On the ground

Not a lot to say at this point. We traveled through the night. I did not like LAX much, but Qantas themselves treated us pretty well, and despite some seemingly close calls we made all of our connections. We are now in Port Douglas, one hour outside of Cairns, staying at the Port Douglas Motel.

It is pretty warm, though it sounds like it is back home too. The country is very beautiful and the people friendly so far. We're not feeling jet lag so much, but are tired and sore from being cooped up in planes for so long.

We're just going to explore the town a little bit, and probably head to bed early. The start times for most of our activities are pretty early, so if we can get into the early to bed/early to rise habit it will be helpful.

Not very interesting, but we are safe, and halfway around the world.
