Adventures from the Outback!

Hey Everyone! We are soooo sorry for not posting earlier. We have been really struggling with the Internet here in Australia. The Internet that we were suppose to have is not working so the alternative that we have found is going to the library once a week... not ideal, but it works!

We had an amazing time in Hawaii. Lots of beach time and lots of sun...and of coarse lots of shopping! Our last day there was quite interesting....we got up early for our snorkeling tour. Got picked up and are on our way to the boat only to find out that the boat got damaged in a storm so the tour was cancelled. We ended up finding another similar tour to go on, had a great day! At night we went to an expensive restaurant for dinner... it is a revolving restaurant that looks out over Waikiki. All is good, explained my allergy, etc. Dinner Came out, it definitely looked like something that was NOT Soy free. Sent it back to the chef to double check...I was assured that it was fine....it wasn't. Half hour later the reaction starts, so we call and ambulance, while waiting for the ambulance I took my epi pen. We were sitting in the hotel lobby waiting for the ambulance to come when the ceiling above us falls in on us. YEP, there was cement falling all around us. We were fine, just some cuts and scraps on out legs and feet. Luckily it did not hit either of our heads. So after the hospital, I of coarse immediately went to sleep. Sylvie was checking her email, and her mom had sent her an email saying that there was a water leak in our building and the roof fell in the closet and there was water all over. Apparently just a few of Sylvie's coats got ruined. SO anyways, that was by far the most interesting/worst day thus far and I hope nothing else comes close!

Everything is going well here in Australia. We have done lots of sight seeing things. The doctor we are working with took us out on his boat for the day and we say lots of dolphins. It was pretty amazing! The weather has been pretty good, the last couple of days have been a little cooler, but still bearable! We are heading to Fraser Island this weekend, for a "party weekend" so I am sure we will have lots of stories for you guys then!

Love you all!
