Steampunk photo (Seattle)

Just starting to go though my camera and 

my many photos . 

Here is a steampunk photo I took of Neal 

when we were steam-less in Seattle.

Then we went up the space needle

We did make the most of having our

costumes and no festival to attend.

Home sweet home

E

We are now back home.

Had a fantastic five weeks away.

We did arrive back in Tasmania with way

Less luggage than we left Seattle with.

Qantas took most  of the passengers

Luggage off the plane in San Francisco.

Leaving us with only our hand luggage.

They did deliver our luggage late last night

36 hours later.
