Cairns

I love Cairns! I wasn't really there for a holiday this time around though... The 6th annual aesthetic dentistry symposium (sponsored by Ivoclar) was on. We arrived just before the first conference began and left immediately following the last lecture! I went to Cairns in March 2011 and did touristy stuff then... perhaps I should make a post about that too! Anyhow, I enjoyed Cairns with early morning walks before the conferences began, and dining out with Paul afterwards! I was happy Paul came along with me. We stayed at the Shangri-La and he continued to work from our hotel room while I was at lectures.
