A quickie--most of this is on my wall at facebook.
I had a great week on Kangaroo Island, and touring the wine country southwest of Adelaide. Got to Melbourne Tuesday evening the 31st, moved to the hotel the first and Thursday morning was asked to fly to Florida by my mom and sister because my dad's health was failing fast.
I flew back Friday morning, passing through Auckland, LA, Philadelphia, and arriving in Florida Saturday 1pm. My sister and brother in law took me to the nursing home where my dad was still alert, conscious and could obviously recognize me. My uncle (from NJ) and cousin were there too. From Sunday on his condition has been deteriorating and we're just waiting for the end. I'm glad that I made it back in time to say goodbye.
