Hello to all! It is about 5:30am in Australia! Someone in our hotel apparently thought that to get the operator you should dial room 180... not sure how that works! Anyway I am now up so I thought I would give you an update.
Easter Island: Easter Island was incredible. The Moai statues are beautiful. We were escorted through the island and introduced to the statues by the actual archeologists that excavated them.
Samoa: We were in Samoa for less than 24 hours but it was amazing. The people are extremely nice. We started with a buffet dinner and a traditional Fia Fia dance. Then the next morning we had a great breakfast of fresh fruit. Then we went to the final home of Robert Louis Stevenson. He was also laid to rest there however; it is a 45 minute hike up a mountain to his resting place and time didn't permit us to go. We left his home and went straight to the airport and flew to Australia.

Australia: We arrived last night. Had a wine tasting a delicious dinner. There was a special guest at our dinner as well! His picture is below. We are headed out today to the Great Barrier Reef.
