What have we been up to since we got home?

Hi, all,

If you'd like to read about what we've been up to since we got back home, take a look at the regular column I'm now writing for "The Examiner.com". We've put on another 3,000 miles, visiting New York, Boston, and Tennessee/North Carolina. Just click the link and follow along.

See you there!

Meanwhile, we've entered the contest to be the Tourism Ambassadors for Queensland, Australia, by composing and entering a song on video. The tune is "Waltzing Mathilda".

View the video here.

The lyrics are:

**************************************************

I'm Pete LaMaster, I love to travel while I Blog,
It's what I do - read my websites and see.
I drove across the States, blogging all of my dis-cover-ies
Now Bring me to Queensland and your spokesman I'll be.

I'll bring a fresh eye. Tourists will see why
Queensland is bonzer & there's lots to see:

All the fish, birds, and plant lifeKoala's, 'roo's and wallabies
If you want to Show-case your Queensland - pick me.

Hamilton Island, Sea and Blue Sky-land
Bushwalking, snorkelling, SCUBA - and Me!

Outback and hot tub, Great Reef and Great Grub
Queensland is bursting with great things to see

So just turn me loose and watch myDis-cov-er-y O-dyss-ey
If you want to Spot-light your Queensland - pick me!

Spoken:
Hi, I'm Pete LaMaster.
Travelling and Discovering and Blogging - is what I DO.Let me do it down-under - for YOU!

A few "extras" about us that didn't fit into the video:

Kathy and I retired recently and immediately hopped into the family van to explore the United States for 2 months. We drove 11,000 miles, visiting everything from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon, Disneyland to the Albuquerque Balloon Festival, Diners to Restaurants.

We took over 3000 photos and Blogged our whole trip while experiencing new places, new foods, and new people.

Check out our travels here on our blog.

I also write a regular column for "Examiner.com". Check it out at the link above.

Bottom line: We like to do things - and write about them.

With the 2 of us as a team, you get a computer geek engineer with an MIT Master's degree, a writer, a botanist, a teacher with Zoo experience, and 2 swimmers - and you even get an actor and model since I just finished 10 short films in the last 2 months.

We've been planning an exploration of Australia for over 10 years now and we're just busting ready to do the same kind of discovery of Queensland's Barrier Islands - that we did here in the States.

We're very real, just like the tourists you want to attract.

We're ready, and we've proven that we have the time, the interest, and the skills to be exactly the ambassadors you're looking for.

"Pick Me!" (and you get "us"!)
