After connecting through Sydney, Australia, I’m on my way to Melbourne and spending a few days with Linda and Barb ~ lovely women I met on the Antarctica 🇦🇶 trip and part of our ship gang!

What next? My friend Michele suggested travel to all the oceans and seas. I may need to map out where I’ve been and where I still need to go! 💦

Happy Travels 💕
