Hi Vicki,

Finally found my way back to this site as I lost my password.

Anyway, although we have not done much cave exploration other than a couple in South Dakota your suggestions sound right up our alley. We do love to hike and were planning a visit to the blue mountains.

I realize that Sydney to Cairns is a very long drive so I am thinking we will hangout for maybe a week in Sydney and do blue mountains and a few other places and then fly from Sydney to Cairns and rent the rv and meander our way back. Would love to see rainforest and of course the great barrier reef for snorkeling.

We have at least the 9th thru the 29th and depending on my husband's line bid for May we are hoping to add some days on at the beginning or end of the month.

Someone told me we not only need a passport but a visa is that true? Sure hope we have enough time to get that done. Guess I better get on it. Since my husband will not know until mid April what his line for May will be I am glad to hear that we most likely could find a room on short notice. I do want at least part of the trip with reservations in place including the RV so we know we have that.

I appreciate all your help.....Am so looking forward to this wonderful trip.
Thanks, Kathy
