If I'd wanted to visit a string of big cities I wouldn't have had to leave the country..we have them here.
Unfortunately we don't have NASA, or shuttle launches, we don't have cruises through the Bahamas, also the friends I wanted to visit live there not here. Astronaut Story Musgrave is getting too old to manage a visit to my home so I met him there instead.
I wanted to photograph wild Alligators, Raccoons and Squirells in the middle of suburbia, unfortunately I just couldn't seem to find any in Sydney so had to settle for a visit to Florida.
If anyone can point me to the Grand Canyon, the World Trade Centre site, the Statue of Liberty and Mount Rushmore here in Australia I'd be much appreciated, it would save me bothering to have to go back again in a few months
