Well, well, well I am alive, yes very much so. Hi to everyone  I am here alive well and doing ok. I relocated from IL to TN (Memphis). I have had a few problems along the way like almost dying ( for real.. 911 the whole works and they duno whats wrong but anyway) Just some episodes we thought were allergic but really werent stopped breathing had to be stabbed with sword of death( what i call it anyway) but I am alive.. and man do I look at life a little differently now! Anyway I havent been able to get out to look for Wiis so when I do I will let people know hmm next on the list oh the little now big one! ( 3 months today and getting big!!)  FInally settled in and doing things how they should be done. things are going well and Ihope everyone is doing well. My request for help. I happen to be planning a secret mission and need help for those thatlive in AUS...anyone live near brisbane? I will be making an appearance.. no autographs though sorry sorry! ( just kidding!!) and I am wondering what there is to do? I have 1 day planned and I am trying to find a good place to go diving on the reef..any ideas? Jason |

Welcome back Jason  . I am so sorry you have been so ill. I hope you are well on the way to a full recovery now. But I can't get over how big and gorgeous our youngest Shacker is  . Those little hands look like they are just itching to open some packs |

Very happy to see and hear that you are ok!! My God Jason that must have been very scary!!  I know exactly what you mean by looking at life differently. I had a few near death situations both in and out of the Marine Corps and look at what is important and not in life these days. The little one looks great!! Take care of yourself my friend! |

Scary? wasnt scary for me as much as my mom and wife when they came in and I said.. im no feeling good and started to breath really slow and then i remember being in another room then out..after that i was in a ER. Hope everyone is doing well!! Where are those darn Aussies when you need them!!  |

Hi Jase, glad to hear you are back safe and sound! I've never been to Brissie, but I'll see if I can get in touch with an old flatmate who dives quite a bit... not 100% if he went to Queensland though (probably did  ) Your bub is adorable!  |

Hey Jase, hope you've found a bit more info about possible diving spots. My flatmate hasn't actually been diving in Queensland (yet!) so sorry I can't help you there. Also you can have a look here for some possible ideas: http://www.smh.com.au/travel/australia/surfing-diving/Fraser Island is apparently very nice, but quite touristy... if you like that kind of thing. Problem is, its a long way from Brissie, so you'd probably need a few days rather than you one  Hope it's helpful! PS. Hope you are feeling alot better and all is well with the bub |

One month left until I am off to aussy world!! So far I have a few things going on..We leave the 18th ( of july) get there on the 20th We visit tiger island on the 22, the zoo for some Bday part of some little girl  on the 24 then off to diving somewhere.. we leave back to the US on the 29th. Does anyone have any sugestions or anything to make sure we visit? I am really hoping to dive somewhere a few times. I am also very sad I will be so close to New Zealand and not able to go unelss anyone knows of a ferry!!! thanks everyone for the help! if you are in the area let me know  |

Not to make it worse...but Im discovering this week the NZ is absolutely amazing... Unfortunately no ferry between Aus and NZ...buts its a pretty short plane trip (only three hours from Melbourne; thats less than flying east to west across Aus) Anyway, good to see you round the forum! |

What a coincidence! A few of my friends have planned a trip up to Queensland between the 18-24th July! I was going to go with them but work commitments have come up what a pity as it would have coincided with your trip perfectly. Glad to hear you and your family are well Jas! Roz - 3 hours is peanuts when you're talking about flight time in Australia. You'd have to fly at least 6 hours to get to another country  PS. when Ed mentions "safe" he means watch out for the drop bears (sorry, Aussie in-joke) |

You'd have to fly at least 6 hours to get to another country Yeah, I was talking about this with a pal the other day... he says in Aus you get in a plane, travel for 3 hours and then you get out and not only do the people speak the same language but they also have the same accent . They say in some parts of the UK you can travel just 2 miles for a new accent |
