My vacation time here in this Down Under Dreamland is almost over. I have been, seen and done many things in my short time here, got lots of good memories and hopefully the Lost Aussie Lady will send my "Mom" Deb a few of the snaps we have taken!
My final uber cool Aussie experience was to 'take to the waves' and get"tubed"!
After much deliberation I decided that the usual mode of surfer transportation was going to be a TAD large for me. In stepped my friend CAM the cuttlefish, somewhat moribund but nevertheless happy and ready to help a small surfer in need!
Yayyyy...that's me! A couple of good lessons from a passing "grommet" and I was good to go!
I wonder if I can ride this thing all the way to HOLLAND?
I love Milo! Where did you pick up this cute buddy? :)

Hi Marie,
I have no idea how you taught Milo to surf so quickly, but then he is a fast little learner and absorbs everything he does. But I'm curious to know, wasn't he frightened of the cuttle fish? Even if he was a bit moribund. I understand they are violent little things, but then this information did come from Captain Jack Sparrow ;-O ha ha!
Welcome back to the US.
xoxo Cori

Hello Milo, You will have to fly for 36 hours....and finally a nice young man in a truck will deliver you at my home. And then there is the yet-lag, for we live here 12 hours earlier than in Australia so there IS some challenge in this new age for you: you travel time and you get younger !!!
I hope you are here in time to meet my daughter Laura who is leaving for Australia, yes, where you just left, very soon. On vacation over there you were, hey ? Over here, in the sea-climat Holland it will be "working" and "learning"...but we will do so together, so it will be fun too.
See you.

HAHAHAHHHAHAHhahhahahahahha! HA! Oh Marie, this is fantastic. So funny because they are such beautiful photos of a silly yellow bug! Genius in choosing your surf board. Magical in getting Milo to stand! In the water no less! I need to leave my blog party up for a few days, and then I will post a Milo teaser. Marie, you have set the bar quite high for the rest of Milo's world tour! Thank you so much for participating. **clapping of many hands**
