Hasta luego Mexico
Only tomorrow to go and then we are off home. It has been a great three weeks for me. And I think Lawrie has enjoyed his two weeks equally well.

More relaxing in Mexico
Not a lot to say, just spending days snorkeling, swimming, and suntanning. Well, that isn't exactly true! We went into Playa del Carmen again for a bit more shopping. We had dinner at 100% Natural...

Sydney, Australia (not Nova Scotia!)
While in transit to mainland Australia and our three final days 'down under', I noticed one final interesting sign here ... and I'm planning on a post about signs, so this is just a taste for now.
