you better run, you better take cover (part ii)

I am finally Stateside! Getting here was absolutely ridiculous: my flight got delayed for nearly four hours, I barely made my connecting flight, the lavatories were terrible1, and my luggage got delayed. I finally got my suitcases delivered around 1am last night. Now that I’m (somewhat) settled in my dorm, I’m going to post the rest of the Australia photos.

DAY V (12/29): Okay, I’m going to bite the firewalled bullet and finish posting the Australia photos. Clicking on the thumbnails will take you directly to the Flickr page.

These photos were taken at Green Island at the Great Barrier Reef! I was in a submarine when I took these photos, but I also got to do some snorkeling and underwater-walking. I saw some clownfish and immediately thought of Nemo, haha. I’ll post pictures of the actual island later, but it’s amazing how blue and clear the water is.

DAY IV (12/28): Sydney (SYD) to Cairns (CNS) One quirk of mine is that I usually scan safety manuals and in-flight reading materials as soon as I sit down at a plane. It was my first time flying with Qantas, so the safety guide below caught my eye:


One of these things is not like the other….

FURBIES. What! Do any other airlines have Furbies specifically drawn on their safety diagrams?1 If so, please enlighten!
