Like I mentioned this trip is for my guitar playing son. For myself I might consider a few weeks on a sailboat plying the waters of Northern Australia ramping up my meager sailing skills and learning from the pros-now that sounds like my kind of fun. Mrs. Northbeach says I can leave her at the hotel by the beach while I go get tossed around on the high sea.
So much to do................
