Hey Folks, well I am back... 'eh kinda.  I am actually still in Cairns and have hardly left this little town except for a brief trip to Port Douglas.  In fact, in the past five-or-so-days I have hardly left my hotel room.  Last, Thursday (the day of my presentation!!!), I came down with a pretty horrible fever and what I would later find out to be is a respiratory infection (thanks Cairns 24hour Medical Clinic).  I am now on loads of Panadol, antibiotics, and decongestants.  And yes, Mom, I am drinking lots of fluids.  I am starting to feel better but to be honest, I am just really ready to go home.  I fly back to Saudi-land tomorrow, hamdulilah.

Unfortunately this trip has turned out to be more of a sticky mess than something sweet and I am pretty bummed out about that.  A girl doesn't go to Australia everyday and I soooo had my hopes set on meeting up with Koalas, Kangaroos, and Wombats.  But, one good thing that has come from all of this sneezying-coughing-feverish stuff, is that I know there is at least one person out there that really cares about me.  Someone that was willing to give up his fun-in-the-sun vacation time to take me to the doctor, sit with me while I slept, and get me more medicine.  Thanks mi amor.

Thank you again to all of my guest bloggers!  It was a lot of fun having you, please visit again!
