Bye PD!

PORT DOUGLAS- - Today is my last full day in Port Douglas and it's hard to push aside the feelings of melancholy. I don't want to leave.

It's not just the weather, which is perfect for me: mid to upper 80s F with bright blue sunny skies and a light ocean breeze.

It's not just the atmosphere: relaxed and friendly; five minutes' conversation at a craft fare turns easily into exchanged emails and recipes from moms.

It's not just my hosts: Christel and Wolfgang have included me in their circle of friends, sharing birthday champagne and balloons plus dinner with a small, but fun group of Germans and Aussies.

I'm not sure what it is, but I'll miss it.
