, for Wanaka and The White House, though this morning […]
