I AM HERE!!!

Hey All,

I made it.

It's hot.

I'm sweaty.

And I am tired.

But I am here.

Flights were great. Found out that there were a lot of North Dakotans coming to tour....what were the chances of that. Also found it odd that the majority of the people on the flight were in their 50's and 60's.

Andrew Carlson picked me up from the airport around 9 am and brought me up to Maroochydore and showed me around a little bit. Checked into a backpackers (hostel). Roomed with 3 random people, so we will see what the night will bring.

Just taking the afternoon to see the area and take a nap. Took the opportunity to wander down to the beach. Absolutely spectacular!!!

Andrew is stopping by later tonight for coffee and hangout. Been a great blessing to have him here to ask questions and show me around.

Overall a pretty great first day.

Tomorrow we check out at 10 am and will be picked up and brought to our respective houses. Tomorrow night we will all meet and have a get-to-know-you supper.

That's all for now.

Zach J.

P.S. As I type this, I have the various tenants of the backerpacker drinking and smoking at the table with me creating conversation. It's an adventure.
