Hello everyone,

I am just completing a two week vacation from California,and heres my review.

The good: Byron is a beautiful place, and a great community. I came here looking for both a great wellness community, and great bodysurfing, and Byron didnt disappoint. The avisn wildlife, dark skies, and wild beaches are spectacular.

I rented a fat tire e-bike for my stsy here, and loved riding the bike trails around. The farmers market is a gem.

Shout outs to Social Remedy, a first class fitness facility, to Ghost Rider e-bike rentals, and to Saltwater Social Club, a great intimate bar and dance club.

The bad: getting in and out of here is a nightmare. Im having to leave a day early because there are no convenient transfer services to BNE when I want to go. Id have to leave very early and be stuck at the airport for 5 hours before a trans-Pacific flight. Service on QANTAS economy to and from.BNE sucks, abd they dont offer premium economy on thst flight. Immigration at BNE was the worst hassle I've ever experienced anywhere in the world.

The ugly: the weather. While the sunrises over the Pacfic were gorgeous, the rain and the wind ruined the surf conditions. I had one great day of bodysurfing here in two weeks. The surf is great when its on, but its not wortb the travel time or expense to get here when conditions are more reliable in other places that are easier to reach.

Eyeglasses

OK everyone. In another sign im well past 60, the eye doctor just gave me my first prescription for glasses. Ive had great vision all my life, and this is a new eorld for me. Who should I pick for an optometrist, and why? Eyeglass World, Warby Parker, a department store? Im totally clueless on this.
