    Sports bars in Aruba had the Jets game on when I had to go on my honeymoon over opening day 04. I dragged my new wife out to a sports bar called Champps, which is sort of a chain type sports bar. I dunno if they have chain type bars in Australia though.

    and Port Douglas is 10 times better than Cairns.
    make sure you dine at Nautalis.

    hey guys...just got back from australia. it turned out that i was in port douglas the whole time. it was absolutely beautiful, and everyone there is so nice, polite, and laid back. i LOVED being there and now i have major soft spot for australia.

    by the way...you guys are genius for not having pennies and rounding up to make it so the price of everything ends in either a 0 or a 5. and the plastic/paper money is amazing too. i also love how rice krispies are called rice bubbles!!

    i didn't catch either the pats or bears game, but i'm really happy that we split those games. of course a mistake free win over chicago would have been great, the pats win makes up for it to me. now we just gotta close out with a 5-1 record...not out of the question at all. if anything, we've shown we're ultra competative and can hang with the big boys.

    happy thanksgiving everyone!
