Girls On Tour and sundry other adventures

My first trip outside of North America was in  1992 .   I sailed on what felt like a pirate ship, to a small island in Fiji for 3 days.  This was followed by a bus tour of the North & South islands of New Zealand. I decided to go on a horseback ride in Queenstown instead of bungee jumping, being the scaredy cat that I am. Unfortunately, "Sam" and I were not a match! I ended up falling off which led to a back injury, a broken finger and an overnight stay at a hospital.  The tour went on without me for a day but I joined them to climb a glacier, a catamaran boat trip and a genuine Maoro show.  The final leg of this trip was to Australia that included an overnight on a Barrier Reef island, Warner Bros. Movie World, riding a camel, climbing Ayers Rock, watching a sugar cane fire and Australia Zoo among many other fun adventures.
