Where to take visitors?

We're so excited to have a visit from the Swatek's in 72 hours! Our great friends Lynn and Jerry booked their free flights using frequent flier miles in early August just after we got here. They'll be here November 5th through the 13th and we can't wait to show them around. Thanks to Aldi, Alan and I will head home on the same flight as they do. We've been looking forward to their visit for months and have used many of Brad's days off to scout out the best places to take them. We think it will be interesting to hear their first impressions of Australia as we've been here just long enough for things to seem routine to us. Surely they'll have sticker shock though we've gotten accustomed to the high prices by now. Driving on the other side of the road no longer seems death defying. It will be entertaining to witness someone else's culture shock.

Our favorite day so far has been a drive through Royal National Park down the Grand Pacific Drive. We stopped at a scenic overlook to do a little bushwalking. Then stumbled upon an incredible beach that we had all to ourselves. Having grown up in the Midwest, we're easily impressed by a sandy beach and crashing waves of the ocean. Hope they love it as much as we do. This could make or break our future as tour guides.
