Orlando to San Fran

Top line: MCO-SFO, evening departure. These are rare for us.

Adventure is what you make it.

Our current two-week trip morphed to a three week trip recently.

In January Australia’s Sunshine Coast reminded me of Orlando and Cocoa Beach. It was Winter for us but Summer for Australia.

Now it’s our Summer and their Winter.

Perhaps we will feel like ‘Snowbirds’.

Perhaps it will be too short.

Perhaps it will be too long.

Perhaps it will be perfect.

Last line is our first flight, Brisbane to Sydney.

Having time and money to travel is humbling.

Factoring in the 15-hour time difference, left our apartment at 1:30pm Orlando time, Feb 11.

Estimating we will reach our front door around 9:30pm Feb 12.

A 32-hour one-way trip.

Three flights, each way.

Three weeks ‘down under’.

No place like home.

Waiting for 8:00 AM “rope drop”.
11-second video: Steve Erwin, Lookout Cafe, and three Kangaroos. Our last meal together. Incredible karma. Seeing Kangaroos in the wild. They graced your presence for 30 minutes.

Give them roots and give them wings.

Sage parental wisdom

We hugged our Son for the last time for the next six months. New territory for us.

He’s 15 time zones away.

He is in a safe community.

Which reminded me…

God bless Military families.

Returned to Glacier specifically to get this photo at the East tunnel.

i want and need a growth-mindset as much as my next breath.

Not until you are fed up with your mental history and your mental present will you be ready to burn the ships and move forward mentally, never looking back.

Australia Day 21, mind

Apple Watch at beach
5:26am at the South Pacific Ocean.
27-second video: Sunrise is 5:26 AM today.

The day is won in the morning. The morning is won the night before.

dad

Most mornings in Australia we walk together. This morning was a solo walk. Was awake at 4:00am, intentionally, to prep for an early drive to Brisbane airport in three days.
