Joan: I was going to heat everything else up while you got the chips
Chris: I was going to watch you heat everything up when you got back from getting chips

Off to the tropics again

Posted on 28/12/2017 by Chris Clark

A short drive from the apartment to Brisbane airport and we’re off to the tropics again. This time it’s a flight to Cairns and then pick up a car for the hour drive up to Port Douglas for Christmas. Port Douglas is around the same latitude as Tahiti give or take so should be tropical conditions.
