We plan on traveling into Brisbane later today and watching fireworks from the Southbank. Tomorrow's plan is a wine tour. Friday's plan is a trip to Morton Island and Saturday we plan to leave for Sydney. Time always moves forward and at a pace that when you arrive in the future, it seems like no time at all has passed. It is an enigma if there ever was one. The past compresses into a fleeting thought and the future expands with a person's plans. I prefer to make plans.
Currently, we need another suitcase to make the trip home. Thank heaven I packed all my clothes in my backpack. I wore shorts and shirt every day, just like everyone else I met. Kevin and I went to the Brisbane casino yesterday. It is the place to go for air conditioning. It was wonderful. We lost a bit, but had some fun. I believe the casino, located in the center of the city, is another of those buildings that used to house prisoners. Now it houses, 3 bars, 500 slot machines and an assortment of roulette and blackjack tables. The games are all the same as Las Vegas.
Australians gamble just like Americans, pushing the money in with one hand and drinking a beer with the other. I learned that hats are not allowed in the gambling area because it hides your eyes from the video camera. I had to place my Royals hat in my pants.
