Day 35: It runs in the family


Not ready to go yet, but time for another plane ride over the Pacific and I shouldn't forget I'll fly over a great area of Australia.
My mum’s an Aussie and also loves her cuppa in the morning; the first woman surf life saver at Manly Beach in Sydney, 1940 something. At age 85 she still has an Australian passport even after living in New Zealand for 56 years. Her dad was a Sergeant Major with no son to boss about so my mum was it, an only child; she was taught competiveness...do they still teach that in schools?
