Definitely the trip of a lifetime.

How on Earth are you going to settle back into life at Kilcoy after all this.

The visit to the Naval Observatory this evening has been cancelled.
It's cloudy anyway.

I'm in the US primarily to attend SpacefestV in Tucson Arizona and then to take up NASA Goddard on their offer of a guided tour. The tour is a thank you for allowing them to use a couple of my photos in an exhibit.
It's been fantastic to finally meet all the friends I've made on FB over the years. All of them as space mad as myself.
