Cairns and the flight

Howdy All. Well we are finally in Pohnpei Micronesia. I'll be putting a few posts up today to get you up to speed with what we have been doing. Needless to say we have been very busy unpacking and getting familiar with our new surroundings. The boxes are all unpacked and after we put a few more nails in the walls for some pictures we are pretty much fully moved in. We are enjoying it and have found our compound neighbours to be very friendly and accommodating. The local community is easy to get involved in with expats and locals being extremely friendly.

This post. We stopped over in Cairns for four days after leaving WA and caught up with our good friends the Quirkes. We had a day up at Kuranda, watched the news years fire works from our hotel balcony and just generally relaxed. The flight to Pohnpei left Cairns at one-thirty in the morning so it was off to the airport at about ten-thirty. As you can imagine the kids were pretty tired by the time we go to Pohnpei at twelve the next day (after a couple of hours at the Guam airport).
